A Study Comparing Siplizumab With Rabbit Anti-Thymocyte Globulin to Help the Body Accept a Kidney Transplant
RECRUITING
18 years to 70 years old
Inclusion Criteria:
* Recipients of a renal allograft from a non-HLA identical living or deceased donor.
* Recipients of a kidney with a cold ischemia time \< 30 hours; hypothermic machine perfusion within the same timeframe is acceptable.
* Women of childbearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Transplant recipients seronegative for EBV.
* Transplant recipients receiving a kidney from a non-heart beating donor (ie, DCD) whose organ is retrieved from an uncontrolled DCD or whose donor age \> 55 years of age.
* Multi-organ transplant recipients (eg, kidney-pancreas, organ other than kidney), dual-kidney transplant recipients, recipients with more than one prior kidney transplant, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients.
* Presence of current or historical DSA via single-antigen bead assay or local SoC. The MFI cut-off value used to determine the presence of DSA will be defined as per the institutional SoC. Results within 3 months prior to transplant are acceptable.
* Crossmatch positive (isolated positive B cell crossmatches are not an exclusion criterion).
* ABO-incompatible recipient.
* Administration of complement inhibitor therapy within 6 months prior to the transplant, or likely to require treatment with complement inhibitor therapy during the study.
* Participants receiving immunosuppressive therapies prior to transplant for pre-existing conditions must be candidates for the protocol-defined regimen.
* History of malignancy of any organ system, except for localized excised non-melanomatous skin lesions or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
* Seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis B surface antigen. Participants who are seropositive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) are excluded without proof of sustained viral response after anti-HCV treatment.
* Recipient of a kidney from a donor who tests positive for human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis B surface antigen/hepatitis B core protein.
* History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemical classes (eg, siplizumab, rATG, TAC, MPA derivatives, CS).
* Evidence of active tuberculosis (TB) infection (participants with a history of latent TB may become eligible after treatment with anti-TB therapy according to national guidelines).
* Participants with severe systemic infection(s), at the time of screening or within 2 weeks prior to randomizationDRUG: Siplizumab, DRUG: Rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin
