ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryGlomular Filtration Rate (GFR) mL/Min Via Nankivell Method at Month 12 - Standard Regimen vs Certican RegimensOne year post transplant
To demonstrate non-inferiority in renal function assessed by glomerular filtration rate (Nankivell formula) in at least one of the Certican® treatment regimens compared to the standard regimen group at month 12 post-transplantation in renal transplant patients. Nankivell formula: GFR = 6.7/Scr + BW/4 - Surea/2 - 100/(height)² + C where Scr is the serum creatinine concentration expressed in mmol/L, BW the body weight in kg, Surea the serum urea in mmol/L, height in m, and the constant C is 35 for male and 25 for female patients. The eGFR is expressed in mL/min per 1.73m². If a patient was on dialysis at the time of urea or creatinine assessment, the eGFR was set to 0. Analysis set = per protocol set
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Composite Treatment Failure Endpoints - Difference Between Groups at Month 12Month 12 post transplant
Combined endpoint included: biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) defined as a rejection which was acute and proven by biopsy, graft loss (GL) defined as: allograft was presumed to be lost on the day the patient starts dialysis and not able to be removed from dialysis or death. Patients who prematurely discontinued the study: if the patient did not suffer from an event before discontinuation and reason was not related to efficacy, the patient was assessed as having had no event, otherwise the patient was assessed as having had an event. Full analysis set (FAS)
SecondaryGlomular Filtration Rate (GFR) Via Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Method at Month 12 Post TransplantMonth 12 post transplant
Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) method = GFR=141 x min(Scr/κ, 1)α x max(Scr/κ, 1)1.209 x 0.993Age x 1.018 \[if female\] x 1.159 \[if black\] where Scr is serum creatinine, κ is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, α is 0.329 for females and 0.411 for males, min indicates the minimum of Scr/κ or 1, and max indicates the maximum of Scr/κ or 1. last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for imputation of missing values, ANCOVA model
SecondaryGlomular Filtration Rate (GFR) mL/Min Via Cockcroft- Gault Method at Month 12 Post TransplantMonth 12 post transplant
Cockcroft-Gault formula: For men: GFR= ((140-age) × body weight in kg)∕(72 x serum creatinine in mg∕dl)For women: GFR= (0.85×(140-age) × body weight in kg)∕(72 x serum creatinine in mg/dl), ), last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for imputation of missing values, ANCOVA model
SecondaryGlomular Filtration Rate (GFR) Via Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Method at Month 12 Post TransplantMonth 12 post transplant
Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) = For men: GFR = 170 x (serum creatinine -0,999) x (age-0,176) x (urea nitrogen -0,17) x (albumin0,318) For women: GFR = 170 x (serum creatinine -0,999) x (age-0,176) x (urea nitrogen -0,17) x albumin0,318) x 0.762 with urea nitrogen = urea / 2.144. last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for imputation of missing values, ANCOVA model
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Treatment Failure Endpoints at Month 12Month 12 post transplant
Treatment failure endpoints: biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) defined as a rejection which was acute and proven by biopsy, graft loss (GL) defined as: allograft was presumed to be lost on the day the patient starts dialysis and not able to be removed from dialysis or death. Patients who prematurely discontinued the study: if the patient did not suffer from an event before discontinuation and reason was not related to efficacy, the patient was assessed as having had no event, otherwise the patient was assessed as having had an event. Full analysis set (FAS)
SecondaryPercent of Participants With Delayed Graft Function and Slow Graft FunctionPost transplant to month 12
Delayed graft function (DGF) was defined as the need for dialysis within the first 7 days post-transplantation, excluding the first post-transplantation day. Slow graft function (SGF) was defined as a serum creatinine \>3.0 mg/dL at Day 5 post-transplantation. Full analysis set
SecondaryPercent of Participants With Delayed Graft Function by DayPost transplant up to day 7Delayed graft function (DGF) was defined as the need for dialysis within the first 7 days post-transplantation, excluding the first post-transplantation day.
SecondaryPercent of Participants With Viral InfectionsPost transplant to month 12Viral infections for BKV Virus Humane Polyomavirus 1 and Cytomegalovirus
SecondaryPercent of Participants With Wound Healing Complications During StudyPost transplant until individual reportingInformation collected to report wound healing process which included percentage of participants with complications, fluid collections detected and occurrence of lymphoceles
