Interventions
Everolimus was initiated at Week 4 post transplantation. The dose was adjusted to maintain the everolimus trough blood levels between 3-8 ng/mL for the duration of the study. Tacrolimus was reduced to 3-5 ng/mL.
Tacrolimus was initiated as soon as possible after transplantation according to approved labeling recommendations. The trough level should've been 5-15 ng/mL until randomization, 8-12 ng/mL from randomization until month 4 and after month 4 until end of study reduced to 6 -10 ng/mL.
