Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if the drug NULOJIX® (belatacept) will minimize the amount of other anti-rejection medications necessary and thereby reduce the long-term side effects caused by the other medications. The researchers also want to learn more about the safety of this treatment and long term health of transplanted pancreases and kidneys.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Transplant recipients have to take anti-rejection medications to prevent their immune systems (the body's natural defense system against illness) from rejecting their new organs. Most patients who receive a transplanted organ must take these anti-rejection medications for the rest of their lives, or for as long as the transplanted organ continues to work. Taking standard anti-rejection medications for a long time can cause serious side effects, including pancreas and kidney damage. There would be a benefit to finding new anti-rejection medications that work just as well, but could lessen the amount of anti-rejection medications that are taken long term.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Calculated for Each Treatment Group Using the CKD-EPI Equation at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [Week 52 Post-Transplant]

      eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI): A score of ≥90 means kidney function is normal. A score between 60 and 89 indicates mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease. Scores between 30 and 59 indicates moderately reduced kidney function. Scores between 15 and 29 indicate severely reduced kidney function. Scores below 15 indicate very severe or end stage kidney failure.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Count of Participants With eGFR < 60 mL/Min/1.73 m^2 Measured by CKD-EPI at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [Week 52 Post-Transplant]

      eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI): A score of ≥90 means kidney function is normal. A score between 60 and 89 indicates mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease. Scores between 30 and 59 indicates moderately reduced kidney function. Scores between 15 and 29 indicate severely reduced kidney function. Scores below 15 indicate very severe or end stage kidney failure.

    2. Count of Participants by CKD Stage at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [Week 52 Post-Transplant]

      The stages of Chronic Kidney Disease are defined using the participant's GFR value: Stage 1 if GFR value is ≥90 ( kidney function is normal) Stage 2 if 60 ≤ GFR < 90 (mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease) Stage 3A if 45 ≤ GFR < 60* Stage 3B if 30 ≤ GFR < 45* Stage 4 if 15 ≤ GFR < 30 (severely reduced kidney function) Stage 5 if GFR < 15 (severe or end stage kidney failure). Stages 3A and 3B indicate moderately reduced kidney function.*

    3. Count of Participants With Defined CKD Stage 4 or 5 at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [Week 52 Post-Transplant]

      The stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are defined using the participant's GFR value: Stage 1 if GFR value is ≥ 90 (kidney function is normal) Stage 2 if 60 ≤ GFR < 90 (mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease) Stage 3A if 45 <= GFR < 60* Stage 3B if 30 <= GFR < 45* Stage 4 if 15 ≤ GFR < 30 (severely reduced kidney function) Stage 5 if GFR < 15 (severe or end stage kidney failure). Stages 3A abd 3B indicate moderately reduced kidney function.*

    4. Mean Calculated eGFR Using MDRD 4 Variable Model at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [Week 52 Post-Transplant]

      The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation (MDRD): A score of ≥ 90 means kidney function is normal. A score between 60 and 89 indicates mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease. Scores between 30 and 59 indicates moderately reduced kidney function. Scores between 15 and 29 indicate severely reduced kidney function. Scores below 15 indicate severe or endstage kidney failure.

    5. The Slope of eGFR by CKD-EPI Over Time Based on Serum Creatinine Post-Transplant [Day 28 through Week 52 Post-Transplant]

      The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI): A score of ≥ 90 means kidney function is normal. A score between 60 and 89 indicates mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease. Scores between 30 and 59 indicates moderately reduced kidney function. Scores between 15 and 29 indicate severely reduced kidney function. Scores below 15 indicate very severe or endstage kidney failure. An estimate of the slope, or change over time, in eGFR was produced using standard statistical linear modeling procedures. The estimate was then re-scaled so that it could be interpreted as a change in eGFR per month. Positive numbers indicate increasing kidney function. Larger numbers indicate greater change in kidney function.

    6. Count of Participants With Successful Discontinuation of Tacrolimus in Recipients Randomized to the Investigational Arm [Week 40 through week 48 Post-Transplant]

    Pre-assignment Detail
    Arm/Group Title Investigational Control Enrolled, Not Randomized
    Arm/Group Description Induction: Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at a dose of 500 mg on the day of transplant, and tapered to 250 mg on day 1, 125 mg on day 2, 60 mg on day 3, 30 mg on day 4, and 0 mg on day 5. A target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days of Thymoglobulin was administered via intravenous infusion. Maintenance: Belatacept (NULOJIX) was given at a dose of 10 mg/kg on days 5, 14, 28, 56, and 84. After 84 days participants received 5 mg/kg every 4 weeks until the completion of the trial. Site investigator determined the initial dose of tacrolimus (tac) started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 5-8 ng/ml during the first 24 weeks, and adjusted to 3-5 ng/ml until week 40. If eligible, at week 40 tac withdrawal was initiated over a 4-8 week period. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) or equivalent was administered at a target dose of 1000 mg PO or IV BID starting on the day of transplant or day 1. Induction: 500 mg of MEDROL was administered on the day of transplant, and tapered to 250 mg on day 1, 125 mg on day 2, 60 mg on day 3, 30 mg on day 4, and 0 mg on day 5. A target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days of Thymoglobulin was administered via intravenous infusion. Maintenance: Site investigator determined the initial dose of tacrolimus (tac) that started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 8-12 ng/ml during the first 24 weeks, and adjusted to 5-8 ng/ml thereafter. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) or equivalent was administered at a target dose of 1000 mg PO or IV BID starting on the day of transplant or day 1. Subjects who signed informed consent and were thus enrolled, but were not randomized to study treatment.

    Arm/Group Title Investigational Control
    Arm/Group Description Induction: Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at a dose of 500 mg on the day of transplant, and tapered to 250 mg on day 1, 125 mg on day 2, 60 mg on day 3, 30 mg on day 4, and 0 mg on day 5. A target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days of Thymoglobulin was administered via intravenous infusion. Maintenance: Belatacept (NULOJIX) was given at a dose of 10 mg/kg on days 5, 14, 28, 56, and 84. After 84 days participants received 5 mg/kg every 4 weeks until the completion of the trial. Site investigator determined the initial dose of tacrolimus (tac) started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 5-8 ng/ml during the first 24 weeks, and adjusted to 3-5 ng/ml until week 40. If eligible, at week 40 tac withdrawal was initiated over a 4-8 week period. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) or equivalent was administered at a target dose of 1000 mg PO or IV BID starting on the day of transplant or day 1. Induction: 500 mg of MEDROL was administered on the day of transplant, and tapered to 250 mg on day 1, 125 mg on day 2, 60 mg on day 3, 30 mg on day 4, and 0 mg on day 5. A target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days of Thymoglobulin was administered via intravenous infusion. Maintenance: Site investigator determined the initial dose of tacrolimus (tac) that started on the day of transplant or day 1.

    Title Count of Participants With Event of Death, Graft Loss, or Undetectable C-peptide
    Description This measure counts death, graft loss, or undetectable C-peptide value (e.g., C-peptide <0.3 ng/mL) occurring at any point post-transplant and independent of each other. Kidney Graft Loss was defined as 90 consecutive days of dialysis dependency. Pancreas graft loss was defined as returning to exogenous insulin therapy or initiation of oral hypoglycemic agents for greater than 30 days. Factitious hypoglycemia due to surreptitious insulin administration results in elevated serum insulin levels and low or undetectable C-peptide levels.
