简要总结
The investigators center has also analyzed data over the last 7 years from deceased donor (DD) and living donor (LD) kidney transplant recipients who were randomized into 3 immunosuppressive arms between 2000 and 2001. Thus the goal of the investigators study is to reduce the toxic effects of traditional immunosuppressive regimens involving high-dose calcineurin inhibitor agents by comparing low-dose TAC-MYF with low-dose TAC and de novo SRL regimens. In order to minimize exposure to TAC, the investigators center has previously shown favorable outcomes using combination Thymoglobulin and Zenapax (Daclizumab) for anti-lymphocyte induction in the investigator population of patients.
详细描述
A total of 150 randomized patients divided into 2 arms: 75 patients will be randomized to receive TAC-SRL, and 75 patients to receive TAC-MYF.

入选标准
- •Non-HLA identical living donor kidney transplant patients
排除标准
- •Patient has previously received or is receiving an organ transplant other than a kidney.
- •Patient is receiving an ABO incompatible donor kidney.
- •Recipient or donor is known seropositive for human immunodeficiency (HIV) or Hepatitis C virus, or Hepatitis B virus antigenemia.
- •Patient has a current malignancy or a history of malignancy (within the past 5 years), except non-metastatic basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been treated successfully, or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix that has been treated successfully.
- •Patients with significant liver disease, defined as having during the past 28 days continuously elevated AST (SGOT) and/or ALT (SGPT) levels greater than 3 times the upper value of the normal range at our center.
- •Patient has uncontrolled concomitant infections and/or severe diarrhea, vomiting, active upper gastro-intestinal tract malabsorption or an active peptic ulcer or any other unstable medical condition that could interfere with study objectives.
- •Patient is currently participating in another clinical trial of an investigational drug in the 30 days prior to transplant.
- •Patient will be receiving any immunosuppressive agent other than those prescribed in the study.
- •Patient is unable to take medications orally or via nasogastric tube by the morning of the second day following completion of the transplant procedure (i.e., skin closure).
- •Patient is receiving or may require Warfarin, Fluvastatin, or herbal supplements during the study.
- •Concurrent use of Astemizole, Pimozide, Cisapride, Terfenadine, or Ketoconazole.
- •Patient has a known hypersensitivity to Tacrolimus, Thymoglobulin®, IL-2 receptor inhibitor monoclonal antibodies, Rapamune, Myfortic®, or corticosteroids.
- •Patient is pregnant or lactating.
- •Patients with a screening/baseline (or within 96 hours of transplant) total white blood cell count <4000/mm3; platelet count <100,000/mm3; fasting triglycerides >400 mg/dl (>4.6 mmol/L); fasting total cholesterol >300 mg/dl (>7.8 mmol/L); fasting HDL-cholesterol <30 mg/dl; fasting LDL-cholesterol >200 mg/dl.
- •Patient is unlikely to comply with the visits scheduled in the protocol.
- •Patient has any form of substance abuse, psychiatric disorder or a condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may invalidate communication with the investigator.
- •If Tacrolimus cannot be instituted for longer than 5 days postoperatively.
