Intervento / Trattamento |
---|---|
Sperimentale: Group A -Once-a-day regimen
Everolimus: in patients randomized to Group A before Amendment 1 approval, from the day following randomization, the whole daily dose of everolimus was taken in the morning, at the same time of the CsA and steroid dosing. At the Rand+1W visit, the everolimus dose was adjusted to reach and maintain everolimus blood levels between 5 and 8 ng/mL until end of Month 12. Cyclosporine: in patients randomized to Group A before Amendment 1 approval, from the day following randomization, the whole cyclosporine daily dose was taken in the morning. The dose was then adjusted to maintain C2 levels between 350 and 700 ng/mL. Prednisone: In patients randomized to Group A before Amendment 1 approval, the dose of prednisone was kept stable at 5 mg/day in the morning. |
Everolimus (Certican®) was provided in blisters containing tablets of 0.25 mg and 0.75 mg.
Everolimus was initiated within 48 hours after graft reperfusion and it was administered orally.
Altri nomi:
Cyclosporine for microemulsion (CsA, Sandimmun® Neoral®) was coadministered with everolimus at the same time of the day.
CsA was available in alu-alu blisters containing soft gelatine capsules of 100 mg, 50 mg, 25 mg and 10 mg.
Oral solution, as bottles containing 50 mL of solution (100 mg/mL) has been provided and used in case the drug had been administered to patients by nasogastric tube immediately after transplant.
Altri nomi:
continuous steroids

Sperimentale: Group B - Steroid Withdrawal group
Everolimus: after randomization the everolimus dose was adjusted, if necessary, to maintain a C0 within 6-10 ng/mL until M12. Cyclosporine:after randomization the cyclosporine dose was adjusted to maintain CsA C2 levels within 300-500 ng/mL until M12. Prednisone: starting from Visit 5 (day 90 ± 28 days), oral prednisone was tapered until complete stop. It was recommended to taper prednisone by 1 mg/week until complete stop in 5 to 6 weeks. |
Everolimus (Certican®) was provided in blisters containing tablets of 0.25 mg and 0.75 mg.

Cyclosporine: after randomization the cyclosporine dose was gradually adjusted to reach and maintain C2 blood levels of 200-450 ng/mL between Month 6 and Month 12. Prednisone: the dose of prednisone was kept stable at 5 mg/day in the morning. |

Changes in the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Between Randomization (Month 3) and Month 12
Lasso di tempo: Month 3 to Month 12
|
eGFR by Nankivell, in terms of descriptive statistics and change vs randomization visit - to compare the changes in the estimated GFR (Nankivell) between randomization and Month 12 in the steroid withdrawal group (Group B) to the change observed in the standard twice-a-day group (Group C), for non-inferiority

Biopsy Proven Acute Rejection (BPAR) Rate Between Randomization and Month 12
Lasso di tempo: Month 3 to Month 12
|
Occurrence of BPAR (after randomization) between arm B (steroid withdrawal group) and arm c (standard twice-a-day group). BPAR was defined as a biopsy graded IA, IB, IIA, IIB, or III according to Banff 1997 grading with 2007 update. |
Month 3 to Month 12

Number of Participants With Graft and Patient Survival After Randomization
Lasso di tempo: Month 3 to Month 12
|
Graft Survival, calculated from the date of transplantation to the date of irreversible graft failure signified by return to long-term retransplantation or the date of the last follow-up during the period when the transplant was still functioning or to the date of death. Patient survival, calculated from the date of transplantation to the date of death or the date of the last follow-up. |
Month 3 to Month 12
|
Change in Estimated Creatine Clearance
Lasso di tempo: M3, M12
|
At each visit, estimated creatinine clearance was measured in the local laboratory to analyze the evolution of the renal function.
The following indirect measures of renal function were computed: estimated creatinine clearance according to Cockcroft and Gault formula and MDRD formula.
|
M3, M12
|
Change in Serum Creatinine
Lasso di tempo: M3, M12
|
Serum creatinine (a blood measurement) is an important indicator of renal health because it is an easily-measured by-product of muscle metabolism.
Measuring serum creatinine is a simple test and it is the most commonly used indicator of renal function.
