简要总结
Safety and Efficacy of Everolimus in adult de novo liver transplant recipients.
详细描述
This prospective study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of Everolimus in the minimization and possible suspension of calcineurin inhibitors in adult liver transplant patients. The study will take into account a control group (standard immunosuppression with tacrolimus and steroids) after induction with anti-IL2 Antibodies.
