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
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).

Conditions
- Graft Rejection
- Kidney Transplantation
- Renal Transplantation
Interventions
- Belatacept
- Cyclosporine
- Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)
- Corticosteroids
Primary outcomes
- Number of Participants With an Episode of Clinically-suspected and Biopsy-proven Acute Rejection (CSPAR) — By Month 6 posttransplant (From Day 1 to Month 6)
No participant was to receive treatment for acute rejection without a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. CSPAR=Clinically-suspected rejection, defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥0.5 mg/dL compared with the baseline value in the absence of other factors known to adversely affect renal function, and biopsy-proven rejection, which includes all cases in which a biopsy was read by the central pathologist as demonstrating acute rejection regardless of the reason why the biopsy was performed.
