E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This is a three part study in de novo renal transplant patients
Primary Objectives:
Part 1: Assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of multiple IV and SC doses of CFZ533 in combination with MMF, CS, and Tac over the treatment and follow up period
Parts 2: Assess the potential for CFZ533 to act as the primary immunosuppressant in a CNI-free regimen with MMF as assessed by tBPAR at Month 3 post-transplantation
Part 3:
- Assess the potential for CFZ533 to act as the primary immunosuppressant in a CNI-free regimen with MMF as assessed by achieving non-inferiority for the composite efficacy failure endpoint (tBPAR, graft loss, death, or loss to follow up) at Month 6 post-transplantation
- Demonstrate superior renal function at Month 6 as assessed by mean eGFR using MDRD
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
This is a three part study in de novo renal transplant patients
Secondary Objectives
Parts 1,2,3:
•Quantify CD40 occupancy on B-cells (Parts 1,2,3) and changes in total sCD40 (Parts 1,2 ) and total sCD154 (Part 1) in peripheral blood
•Evaluate CFZ533 immunogenicity
Parts 2,3:
•Assess the safety and tolerability and PK of CFZ533 in combination with MMF and CS up to Month 3 for Part 2, and up to Month 6-12 in Part 3, against control
•Compare renal function in CFZ533 treatment arms to control at Month 3 for Part 2, and at Month 3, 6 and 12 for Part 3 as assessed by
-eGFR
-Proportion of pts with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 at Month 3 for Part 2 and at Month 3, 6 and 12 or EOS for Part 3
-Proportion of pts with negative eGFR slope at Month 3 for Part 2, and at Month 6 and 12 or EOS by comparison to eGFR measured at Month 3 for Part 3
Part 3:
•Assess the rate of tBPAR at Month 6 and 12
•Determine the concentration range of CFZ533 with the best benefit/risk profile

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Main Inclusion Criteria:

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Main Exclusion Criteria:
•Recipients of an organ from a nonheart beating donor.

• Any additional contraindication to the use of tacrolimus or mycophenolate mofetil according to the
national labeling information of these products (see local product label).
• other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply |
