Belatacept, a selective T-cell costimulation blocker, was introduced as a promising change from the nephrotoxic and metabolic side effects of calcineurin (CNI) based maintenance immunosuppression. Seven-year follow up of the belatacept-based immunosuppression regimens versus cyclosporine in renal transplant recipients (BENEFIT study) trial showed superior patient and graft survival along with higher mean estimated glomerular filtration rate with the use of belatacept as compared to cyclosporine.
