note = "Background and objectives Immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation is associated with numerous toxicities. CD28-mediated T-cell costimulation blockade using belatacept may reduce long-term nephrotoxicity, compared with calcineurin inhibitor-based immunosuppression. The efficacy and safety of simultaneous calcineurin inhibitor avoidance and rapid steroid withdrawal were tested in a randomized, prospective, multicenter study.",
