Optimization of NULOJIX® (Belatacept) Usage as a Means of Avoiding CNI and Steroids in Renal Transplantation (CTOT-10)
The purpose of this study was to assess whether a new drug, Nulojix® (belatacept), would minimize serious long term side effects associated with anti-rejection medications while still protecting the new kidney from damage. The researchers also wanted to learn more about the safety of this treatment and long term health of the transplanted kidney.

Primary outcomes
- Mean Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Calculated for Each Treatment Group Using the CKD-EPI Equation at Wk 52 — Week 52
GFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI). A score of ≥ 90 means kidney function is normal. A score between 60 and 89 indicates mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease. Scores between 30 and 59 indicates moderately reduced kidney function. Scores between 15 and 29 indicate severely reduced kidney function. Scores below 15 indicate very severe or endstage kidney failure.
