BACKGROUND: Immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients with decreased graft function and histological vascular changes can be particularly challenging. The impact of a late rescue conversion to belatacept on kidney graft survival in this context has never been studied. METHODS: We report a bicentric retrospective cohort study comparing a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) to belatacept switch versus CNI continuation in 139 kidney transplant recipients with histological kidney vascular damage (cv ≥2, g + cpt ≤1, i + t ≤1) and low estimated glomerular filtration rate (≤40 mL/min/1.73 m²). Primary outcome was death-censored graft survival. RESULTS: During the study follow-up, 10 graft losses (14.5%) occurred in the belatacept group (n = 69) versus 26 (37.1%) in the matched CNI group (n = 70) (P = .005). Death-censored graft survival was significantly higher in the belatacept group (P = .001). At 3 years, graft survival was 84.0% in the belatacept group compared with 65.1% in the control group. Continuing CNI was an independent risk factor for graft loss [hazard ratio (HR) 3.46; P < .005]. The incidence of cellular rejection after the conversion was low (4.3% in both groups) and not significantly different between groups (P = .84). Patients switched to belatacept developed significantly less donor-specific antibodies de novo. Belatacept was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of opportunistic infections (HR 4.84; P < .005). CONCLUSION: The replacement of CNI with belatacept in patients with decreased allograft function and vascular lesions is associated with an improvement in graft survival and represents a valuable option in a context of organ shortage. Caution should be exercised regarding the increased risk of opportunistic infection.
