Comparative effectiveness and safety of belatacept among kidney transplant recipients

Belatacept is a drug that helps kidney transplant recipients by preventing the body from rejecting the new organ. We want to compare how well belatacept works compared to the commonly used drug tacrolimus. To do this, we plan to study people who got kidney transplants in the United States from 2011 to 2020. By using two large databases, the United States Renal Data System, and the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we aim to understand how belatacept is used in real life. We are also interested in comparing how effective and safe is belatacept compared with tacrolimus after one year of administration. We will look at outcomes like how long the transplanted kidney will work, how long will the kidney transplant recipients live, how well your kidneys will work, the risk of organ rejection, and certain side effects to happen after transplant like blood cancer.
