The Efficacy of Everolimus in Reducing Total Native Kidney Volume in Polycystic Kidney Disease Transplanted Recipients

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Interventions
Drug: Calcineurin inhibitors maintenance
Registration Number
NCT02134899
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The investigators multicenter randomized open-labelled study will investigate the efficacy of an everolimus based immunosuppression in reducing total native kidney volume in kidney recipients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease compared to a calcineurin inhibitor-based immunosuppression.

Detailed Description

Kidney graft recipients receiving a firs kidney graft (between 6 months and 5 years post-transplantation) will be randomized 1:1 to receive an everolimus based immunosuppression (in association with steroids and mycophenolate mofetil) or to continue their calcineurin inhibitor-based immunosuppression regimen. The primary objective will be the reduction of total native kidney volume after a 2-years treatment period.
