Phase II/III, Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Multiple-Dose Study of Efficacy and Safety of BMS-224818 (Belatacept) as Part of a Quadruple Drug Regimen in First Renal Transplant Recipients

The MI regimen was designed to achieve projected serum trough concentrations of belatacept of approximately 20 μg/mL through Day 99, and approximately 5 μg/mL through Day 183 (10 mg/kg on Days 1, 5, 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 113, 141, and 169). After Day 169, patients were reallocated and dosed to achieve projected trough serum concentrations of approximately 2 or 0.25 μg/mL (5 mg/kg every 4 or 8 weeks starting on Day 197). Those patients who received belatacept every 8 weeks received placebo infusions on scheduled treatment dates between infusions of active drug to maintain the blind between treatment regimens. Patients initially received mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), 2 g/d orally, unless the investigator chose to administer ≥1 doses intravenously The first MMF dose was administered preoperatively; subsequent doses were administered in 2 or 3 divided doses, every 8-12 hours, beginning as soon as the patient was able to tolerate medications by mouth. Corticosteroids given daily.

The LI regimen was designed to achieve projected trough serum concentrations of belatacept of approximately 20 μg/mL through Day 29, and approximately 5 μg/mL through Day 99 (10 mg/kg on Days 1, 15, 29, 57 and 85). After Day 85, these subjects were reallocated and dosed to achieve projected trough serum concentrations of either approximately 2 or 0.25 μg/mL (5 mg/kg every 4 or 8 weeks starting on Day 113).

The initial daily dose was 7±3 mg/kg. Subsequent doses were adjusted to maintain a predefined range of serum concentrations: 1st month, target level 150-400 ng/mL; after 1st month, target level of 150-300 ng/mL.
