You may be eligible if
Patient greater than or equal to 18 years old.
Patient is classified as "high risk" for acute allograft rejection of DGF. Must have had at least 1 donor or 1 recipient variable for high risk.
Patient will be a recipient of a solitary cadaveric renal allograft.
Women of childbearing potential must have had a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine).
Man or woman agrees to practice medically acceptable contraception (i.e. barrier or pharmacologic) for a minimum of 3 months following study drug administration. In addition, women were recommended to practice contraception for 1 year following transplantation, or per local standard.
Patient agrees to participate in the study and sign an informed consent.
Patient has no known contraindication to the administration of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin or basiliximab. Patient has no history of hypersensitivity to basiliximab.
Patient is dialysis-dependent at the time immediately prior to transplantation.
You may not be if
Patient has received an investigational medication within the past 30 days.
Patient has a history of malignancy within 2 years, with the exception of adequately treated localized squamous basal cell carcinoma of the skin without evidence of recurrence.
Patient is currently abusing drugs or alcohol.
Patient is known or suspected to have an active infection or be seropositive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Patient is a multiple organ transplant recipient.
Patient is on any type of immunosuppression (i.e. prior transplant recipient still on immunosuppression, or patient is receiving systemic steroids for any medical condition).
Patient, who, in the opinion of the investigator, has significant medical or psychosocial problems or unstable disease states which would preclude enrollment. Examples of significant medical problems include, but are not limited to, morbid obesity or severe cardiac disease.
Kidneys that are to be implanted en bloc or from donors less than 6 years old.
Kidneys from donors that are known or suspected to have an active infection with or be seropositive for HBsAg, hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), HCV, or HIV.
Kidneys from donors that have received investigational therapies designed to reduce the impact of ischemia reperfusion, DGF, or other donor-related immune events.
Donor kidney is preserved by cold storage (with or without machine preservation) for less than 16 hours, with the exception of kidneys from non-heart-beating donors or kidneys from donors greater than 50 years old or donors with a SCr above 2.5mg/dL.
