Overview
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the correlation between the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of CellCept in patients undergoing primary kidney transplantation, in order to assess the impact on clinical outcome and the risks of acute rejection. All patients will receive oral CellCept, 1g twice daily, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters will be measured at weeks 2, 4, 12 and 24. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.

Arms & Interventions
Mycophenolate Mofetil Monotherapy
Participants received an initial dose of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), 1 gram (g), orally (PO), twice per day (BID), within 5 days of transplant for 24 weeks. Participants also received concurrent antibody induction, cyclosporine, and corticosteroids as needed according to center's practice.
Intervention: mycophenolate mofetil

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Acute Rejection
Time Frame: Day 1, Weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, and 28
Diagnosis of acute rejection was suspected in any participant with an increase in serum creatinine greater than or equal to (≥) 25 percent (%). All suspected acute rejections were confirmed by biopsy. The start date of acute rejection was identified as the date of biopsy.
Time to Rejection
Time Frame: Day 1, Weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, and 28
The mean time, in days, from the date of enrollment to date of biopsy confirming acute rejection.
Percentage of Participants With Biopsy-Proven Acute Rejection (BPAR)
Time Frame: Day 1, Weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, and 28
BPAR was defined according to 1997 Banff Criteria as a biopsy Banff grade of IA, IB, IIA, IIB, or III. Grade IA was defined as significant interstitial infiltration with greater than (\>)25% of parenchyma affected, and foci of moderate tubulitis with \>4 mononuclear cells per tubular cross section or group of 10 tubular cells. Grade IB was defined as significant interstitial infiltration with \>25% parenchyma affected, and foci of severe tubulitis with \>10% mononuclear cells per tubular cross section or group of 10 tubular cells. Grade IIA was defined as mild to moderate intimal arteritis. Grade IIB was defined as severe intimal arteritis comprising \>25% of the luminal area. Grade III was defined as transmural arteritis and/or arterial fibrinoid changes and necrosis of medial smooth muscle cells.
