Study Comparing Sirolimus/Prograf vs Sirolimus/CsA in High-Risk Renal Transplant Recipients

An Open-Label, Concentration-Controlled, Randomized, 12-Month Study of Prograf + Rapamune + Corticosteroids Compared to Cyclosporine,USP (Modified) + Rapamune + Corticosteroids in High Risk Renal Allograft Recipients

The purpose of this study is to assess whether in high-risk kidney transplant patients (patients whose previous kidney transplant failed, have a high PRA lab test result or are of African-American descent) that a combination of Rapamune with Prograf and steroids will prevent acute rejection as well as Rapamune and cyclosporine and steroids.
