Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of biopsy-proven acute allograft rejection during the first post-transplant year
acute rejection proved by graft biopsy
Secondary Outcomes (9)
Proportion of patients who experienced an acute rejection episode, whether confirmed by biopsy or not at 1 year.
graft dysfunction
Proportion of patients who experienced more than one episode of acute allograft rejection
graft dysfunction, biopsies
Proportion of patients who experienced an acute rejection episode that required therapy by anti-lymphocyte antibodies (ATG or OKT3)
number of anti-lymphocyte treatment required for acute rejection episodes
Number of acute rejection episodes per therapeutic arms and mean number of acute rejection episode per patient in each arm
graft dysfunction and biopsies
Banff grade of the first rejection episode
graft biopsy
- +4 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
1, ATG
ACTIVE COMPARATORThymoglobulin induction during 8 days (1.25 mg/kg per day) associated with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and steroids
2, Daclizumab
ACTIVE COMPARATORDacluzamb induction (five infusions, 1 mg/kg per infusion) associated with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and steroids
Interventions
Thymoglobulin: 1.25 mg/kg per day from day 0 to day 7 post transplantation
Daclizumab: 1mg/kg at day 0, 14, 28, 42 and 56 post transplantation
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Third or fourth renal graft or
- Current anti-HLA antibodies above or equal to 30% at the last evaluation or
- Peak anti-HLA antibodies above or equal to 50% at the last evaluation or
- A second graft if the first was lost within 2 years because of rejection.
- Patients who gave their informed consent and are able to understand the scope of the study
You may not qualify if:
- Transplantation from living donors or recipients of multiple grafts or patients who already have received another (non-renal) allograft.
- Transplantation from a non-heart beating donor
- Transplantation of two kidneys from the same donor
- Patients with generalized infection at the time of transplantation
- Women in child-bearing age who do not plan to use efficient contraception
