简要总结
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of VEL-101 compared with tacrolimus in patients undergoing kidney transplantation.
详细描述
This study is a randomized, multicenter, partially blinded, active control study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of VEL-101 compared with tacrolimus in the prevention of rejection in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Up to 120 de novo kidney transplant recipients will receive rATG with corticosteroids (CS), and mycophenolate as maintenance therapy, and will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive either VEL-101 (low dose or high dose) or tacrolimus.
