E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1. The primary endpoint for the study is delayed graft function (DGF) , defined as the as the number of dialysis sessions through Day 30 for subjects who started dialysis beginning in the first 7 days post-transplant.
a. Dialysis sessions will be counted through Day 30 post-transplant, or until a 7 day dialysis free period occurs, whichever occurs first. Individual hemo- or peritoneal dialysis sessions will be counted individually. Subjects who receive continuous peritoneal filtration will count as 3 sessions/week. Continuous hemofiltration will also be counted as 3 sessions/week.
b. A subject who does not have DGF (i.e., dialysis in the first 7 days post-transplant) will be classified as having 0 dialysis sessions.
c. Subjects who drop out on or before Day 7, regardless of the reason for dropout (e.g., experience primary non-function (PNF), graft loss, death or lost-to-follow up), will be considered to have failed the primary endpoint and will be assigned the maximum number of dialysis sessions from the day of dropout. Dialysis session is defined in the protocol. The maximum number of dialysis sessions will be the observed number of dialysis sessions (to the point of drop out or loss) plus 3 dialysis sessions per week from that point to Day 30. This reflects the typical practice of administration of 3 dialysis sessions per week inclusive of the actual number of dialysis sessions observed. PNF is defined for efficacy analysis as continuous requirement for dialysis starting in the first 7 days after transplant and lasting for at least 60 days post-transplant. |
