Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the effect of CT-1 on kidney function after transplant through the incidence of functional Delayed Graft Function (fDGF).;Secondary Objective: ?To assess the effect of CT-1 on kidney function after transplant through: -The DGF rate, defined as the need of dialysis during the first week after transplantation. -The glomerular filtration rate post-transplant. -Serum creatinine levels post-transplant. ?The incidence and severity of acute rejection within 30 days post-transplant. ?To assess kidney damage by measuring the levels of serum and urine biomarkers. ?To assess the economic impact of CT-1 on kidney transplant. through the days of hospitalization after transplant. ?To assess the safety of CT-1 in kidney transplant.;Primary end point(s): Incidence of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) measured as a failure of the serum creatinine to decrease by at least 10% daily on 3 consecutive days during the first week after transplant, irrespective of dialysis requirements, but discounting creatinine decrements because of dialysis itself.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 week after kidney transplant.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): ?DGF rate defined as the need of dialysis during the first week after transplantation. ?Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR*) at post-transplant at days 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 30 post-trasplant. *Calculated according to ?Modification of diet in renal disease equation for glomerular filtration rate (MDRD)? ?Number of dialysis sessions through Day 7, 14, and 30. ?Mean serum creatinine at Days 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 30. ?Incidence and severity of biopsy-proven acute rejection within 30 days. ?At days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14; there will be determined the levels of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (S-NGAL) and urine markers such as total protein, albumin, cystatin C, beta-2 microglobulin, kidney injury molecule (KIM-1), clusterin (CLU), trefoil factor 3 (TTF 3), NGAL (U-NGAL), Ganglioside M2 activator protein (GM2AP), regenerating islet-derived protein III beta (Reg IIIb) and gelsolin. Additional serum and urine markers could be determined according to the AKI state of the art. ?Days of hospitalization. ?The investigator will assess the safety based on AEs and the laboratory evaluation across the study.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days post-trasplant
