E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

The primary efficacy variable of this trial is the renal function at Visit 7/Month 12 after randomization as assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on recalculated values according to the Nankivell formula.

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

at 12 month

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

The following secondary efficacy variables will be analyzed in an explorative manner for the full analysis set:
•Key secondary objective is to assess the incidence of treatment failure (combinded endpoint of BPAR, graft loss or death).
Additional secondary objectives are:
•To assess the incidence of individual components of the combined efficacy endpoint, that is BPAR, graft loss and death at Month 12 post-transplantation.
•To assess renal function by cGFR according to the CKD-EPI, Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD methods, respectively.
•To assess the incidence and duration of Delayed Graft Function.
•To assess the incidence of Slow Graft Funtion.
•To assess safety and tolerability during the study, especially the incidence and severity of viral infections (CMV, BKV), the incidence of wound healing complications, and the incidence of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH).
•To assess incidence of HLA- and non-HLA-Antibody at BL and Month 12 post transplantation
