A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of ASKP1240 in de Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASKP1240, an anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody, for the prophylaxis of organ rejection after kidney transplantation. This study will compare the efficacy of basiliximab induction, ASKP1240, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and steroids \[calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) avoidance\] to the standard of care immunosuppressive regimen (basiliximab induction + tacrolimus + MMF + steroids). In addition, the study will compare the efficacy of basiliximab induction, ASKP1240, tacrolimus and steroids \[CNI minimization-MMF avoidance\] to the standard of care immunosuppressive regimen (basiliximab induction + tacrolimus + MMF + steroids).

Subjects will be followed for 6 months. Upon completion of the first 6 months of the study, subjects may participate in the Long Term Extension period of the study. Subjects will remain on their original treatment arm up to three years post-transplant (and / or Sponsor discontinues development or the subject no longer wishes to participate in the study).
