We prospectively studied the use of prophylactic Minnesota antilymphocyte globulin vs. OKT3 in kidney transplant recipients. Between 7/1/87 and 9/1/90, 138 adult kidney and 35 kidney-pancreas recipients were randomized after stratification for age (18–49 vs.≥ 50), diabetes (diabetic vs. nondiabetic), transplant number (1 vs.> 1) and, for retransplants, the length of survival of the first graft (< 1 year vs.≥ 1 year), and then randomized to receive 7 days of either MALG (20 mg/kg/day) or OKT3 (5 mg/day). Immunosuppression was otherwise identical in both groups; prednisone and azathioprine started on the day of surgery, and cyclosporine started on postoperative day 6. Minimum follow-up was 9 months. There was no difference in one-and two-year actuarial patient or graft survival rates, incidence of rejection, or serum creatinine level. MALG was associated with a higher incidence of cytomegalovirus; it was statistically significant in the subgroup of CMV seronegative recipients of kidneys from seropositive donors (P<. 05). OKT3 was more expensive and was associated with significantly more side effects: fever (P<. 0001), dyspnea (P=. 04), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)(P=. 02).
