Phase I/II Study of FR104 First Administration In Patient With Renal Transplantation: FIRsT Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) of FR104 as well as its potential clinical effect on acute rejection prophylaxis and renal function in a de novo renal transplant population receiving an allograft from standard criteria donors.

  • Live viral or bacterial vaccines/treatment agents given from 3 months prior to FR104 administration (12 months for BCG vaccine)

Treatment and study plan

FR104

Drug

FR104 treatment administration at day 0, day 14 then every 28 days until month 12

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety of FR104 - Adverse Events with a focus on infectious complications. In particular

    Time frame: Until Month 12

    Type, severity (grades 3 and 4 adverse effects)., number and percent of Adverse Events with a focus on infectious complications. In particular, the following cumulative incidences will be calculated: Incidence of bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic infection, incidence of new malignancies, lymphopenia, anemia, leucopenia, cytopenia or biochemical disturbances related to the study drug.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Efficacy on Renal function

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    Calculated glomerular filtration rate (CKD EPI) at each visit.

  2. Efficacy on Biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR)

    Time frame: Month 12

    Acute cellular rejection seen on renal biopsy for cause up to Month 12 (per Banff criteria 2017)

  3. Efficacy on clinically-treated acute rejections

    Time frame: Month 12

    Graft acute rejection up to Month 12. Number of AE related to treatment. Incidence and grade of rejection proven on Biopsy analysed after M12.

  4. Efficacy on steroid-resistant episodes

    Time frame: Month 12

    Steroid resistant episodes up to Month 12. Corticoresistant rejection up to month 12 defined as non response at day 5-6 after steroid boluses.

  5. Efficacy on multiples rejection episodes

    Time frame: Month 12

    Rejection episodes up to Month 12. Number of rejection after M12. According to histology. Incidence of biopsy-proven rejection (by banff grade).

  6. Efficacy on chronic allograft nephropathy

    Time frame: Month 12

    Chronic allograft nephropathy seen on renal biopsy for cause up to Month 12

  7. Efficacy on graft survival

    Time frame: Month 12

    Renal dialysis or new kidney transplant up to Month 12

  8. Treatment failure time

    Time frame: Month 12

    Time to treatment failure up to M12 (Biopsy-proven acute rejection, Graft Loss or Death)

  9. Evaluate the first Biopsy-proven acute rejection time

    Time frame: Month 12

    Time to the first Biopsy-proven acute rejection

  10. Evaluate the appearance of Donor specific Antibodies

    Time frame: Month 12

    Appearance of Donor specific Antibodies
