Shift to Everolimus (RAD) Kidney Sparing Study
January 11, 2010 updated by: University of Bologna
Safety and Efficacy of Low-dose Cyclosporine in Association With Everolimus to Minimize Renal Dysfunction in Heart Transplant Recipients
The purpose of this study is to verify if the combination of Everolimus with a very low dose of cyclosporine is more effective than the combination of mycophenolate mofetil with low-dose of cyclosporine in reducing the progression of kidney dysfunction in patients with heart transplantation.
