Overview
Brief Summary
This study was to compare CFZ533 to tacrolimus (TAC) in prevention of organ rejection in kidney transplant.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of three CFZ533 dose regimens in kidney transplant recipients. Study CCFZ533A2201 was a randomized, planned 60-month (5 year) study comprising of 12-months treatment for the primary analysis plus an additional 48-month treatment period. The study had 2 different cohorts: adult de novo kidney transplant recipients and maintenance kidney transplant population (6-24 months post-transplant). The study was terminated after the interim analysis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Composite Efficacy Failure Event (Biopsy Proven Acute Rejection (BPAR), Graft Loss or Death) Over 12 Months Post-transplantation (Cohort 1)
Time Frame: 12 Months
The composite efficacy failure event is defined as any of the following: (1) biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) or (2) graft loss or (3) death. BPAR (BANFF ≥ 1A) is based on the central and adjudicated assessments. Graft loss is defined as when the allograft was presumed lost on the day the participant started dialysis and was not able to subsequently be removed from dialysis or re-transplanted. If the participant underwent allograft nephrectomy prior to start of permanent dialysis, the day of the nephrectomy was day of graft loss.
Percentage of Participants With Composite Efficacy Failure Event (BPAR, Graft Loss or Death) Over 12 Months Post-conversion (Cohort 2)
Time Frame: 12 Months
The composite efficacy failure event is defined as any of the following: (1) biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) or (2) graft loss or (3) death. BPAR (BANFF ≥ 1A) is based on the central and adjudicated assessments. Graft loss is defined as when the allograft was presumed lost on the day the participant started dialysis and was not able to subsequently be removed from dialysis or re-transplanted. If the participant underwent allograft nephrectomy prior to start of permanent dialysis, the day of the nephrectomy was day of graft loss.
Secondary Outcomes
- Cohort 1: Mean Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ((MDRD4) at 12 Months Post-transplantation(12 months)
- Cohort 2: Mean Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ((MDRD4) at 12 Months Post-conversion(12 months)
- Free CFZ533 Plasma Concentrations Over Time (Cohort 1)(Day 1-Pre-Dose to Month 30-Pre-Dose)
- Free CFZ533 Plasma Concentrations Over Time (Cohort 2)(Day 1-Pre-Dose to Month 30-Pre-Dose)
- Semi-quantiative Analysis of Anti-CFZ533 Antibodes in Plasma (CFZ533 Treated Patients Only) (Cohort 1)(24 Months)
- Semi-quantiative Analysis of Anti-CFZ533 Antibodes in Plasma (CFZ533 Treated Patients Only) (Cohort 2)(24 Months)
