Clinical Trial Summary

During transplant surgery, there is a period of time when a donated kidney is removed from a donor's body and stored until the time of the transplant surgery. The storage procedure results in buildup of various proteins within the kidney that can injure the donated kidney after it is transplanted. One of these proteins is tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether taking infliximab, which blocks tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), just prior to transplant surgery, along with usual transplant medicines will protect the donated kidney from damage caused by TNF-alpha and help keep the transplanted kidney healthy for a longer period of time.


Description:

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double blind (masked), placebo-controlled, 2-arm clinical trial of 300 deceased donor kidney transplant recipients. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to the experimental or control arm (150 subjects per arm).

Primary The Difference Between the Mean eGFR (Modified MDRD) in the Experimental vs. Control Groups. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of kidney function and helps determine the stage of kidney disease. eGFR was estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. A value of 90+ means kidney function is normal. A value between 60 and 89 indicates mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease. Values between 30 and 59 indicates moderately reduced kidney function. Values between 15 and 29 indicate severely reduced kidney function. Values below 15 indicate very severe or endstage kidney failure. eGFR values from months 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 were used to generate an estimate of the month 24 eGFR for each treatment group. 24-Month post-transplantation

Secondary Percent of Participants With Primary Non-Function (PNF), Defined as Dialysis-dependency for More Than 3 Months. Post-transplant dialysis is sometimes required in the setting of kidney transplant. If such dialysis continues for more than 3 months, the participant is considered to have PNF and, as such, meets this endpoint definition. Transplantation through at least month 3 up to month 24
Secondary Change From Baseline (Immediately After Surgery) in Serum Creatinine. Serum creatinine (mg/dL) is used to measure kidney function. A normal result is 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women. Higher results indicate poorer kidney function, as creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys. eGFR values from 24, 48, and 72 hours post-transplant (i.e., days 1, 2, and 3) were used to generate an estimate of the serum creatinine at each time point of interest for each treatment group. 24, 48 and 72 hours post-transplantation
Secondary Days From Transplantation Until Event (ACR, AMR, or Hospitalization for Infection and/or Malignancy) Participants are considered to have met this endpoint if they experienced biopsy-proven T-cell mediated rejection (ACR) or antibody mediated rejection (AMR) based on central pathology reading or were hospitalized for infection and/or malignancy. For participants who met one or more of these three components, the earliest event date of the three components was used as the time of meeting the endpoint. Participants who did not meet any of the three components were censored at their last date of follow-up. Event (or censor) day was calculated as event (or censor) date minus transplant date. 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary The Percent of Participants With a Serum Creatinine of More Than 3 mg/dL. Serum creatinine (mg/dL) is used to measure kidney function. A normal result is 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women. Higher results indicate poorer kidney function, as creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys. This endpoint is ascertaining slow graft function in the immediate days post-transplant. A participant was considered to have met this endpoint if their day 5 serum creatinine was greater than 3 mg/dL. Day 5 post-transplantation
Secondary Creatinine Reduction Ratio (CRR), Defined as the First Creatinine on Day 2 Divided by he First Creatinine After Surgery Serum creatinine (mg/dL) is used to measure kidney function. A normal result is 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women. Higher results indicate poorer kidney function, as creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys. CRR was calculated as the day 1 post-transplant creatinine value minus the day 2 creatinine value divided by the day 1 creatinine value and multiplied by 100, resulting in a percentage. Higher numbers indicate a greater reduction in serum creatinine and, thus, potentially better kidney function. Day 2 post-transplantation
Secondary Creatinine Reduction Ratio (CRR), Defined as the First Creatinine on Day 5 Divided by the First Creatinine After Surgery. Serum creatinine (mg/dL) is used to measure kidney function. A normal result is 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women. Higher results indicate poorer kidney function, as creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys. CRR was calculated as the day 1 post-transplant creatinine value minus the day 5 creatinine value divided by the day 1 creatinine value and multiplied by 100, resulting in a percentage. Higher numbers indicate a greater reduction in serum creatinine and, thus, potentially better kidney function. Day 5 post-transplantation
Secondary The Percent of Participants Whose Day 5 Serum CRR Was Less Than 70%. Serum creatinine (mg/dL) is used to measure kidney function. A normal result is 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women. Higher results indicate poorer kidney function, as creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys. CRR was calculated as the day 1 post-transplant creatinine value minus the day 5 creatinine value divided by the day 1 creatinine value and multiplied by 100, resulting in a percentage. Higher numbers indicate a greater reduction in serum creatinine and, thus, potentially better kidney function. A participant was considered to have met this endpoint if their day 5 serum CRR was less than 70%. Day 5 post-transplantation
Secondary The Percent of Participants Whose Day 2 Serum CRR Was Less Than 30%. Serum creatinine (mg/dL) is used to measure kidney function. A normal result is 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6 to 1.1 mg/dL for women. Higher results indicate poorer kidney function, as creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys. CRR was calculated as the day 1 post-transplant creatinine value minus the day 2 creatinine value divided by the day 1 creatinine value and multiplied by 100, resulting in a percentage. Higher numbers indicate a greater reduction in serum creatinine and, thus, potentially better kidney function. A participant was considered to have met this endpoint if their day 2 serum CRR was less than 30%. Day 2 post-transplantation
Secondary The Percent of Participants Who Need Dialysis After Week 1. Participants who needed dialysis after the first week post-transplant were considered to have met this endpoint. 1 week to 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary Percent of Participants With de Novo DSA. Donor specific antibody (DSA) can be formed post-transplant as part of the recipient's alloimmune response to the transplanted organ. DSA was determined by a central laboratory. Participants with newly developed DSA (i.e., de novo) following transplant were considered to have met this endpoint. 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary Percent of Participants With Any Infection Requiring Hospitalization or Resulting in Death. Participants were considered to have met this endpoint if they had an infection that required hospitalization or resulted in death. 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary Percent of Participants With Mycobacterial or Fungal Infections Participants were considered to have met this endpoint if they had at least one mycobacterial of fungal infection. 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary Percent of Participants With CMV Viremia That Require a Change in Immunosuppression or Anti-viral Treatment as Per Standard of Care at the Site Participants were considered to have met this endpoint if they had a reported case of CMV viremia that required a change in their existing immunosuppression or the use of anti-viral therapy. 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary Percent of Participants With BK Viremia That Require a Change in Immunosuppression or Anti-viral Treatment as Per Standard of Care at the Site. Participants were considered to have met this endpoint if they had a reported case of BK viremia that required a change in their existing immunosuppression or the use of anti-viral therapy. 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary Percent of Participants With Malignancy. Participants were considered to have met this endpoint if they had a reported case of malignancy. 24 months post-transplantation
Secondary Percent of Participants With Impaired Wound Healing Manifested by Wound Dehiscence, Wound Infection, or Hernia at the Site of the Transplant Incision Participants were considered to have met this endpoint if they had a reported case of impaired wound healing at the site of the transplant incision manifested by one wound dehiscence, wound infection, or hernia. 24 months post-transplantation
