Efficacy and Safety of Everolimus in Combination With Cyclosporine Microemulsion Versus Everolimus in Combination With Enteric-coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS), in Adult Renal Transplant Patients in Maintenance.

February 28, 2017 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A Prospective Multicenter Open-label Randomized Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Everolimus in Combination With Cyclosporine Microemulsion Versus Everolimus Without Calcineurine Inhibitor in Combination With Enteric-coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS), in Adult Renal Transplant Patients in Maintenance.

Efficacy and safety of 2 groups of treatment: everolimus in association with cyclosporine microemulsion and steroids versus everolimus in association with Enteric-coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS) and steroids. The study population consists of patients having taken part in study CRAD001A2420 (NCT00154297) until the end (12 months) and having not prematurely discontinued the immunosuppressive regimen received in this study (everolimus + cyclosporine microemulsion + steroids).
