Detailed Description

AWAKE is a multicenter, prospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ravulizumab in reducing delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplant recipients at high risk for DGF. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ravulizumab or placebo intravenously.
