Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Written informed consent obtained.
- •Subject randomized within 24 hr of completion of transplant surgery.
- •Recipient of a kidney with a cold ischemia time \< 30 hours.
- •Recipient of a primary (or secondary, if first graft is not lost due to immunological reasons) renal transplant from a deceased heart beating, living unrelated, living related non-human leukocyte antigen identical or an expanded criteria donor.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Subject unable to tolerate oral medication at time of randomization.
- •Use of other investigational drugs at the time of enrollment.
- •History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemical classes.
- •Multi-organ transplant recipient.
- •Recipient of ABO incompatible allograft or complement-dependent lymphocytotoxic (CDC) crossmatch positive transplant.
- •Subject at high immunological risk for rejection as determined by local practice for assessment of anti-donor reactivity e.g. high PRA, presence of pre-existing DSA.
- •Subject who is HIV-positive.
- •HBsAg and/or a HCV positive subject with evidence of elevated LFTs (ALT/AST levels ≥ 2.5 times ULN). Viral serology results obtained within 6 months prior to randomization are acceptable.
- •Recipient of a kidney from a donor who tests positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV).
- •Subject with a BMI greater than
