Temporal trends and current use of de novo belatacept in kidney transplant recipients in the United States

Geeta Karadkhele et al.

Summary: The use of de novo belatacept-based immunosuppressive therapy in US adult kidney transplant recipients has increased over time, but adoption remains slow. Different centers have utilized various regimens to modulate the risk of acute cellular rejection. Further studies are needed to assess the long-term outcomes and safety of these regimens, especially regarding the risk of infection.

Belatacept in Kidney Transplantation: What Are the True Benefits? A Systematic Review

Yannis Lombardi et al.

Summary: The current gold standard for preventing allograft rejection in kidney transplantation is the use of glucocorticoids, an antiproliferative agent, and a calcineurin inhibitor. Belatacept, a fusion protein, shows potential benefits for kidney function, but conversion to belatacept may increase the risk of acute rejection and certain infectious diseases.

Costimulation blockade and Tregs in solid organ transplantation

Moritz Muckenhuber et al.

Summary: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in transplantation, and the use of pharmaceutical costimulation blockers may have an impact on these cells. This review provides an overview of the effects of costimulation therapy on Treg function.

Siplizumab Induces NK Cell Fratricide Through Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity

Christian Binder et al.

Summary: The study showed that siplizumab increased NK cell activation by binding to Fc gamma RIIIA, suggesting potential application in inhibiting NK cell activation. However, the inhibitory effects of CD2 blockade on natural cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity remain unclear.

Belatacept for Simultaneous Calcineurin Inhibitor and Chronic Corticosteroid Immunosuppression Avoidance: Two-Year Results of a Prospective, Randomized Multicenter Trial

Dixon B. Kaufman et al.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of kidney transplant patients receiving belatacept versus tacrolimus for maintenance immunosuppression with rapid steroid withdrawal over a period of 2 years. The results showed similar patient and graft survival rates between the groups, but a significantly lower incidence of eGFR <45 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) in the belatacept group and a significantly higher incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection.
