Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of EC-MPS b.i.d, with Cyclosporine microemulsion and steroids in pediatric de novo renal transplant patients. Safety and doses variations are also evaluated.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Incidence of biopsy-proven-acute-rejection and treatment failure (defined by graft loss and/or biopsy-proven-acute-rejection and/or death and/or lost to follow-up and/or study discontinuation) within the 6 and 12 months post transplantation

Secondary Outcomes

  • Within the 6 and 12 months post transplantation
  • Incidence of acute rejection resistant to steroids
  • Incidence of graft loss and death
  • Renal function by creatinine and creatinine clearance (Schwartz formula)
  • Incidence of premature study drug discontinuation due to safety reason
  • Pharmacokinetic profile of Myfortic.
  • Frequency of adverse events, incidence of clinically notable laboratory abnormalities, and change on vital signs.
