Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Everolimus in de Novo Renal Transplant Recipients Participating in the Eurotransplant Senior Program
- Conditions
- Renal Transplantation
- Interventions
- Drug: Enteric Coated Mycophenolic Acid (MPA)Drug: Corticosteroids
- Registration Number
- NCT00956293
- Lead Sponsor
- Novartis Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
This study wants to address whether a calcineurin-inhibitor (CNI)-free regimen six weeks after transplantation for Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP) patients is as safe and well tolerated as standard treatment but optimizing immunosuppressive therapy with benefits in renal function, new-onset diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular risk, cancer and allograft nephropathy.

Group Intervention Description Control group Basiliximab During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group continued with a CNI-based regimen of MPA and CsA. Control group Enteric Coated Mycophenolic Acid (MPA) During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group continued with a CNI-based regimen of MPA and CsA. Control group Corticosteroids During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group continued with a CNI-based regimen of MPA and CsA. Everolimus group Enteric Coated Mycophenolic Acid (MPA) During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group made a stepwise switch to a CNI-free regimen of everolimus and MPA. Everolimus group RAD001 During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group made a stepwise switch to a CNI-free regimen of everolimus and MPA. Everolimus group Corticosteroids During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group made a stepwise switch to a CNI-free regimen of everolimus and MPA. Everolimus group Cyclosporin A (CsA) During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group made a stepwise switch to a CNI-free regimen of everolimus and MPA. Control group Cyclosporin A (CsA) During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group continued with a CNI-based regimen of MPA and CsA. Everolimus group Basiliximab During the pre-randomized treatment phase, all participants received a CNI-based regimen consisting of basiliximab, mycophenolic acid (MPA), cyclosporin A (CsA) and corticosteroids (optional). Upon randomization, participants in this group made a stepwise switch to a CNI-free regimen of everolimus and MPA.
