Multi-center, Open-label, Prospective, Randomized, Parallel Group Study Investigating a CNI-free Regimen With Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS) and Everolimus in Comparison to Standard Therapy With Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS) and Cyclosporine Microemulsion in de Novo Renal Transplant Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Everolimus, Cyclosporine, and 2 other interventions for Renal Transplantation. Completed, enrolled 300 participants across 3 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-free regimen with enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) and everolimus is as safe and well-tolerated as the standard regimen containing enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) and cyclosporine microemulsion, but results in better renal function.

Timeline
Interventions
Everolimus tablets orally twice a day to maintain a level of 6- 10 ng/mL.
Tablets orally twice a day to maintain protocol specific target blood levels
Enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium orally twice a day to achieve a target dose of 1440 mg/day.
Corticosteroids were added to the immunosuppressive regimen with a minimum dose of 5mg prednisolone or equivalent and had to be continued throughout the first year.
