Comparison of Immunosuppression on Progression of Arteriosclerosis in Renal Transplantation (NOCTX-2)

August 4, 2017 updated by: B.C. van Jaarsveld, MD PhD, Dianet Dialysis Centers

Randomised Comparison of Two Different Immunosuppressive Regimens on Progression of Arteriosclerosis in Renal Transplant Patients.

To compare in a prospective randomised way the effect of two different immunosuppressive regimens - mTOR-based regimen or CNI-based regimen - on the progression of coronary artery calcification in renal transplant patients measured at baseline, 1, 2, and 3 years after transplantation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
change in coronary artery calcification score
Time Frame: 3 years

Comparison in a randomised way the effect of a calcineurin-based immunosuppressive regimen with an mTOR-based regimen on progression of coronary calcification on renal transplant patients.

The results of this study will provide more insight in protection against cardiovascular disease in renal transplant patients.
