Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percent of Participants Surviving With a Functioning Graft by Month 12 [Day 1 to Month 12]

    Graft loss was defined as either functional loss or physical loss (nephrectomy). Functional loss was defined as a sustained level of serum creatinine (SCr) ≥ 6.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 530 micromolar per liter (μmol/L) as determined by the central laboratory for ≥ 4 weeks or ≥ 56 consecutive days of dialysis or impairment of renal function to such a degree that the participant underwent retransplant.

  2. Percent of Participants With a Composite of Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR) Less Than 60 mL/Min/1.73 m^2 at Month 12 or With a Decrease in mGFR Greater Than or Equal to 10 mL/Min/1.73m^2 From Month 3 to Month 12 [Month 12; Month 3 to Month 12]

    Measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) is the direct measurement of renal function and was assessed by measurement of the clearance of a true glomerular filtration marker (non-radiolabeled iothalamate) using a validated procedure. A GFR of 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 was used as the approximate equal of the threshold values of serum creatinine (SCr) of 1.5 mg/dL. A change in GFR of at least 10 mL/min/1.73 m^2 was used as the approximate change in SCr of at least 0.3 mg/dL. The change component of the composite renal endpoint was assessed from Month 3 to Month 12, since post-transplant renal function is largely stable by Month 3.

  3. Percent of Participants Experiencing Acute Rejection (AR) Post-transplant by Month 12 [Day 1 to Month 12]

    Acute rejection was defined as a clinico-pathological event requiring clinical evidence and biopsy confirmation. Clinical evidence was defined if either a or b was satisfied: a: an unexplained rise of serum creatinine ≥ 25% from baseline creatinine; b: an unexplained decreased urine output; or fever and graft tenderness; or a serum creatinine that remains elevated within 14 days post-transplantation and clinical suspicion of acute rejection exists. Allograft biopsies were evaluated by a blinded central independent pathologist using Banff 97 working classification of kidney transplant pathology. Banff 97 diagnostic category for renal allograft biopsies is an international standardized histopathological classification. AR was defined by a renal biopsy demonstrating a Banff 97 classification of Grade IA or greater, with higher scores indicating more severe rejection. Only the episode with the highest Banff grade for each participant was counted.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Mean Value of the Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR) [Months 3, 12, 24]

    Measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) is the direct measurement of renal function and was assessed by measurement of the clearance of a true glomerular filtration marker (non-radiolabeled iothalamate) using a validated procedure. Missing mGRF assessments were imputed to assess renal function. The overall imputation strategy involved a primary imputation method (linear extrapolation and quartile method) followed by 2 secondary imputation methods (regression method and graded quartile method) to assess the robustness of conclusions obtained from the application of the primary imputation method. All imputation methods entailed replacing a missing value with a value drawn from a plausible distribution incorporating theoretical and observed aspects of the data. GFR was measured as mL/min/1.73 m^2.

  2. Percent of Participants With Prevalence of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy (CAN) at Month 12 [Month 12]

    Prevalence of CAN = if participant met any of the following conditions: a: CAN observed in a biopsy either prior to 12 months (including baseline biopsy) or first post 12 months biopsy; b: participant had graft loss during the first year post transplant; c: no biopsy was available post 12 months and CAN not observed in biopsies prior to 12 months, but the measured GFR from Month 3 to Month 12 decreased at least 10 mL/min/1.73m^2; d: no biopsy available either prior to or post 12 months, and the measured GFR (incorporated missing data imputation) from Month 3 to Month 12 decreased at least 10 mL/min/1.73m^2. CAN = All allograft biopsies evaluated for presence and severity of CAN by a blinded central independent pathologist using Banff 97 working classification of kidney transplant pathology. Onset of CAN determined by the biopsy date when it was observed.

  4. Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest by Month 84 [Randomization to Month 84]

    Prospectively identified events of special interest which were a subset of all AEs, and were either SAEs or non-serious AEs, included the following categories: Serious Infections and Infestations, Thrombolic/embolic events, and Malignancy. AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/ abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Time frame is from randomization to the event date, or to the last dose date+56, or to Month 84 (Day 2548), whichever is the earliest.

  5. Mean Blood Pressure at Month 84 [Month 84]

    Blood pressure was measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Blood pressure was measured soon after the participant arrived and sat quietly at rest for 10 minutes. 3 consecutive seated blood pressure readings were made at least 1 minute apart.

This was a cumulative summary (excluding baseline) and once a participant was positive, that participant remained positive for the later time point. Acute rejection (AR) defined: a clinico-pathological event requiring clinical evidence and biopsy confirmation. Clinical evidence defined: if either a or b was satisfied: a: an unexplained rise of serum creatinine ≥ 25% from baseline creatinine; b: an unexplained decreased urine output; or fever and graft tenderness; or a serum creatinine that remains elevated within 14 days post-transplantation and clinical suspicion of acute rejection exists.

  15. Percent of Participants With Incidence of Hypertension Post-Transplantation at Month 12 [Month 12]

    The incidence of hypertension was defined as the proportion of participants who developed hypertension after randomization and transplantation. Specifically, the incidence of hypertension was assessed only after the Week 4 visit. This period allowed for adequate stabilization and resolution of transient changes. If participants received antihypertensive medication for the indication of hypertension at this (or later) time point, they were considered to have developed hypertension. Hypertension was defined according to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure for subjects with chronic kidney disease.

Dyslipidemia defined as hypertriglyceridemia (TGs >= 500 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) [5.65 mmol/L]), hypercholesterolemia (LDL >= 100 mg/dL [2.59 mmol/L]), or elevated non-HDL (non-HDL >= 130 mg/dL [3.36 mmol/L]) in the presence of high TGs (TGs >= 200 mg/dL [2.26 mmol/L]). Controlled dyslipidemia defined as participants who received successful pharmacologic treatment for 1 of the above stated dyslipidemias, and their lipid values fell below the thresholds described. TG = triglyceride; LDL = low density lipoprotein; HDL = high density lipoprotein; millimole/Liter (mmol/L). For 95% CI within each group, normal approximation is used if N >=5. Otherwise exact method is used.

  23. Number of Participants With Antihyperlipidemic Medication by Intensity Level [Month 36]

    An intensity level was associated with the dose level of the statin based anti-hyperlipidemic agent. Any other agent (i.e., non-statin therapy) used as an antihyperlipidemic were considered Level I treatment intensity. Multiple daily dose levels during a period were averaged to compute the daily dose during that period. Level I = 20 mg fluvastatin (flu), 10 mg lovastatin (lova), 10 mg pravastatin (prav), 5-10 mg simvastatin (sim); Level II = 10 mg atorvastatin (atorv), 40 mg flu, 20 mg lova, 20 mg prav, 5 mg rosuvastatin (rosu), 20 mg sim, 10/10 vytorin; Level III = 20 mg atorv, 80 mg flu, 40 mg lova, 40 mg prav, 10 mg rosu, 40 mg sim, 10/20 vytorin; Level IV = 40 mg atorv, 80 mg lova, 80 mg prav, 20 mg rosu, 80 mg sim, 10/40 vytorin; Level V = 80 mg atorv, 40 mg rosu, 10/80 vytorin. Concomitant use of a statin and an agent of another class elevated the intensity level of the statin therapy by 1 level; therefore, an intensity level of greater than V was possible.

  34. Mean Value of Physical and Mental Components Using SF-36 Questionnaire [Months 6, 12, 24, 36]

    SF-36 was a Participant-Reported Quality of Life (QoL) Short Form (SF) questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) covering 2 scale measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). PCS represented by 4 domains: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, pain, and general health perception. MCS represented by 4 domains: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Their scores were computed based on weighted combinations of the 8 domain scores, which were transformed to a range from 0 to 100; 0= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. Higher scores reflect better health-related functional status. Scoring is standardized using the norm-based scoring method where data is scored in relation to the U.S. general population having a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Scores below 50 are below the U.S. general population norm and above 50 are above the U.S. general population norm.

  36. Mean Relative to an Identified Distribution (Ridit) Value of Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Using Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale (MTSOSDS-59R) [Months 6, 12, 24, 36]

    The Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale (MTSOSD-59R) was used to assess the occurrence (never, occasionally, regularly, almost always, always) and distress (0=no distress to 4=terrible distress) of symptoms associated with immunosuppressive therapies. Ridit (relative to an identified distribution) analysis (Fleiss JL. Statistical methods for rates and proportions. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1991) was used. Ridit scores were calculated at baseline and at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months for overall symptom occurrence score and overall symptom distress. The Ridit score reflects the probability that a score observed for an individual randomly selected from a group would be higher (worse symptom) than a score observed for a randomly selected individual from the reference group. The reference group was constituted by the frequency distribution of the responses of all participants on all items at baseline. The ridit of the reference group is by definition, 0.5.

  39. Percent of Participants Surviving With a Functioning Graft [Months 24, 36]

    Graft loss was defined as either functional loss or physical loss (nephrectomy). Functional loss was defined as a sustained level of serum creatinine (SCr) ≥ 6.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 530 micromoles per liter (μmol/L) as determined by the central laboratory for ≥ 4 weeks or ≥ 56 consecutive days of dialysis or impairment of renal function to such a degree that the participant underwent retransplant.

  40. Percent of Participants With Composite Endpoint or Death, Graft Loss or Acute Rejection by Month 36 [Randomization to Month 36]

    Graft loss was defined as either functional loss or physical loss (nephrectomy). Functional loss was defined as a sustained level of serum creatinine (SCr) ≥ 6.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 530 micromoles per liter (μmol/L) as determined by the central laboratory for ≥ 4 weeks or ≥ 56 consecutive days of dialysis or impairment of renal function to such a degree that the participant underwent retransplant. Acute rejection was defined as central biopsy proven rejection that was either (1) clinically suspected by protocol defined reasons or (2) clinically suspected by other reasons and treated. Death and graft loss were not imputed.

Comments A non-inferiority margin of 10% for the co-primary endpoint of participant and graft survival was used. Determination of a margin for non-inferiority based on 'preservation of benefit' is not feasible, given the low rate of patient death and/or graft loss in the first year post-transplantation, and the absence of published, adequately sized, parallel-group trials with which to assess the effect of CsA on patient death and/or graft loss in the setting of MMF/steroids/basiliximab.

2. Primary Outcome
Title Percent of Participants With a Composite of Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR) Less Than 60 mL/Min/1.73 m^2 at Month 12 or With a Decrease in mGFR Greater Than or Equal to 10 mL/Min/1.73m^2 From Month 3 to Month 12
Description Measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) is the direct measurement of renal function and was assessed by measurement of the clearance of a true glomerular filtration marker (non-radiolabeled iothalamate) using a validated procedure. A GFR of 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 was used as the approximate equal of the threshold values of serum creatinine (SCr) of 1.5 mg/dL. A change in GFR of at least 10 mL/min/1.73 m^2 was used as the approximate change in SCr of at least 0.3 mg/dL. The change component of the composite renal endpoint was assessed from Month 3 to Month 12, since post-transplant renal function is largely stable by Month 3.

3. Primary Outcome
Title Percent of Participants Experiencing Acute Rejection (AR) Post-transplant by Month 12
Description Acute rejection was defined as a clinico-pathological event requiring clinical evidence and biopsy confirmation. Clinical evidence was defined if either a or b was satisfied: a: an unexplained rise of serum creatinine ≥ 25% from baseline creatinine; b: an unexplained decreased urine output; or fever and graft tenderness; or a serum creatinine that remains elevated within 14 days post-transplantation and clinical suspicion of acute rejection exists. Allograft biopsies were evaluated by a blinded central independent pathologist using Banff 97 working classification of kidney transplant pathology. Banff 97 diagnostic category for renal allograft biopsies is an international standardized histopathological classification. AR was defined by a renal biopsy demonstrating a Banff 97 classification of Grade IA or greater, with higher scores indicating more severe rejection. Only the episode with the highest Banff grade for each participant was counted.

4. Secondary Outcome
Title Mean Value of the Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR)
Description Measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) is the direct measurement of renal function and was assessed by measurement of the clearance of a true glomerular filtration marker (non-radiolabeled iothalamate) using a validated procedure. Missing mGRF assessments were imputed to assess renal function. The overall imputation strategy involved a primary imputation method (linear extrapolation and quartile method) followed by 2 secondary imputation methods (regression method and graded quartile method) to assess the robustness of conclusions obtained from the application of the primary imputation method. All imputation methods entailed replacing a missing value with a value drawn from a plausible distribution incorporating theoretical and observed aspects of the data. GFR was measured as mL/min/1.73 m^2.

Description Only participants who had non-missing test result for Class I or Class II anti-donor HLA antibodies were included in analysis and only participants who had at least one non-NA test result or finding were counted. This was a cumulative summary (excluding baseline) and once a participant was positive, that participant remained positive for the later time point. Acute rejection (AR) defined: a clinico-pathological event requiring clinical evidence and biopsy confirmation. Clinical evidence defined: if either a or b was satisfied: a: an unexplained rise of serum creatinine ≥ 25% from baseline creatinine; b: an unexplained decreased urine output; or fever and graft tenderness; or a serum creatinine that remains elevated within 14 days post-transplantation and clinical suspicion of acute rejection exists.

Title Mean Change of the Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR) From Month 3 to Month 12 and From Month 3 to Month 24
Description Measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) is the direct measurement of renal function and was assessed by measurement of the clearance of a true glomerular filtration marker (non-radiolabeled iothalamate) using a validated procedure. Missing mGRF assessments were imputed to assess renal function. The overall imputation strategy involved a primary imputation method (linear extrapolation and quartile method) followed by 2 secondary imputation methods (regression method and graded quartile method) to assess the robustness of conclusions obtained from the application of the primary imputation method. All imputation methods entailed replacing a missing value with a value drawn from a plausible distribution incorporating theoretical and observed aspects of the data. GFR was measured as mL/min/1.73 m^2.

Title Number of Participants With Antihyperlipidemic Medication by Intensity Level
Description An intensity level was associated with the dose level of the statin based anti-hyperlipidemic agent. Any other agent (i.e., non-statin therapy) used as an antihyperlipidemic were considered Level I treatment intensity. Multiple daily dose levels during a period were averaged to compute the daily dose during that period. Level I = 20 mg fluvastatin (flu), 10 mg lovastatin (lova), 10 mg pravastatin (prav), 5-10 mg simvastatin (sim); Level II = 10 mg atorvastatin (atorv), 40 mg flu, 20 mg lova, 20 mg prav, 5 mg rosuvastatin (rosu), 20 mg sim, 10/10 vytorin; Level III = 20 mg atorv, 80 mg flu, 40 mg lova, 40 mg prav, 10 mg rosu, 40 mg sim, 10/20 vytorin; Level IV = 40 mg atorv, 80 mg lova, 80 mg prav, 20 mg rosu, 80 mg sim, 10/40 vytorin; Level V = 80 mg atorv, 40 mg rosu, 10/80 vytorin. Concomitant use of a statin and an agent of another class elevated the intensity level of the statin therapy by 1 level; therefore, an intensity level of greater than V was possible.

Title Percent of Participants With Prevalence of Acute Rejection (AR) by Month 36
Description Prevalence of AR = participants with the stated definition of AR at any given time. AR defined as a clinico-pathological event requiring clinical evidence and renal biopsy confirmation demonstrating a Banff 97 classification of Grade IA or greater, with higher scores indicating more severe rejection. Only the episode with the highest Banff grade for each participant was counted. Clinical evidence = if either a or b was satisfied: a: an unexplained rise of serum creatinine ≥ 25% from baseline creatinine; b: an unexplained decreased urine output; or fever and graft tenderness; or a serum creatinine that remains elevated within 14 days post-transplantation and clinical suspicion of acute rejection exists. Allograft biopsies were evaluated by a blinded central independent pathologist using Banff 97 working classification of kidney transplant pathology. Banff 97 diagnostic category for renal allograft biopsies is an international standardized histopathological classification.

Description A participant was considered to have delayed graft function (DGF), if treated with dialysis within the first week (Day 1 - 8) after transplantation. The use of polyclonal antilymphocyte preparations (LDT) was permitted only for participants randomized to cyclosporine (CsA) who experienced impaired renal allograft function and anticipated DGF following transplantation and were not permitted in belatacept-treated participants, except for the treatment of acute rejection. Participants treated with LDT began CsA at the discretion of the investigator by Day 7. LDT could also have been used in participants who met >= 1 of the following criteria, observed in the presence of a transplant artery and vein and no evidence of hydronephrosis by sonogram: Urine output < 250 mL/12 hours, no significant improvement (< 1 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL)) in serum creatinine from baseline value over the first 24 - 72 hours post-transplant, or dialysis treatment.

Title Percent of Participants With Corticosteroid Resistant Acute Rejection (AR) by Month 36
Description Steroid-resistant acute rejection (AR) defined as the use of lymphocyte-depletion therapy following treatment with corticosteroids. AR defined as a clinico-pathological event requiring clinical evidence and renal biopsy confirmation demonstrating a Banff 97 classification of Grade IA or greater, with higher scores indicating more severe rejection. Clinical evidence defined: either a or b was satisfied: a) an unexplained rise of serum creatinine ≥ 25% from baseline creatinine; b) an unexplained decreased urine output; or fever and graft tenderness; or a serum creatinine that remained elevated within 14 days post-transplantation and clinical suspicion of acute rejection existed. Allograft biopsies were evaluated by a blinded central independent pathologist using Banff 97 international standardized histopathological working classification of kidney transplant pathology. Only the episode with the highest Banff grade for each participant was counted.

Title Number of Participants Who Recovered Completely From an Episode of Acute Rejection (AR) by Month 12
Description Acute rejection (AR) = a clinico-pathological event requiring clinical evidence and renal biopsy confirmation demonstrating a Banff 97 classification of Grade IA or greater. Clinical evidence = if either a or b was satisfied: a: an unexplained rise of serum creatinine ≥ 25% from baseline creatinine; b: an unexplained decreased urine output; or fever and graft tenderness; or a serum creatinine that remains elevated within 14 days post-transplantation and clinical suspicion of acute rejection exists. Complete recovery following AR defined as serum creatinine [SCr] levels returned to baseline. Recovery calculated using 2 algorithms: Algorithm 1 = last laboratory measurement prior to onset of AR (baseline and first laboratory measurement after 84 days since onset of AR = resolution); Algorithm 2 = lowest laboratory measurement on or after transplantation and prior to onset day of AR (baseline and lowest laboratory measurement after onset on first AR up to Month 12 = resolution)

Title Mean Value of Physical and Mental Components Using SF-36 Questionnaire
Description SF-36 was a Participant-Reported Quality of Life (QoL) Short Form (SF) questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) covering 2 scale measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). PCS represented by 4 domains: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, pain, and general health perception. MCS represented by 4 domains: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Their scores were computed based on weighted combinations of the 8 domain scores, which were transformed to a range from 0 to 100; 0= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. Higher scores reflect better health-related functional status. Scoring is standardized using the norm-based scoring method where data is scored in relation to the U.S. general population having a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Scores below 50 are below the U.S. general population norm and above 50 are above the U.S. general population norm.

39. Secondary Outcome
Title Mean Relative to an Identified Distribution (Ridit) Value of Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Using Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale (MTSOSDS-59R)
Description The Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale (MTSOSD-59R) was used to assess the occurrence (never, occasionally, regularly, almost always, always) and distress (0=no distress to 4=terrible distress) of symptoms associated with immunosuppressive therapies. Ridit (relative to an identified distribution) analysis (Fleiss JL. Statistical methods for rates and proportions. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1991) was used. Ridit scores were calculated at baseline and at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months for overall symptom occurrence score and overall symptom distress. The Ridit score reflects the probability that a score observed for an individual randomly selected from a group would be higher (worse symptom) than a score observed for a randomly selected individual from the reference group. The reference group was constituted by the frequency distribution of the responses of all participants on all items at baseline. The ridit of the reference group is by definition, 0.5.

40. Secondary Outcome
Title Mean Changes in the Value of Physical and Mental Components Using SF-36 From Baseline Up To Months 6, 12, 24, and 36
Description SF-36 was a Participant-Reported Quality of Life (QoL) Short Form (SF) questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) covering 2 scale measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). PCS represented by 4 domains: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, pain, and general health perception. MCS represented by 4 domains: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Their scores were computed based on weighted combinations of the 8 domain scores, which were transformed to a range from 0 to 100; 0= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. Higher scores reflect better health-related functional status. Scoring is standardized using the norm-based scoring method where data is scored in relation to the U.S. general population having a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Scores below 50 are below the U.S. general population norm and above 50 are above the U.S. general population norm.

41. Secondary Outcome
Title Mean Change in the Value of the Eight Domain Scores Using SF-36 From Baseline Up To Months 6, 12, 24, and 36
Description SF-36 was a Participant-Reported Quality of Life (QoL) Short Form (SF) questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) covering 2 scale measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). PCS represented by 4 domains: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, pain, and general health perception. MCS represented by 4 domains: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Their scores were computed based on weighted combinations of the 8 domain scores, which were transformed to a range from 0 to 100; 0= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. Higher scores reflect better health-related functional status. Scoring is standardized using the norm-based scoring method where data is scored in relation to the U.S. general population having a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Scores below 50 are below the U.S. general population norm and above 50 are above the U.S. general population norm.
