What the study is about
The purpose of this open-label, randomized, active-comparator-controlled study is to determine the efficacy and safety of frexalimab subcutaneous administrations up to 5 years compared to tacrolimus capsules in adults undergoing kidney transplantation. Participants aged 18 to 70 years who have low-to-moderate immunologic risk of graft rejection and receive their first kidney transplant are eligible if they meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria. Study details include:
- The study and treatment duration will be up to approximately 5 years.
- The number of visits will be approximately 38.
Being studied: Frexalimab; Frexalimab; Tacrolimus; rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin; mycophenolate mofetil; mycophenolate sodium; methylprednisolone; prednisone
Conditions: Kidney Transplant Rejection

- Positive T or B cell crossmatch, or positive virtual crossmatch per local practice at screening.
- Participants receiving a kidney graft from HLA-identical living-related donors, or have current or previous solid organ, cell, or multi-organ transplantation, or paired kidney transplantation.
- Participants whose primary causes of ESKD are idiopathic FSGS, C3 glomerulopathy, lupus nephritis, or thrombotic microangiopathy
- Evidence of active or latent TB, HIV, HBV or HCV infection.
- Participants who have known genetically predisposed thrombophilia, have history of thromboembolic events, or who need long-term anti-coagulation therapy.
- Participants who have severe medical co-morbidities, active infection, or severely limited life expectancy due to underlying medical conditions that are generally precluded from kidney transplant.
