Phase II/III, Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Multiple-Dose Study of Efficacy and Safety of BMS-224818 (Belatacept) as Part of a Quadruple Drug Regimen in First Renal Transplant Recipients
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Belatacept, Cyclosporine, and 2 other interventions for Graft Rejection and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 230 participants across 12 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Belatacept (BMS-224818) is as efficacious as treatment with cyclosporine at preventing acute rejection and with a superior safety/tolerability profile (better kidney function and blood pressure, fewer lipid problems, less diabetes mellitus).
