Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Co-primary endpoint 1 (safety) is defined as incidence of GVHD, impaired graft function [eGFR <35mL/min/1.73m2] or patient death, whichever occurs first, within 12 months post-transplant.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), impaired graft function defined as eGFR <35 mL/min/1.73 m2, or patient death, measured as occurrence within 12 months post-transplant."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- To demonstrate that the study protocol allows the initiation of a step-wise reduction of immunosuppression up to a point when patients receive drug monotherapy.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"As stated; measurement approach not specified in source."}
