Summary

This study compares two drug combinations for children aged 13-20 who receive a kidney transplant. One group gets belatacept and sirolimus, the other gets standard drugs tacrolimus and MMF. The goal is to see which combo better prevents organ rejection and keeps the kidney working well. All participants will take lifelong anti-rejection medication.
