Abstrakt: Background: Infliximab selectively targets recently activated effector cells and, as an induction agent, might enable the safe elimination of mycophenolate from maintenance immunosuppression in kidney transplantation.
Methods: This is a phase II international multicenter open-label single-arm confidence interval (CI)-based clinical trial of the BIO-DrIM EU consortium aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of rabbit antithymocyte globulin and infliximab induction in kidney transplantation. Sixty-seven primary kidney transplant recipients at low risk (panel-reactive antibodies <20%, no donor-specific antibodies [DSA]) received rabbit antithymocyte globulin (2 × 1.5 mg/kg, postoperative days 0 and 1) and infliximab (5 mg/kg, postoperative day 2), followed by mycophenolate-free tacrolimus-based immunosuppression for 12 mo. The primary endpoint was efficacy failure, defined as a composite of acute rejection, graft loss, or poor graft function (estimated glomerular filtration rate <40 mL/min) at 12 mo and was based on the endpoint of the comparator study. Additionally, a historical propensity-matched control cohort was established.
Results: Primary endpoint occurred in 22 of 67 patients (32.84%), with upper bound of an exact 1-sided 95% CI of 43.47%, which met the predefined criteria (efficacy failure of <40% and upper-bound 95% CI of <50%) and was similar in the historical matched cohort. By 12 mo, 79.1% of patients remained on the study protocol. Lower rates of BK replication (6% versus 22.4%; P  = 0.013) but higher rates of de novo DSAs (11.9% versus 1.5%; P  = 0.039) were observed in the study cohort.
Conclusions: A similar efficacy of the study immunosuppression regimen to the comparator study and the historical matched cohort was found. However, a higher de novo DSA emergence points to an increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection (NCT04114188).
