Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Everolimus in de Novo Renal Transplant Recipients Participating in the Eurotransplant Senior Program

Phase 4
Terminated
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.

Control groupBasiliximabDuring 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.

Upon randomization, participants in this group continued with a CNI-based regimen of MPA and CsA.
Control groupCorticosteroidsDuring 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 groupEnteric 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.
