The present study investigated the safety of induction therapy with daclizumab (compared with no induction treatment), in adult renal transplant patients reported to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) database between January 1, 1998 and July 27, 2003. Patients who were discharged from the hospital on mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, or sirolimus were divided into two groups: induction treatment with daclizumab (n = 8203) and no induction treatment (n = 25,368). Patient survival, death due to infection and death due to malignancy were evaluated at 1 and 3 yr post-transplantation. Rejection and graft survival were also examined. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models were used to evaluate outcomes. No significant differences were found between patients treated with daclizumab compared with patients who received no induction therapy for death due to infection or malignancy at 1 and 3 yr post-transplantation. Patients treated with daclizumab (compared with no induction treatment) had statistically significantly better survival rates at 1 (96.9% vs. 96.2%, p = 0.003) and 3 yr (92.4% vs. 91.4%, p = 0.004) although absolute differences were minimal. This was confirmed in the multivariable Cox regression analysis for patient death at 1 (HR = 0.77, p < 0.001) and 3 yr (HR = 0.83, p = 0.001) post-transplantation. Patients treated with daclizumab compared to no induction had lower rejection rates at 1 (13.1% vs. 17.3%, p < 0.001) and 3 yr post-transplantation (16.7% vs. 21.3%, p < 0.001). Cox regression confirmed a decreased risk for rejection at 1 (HR = 0.74, p < 0.001) and 3 yr (HR = 0.75, p < 0.001). Treatment with daclizumab was associated with reduced risk for graft loss at 1 (HR = 0.82, p < 0.001) and 3 years (HR = 0.86, p < 0.001). In conclusion, daclizumab was associated with a significantly reduced risk for rejection and graft loss compared with no induction treatment, and improved patient survival. In addition, daclizumab was not associated with an increase in risk of death due to infection or malignancy, when compared with no induction therapy. These findings demonstrate the short and long-term safety and efficacy of daclizumab in patients transplanted between January 1998 and July 2003.
