Early graft dysfunction after heart transplant

The main objective is to observe a significant improvement in DFG (clearance calculated according to the CKD EPI formula) of 20 ml/min between M3 and M12 post TC, in cardiac transplant patients at risk of CKD, treated with 9 monthly infusions of belatacept associated with a progressive decrease in calcineurin inhibitor…

Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Efficacy

The main objective is to observe a significant improvement in DFG (clearance calculated according to the CKD EPI formula) of 20 ml/min between M3 and M12 post TC, in cardiac transplant patients at risk of CKD, treated with 9 monthly infusions of belatacept associated with a progressive decrease in calcineurin inhibitors.

Secondary objectives 4

  1. Demonstrate that if there is a risk of rejection (> grade 2) it is less than 30% during the first year of the heart transplant as found in the literature (non-inferiority criterion)
  2. Quantify the percentage of patients developing NODAT (New Onset Diabetes After Transplantation) at M3 and M12 post-TC (Estimate)
  3. Evaluate the mortality specific to M12 post TC (Estimate).
  4. Evaluate the use of renal replacement therapy between M3 and M12 post-TC.
