简要总结
The 12 Month Core Study (CRAD001A1202) was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety comparing concentration-controlled everolimus (1.5 mg/day starting dose) with reduced dose cyclosporine and corticosteroids versus 2 g/day mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with standard dose cyclosporine and corticosteroids in de novo renal transplant recipients.
Extension Study (CRAD001A1202E1): Until 24 months after renal transplantation, the study was designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy comparing concentration-controlled everolimus with reduced dose cyclosporine (Neoral®) and corticosteroids versus mycophenolate mofetil with standard dose Neoral® and corticosteroids in de novo renal transplant recipients. Beyond 24 months after renal transplantation, the study was designed to provide everolimus treatment for patients in everolimus group until everolimus is approved and marketed in Japan.

研究组 & 干预措施
Everolimus + Reduced dose of cyclosporine
An initial everolimus dose of 0.75 mg orally twice daily (1.5 mg/day) was administered 24-36 hours from reperfusion after transplantation and dose adjustments based on everolimus trough level (target trough level 3-8 ng/mL). Reduced dose of cyclosporine was initiated either pre-transplantation or within 24 hours after transplantation following the local regimen. Patients were treated with antibody induction therapy using 20 mg basiliximab two hours prior to transplant and 20 mg basiliximab 4 days post transplant or according to local practice. Corticosteroids were administered according to local practice. Patients were treated for 12 months in the core study and 12 months in the extension study. Everolimus was available after 24 months for compassionate use.

结局指标
主要结局
Core Study: Number of Patients With Composite Efficacy Endpoint
时间窗: 12 months
The composite efficacy endpoint consisted of treated biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) episodes, graft loss, death or loss to follow-up. A treated BPAR was defined as a biopsy graded IA, IB, IIA, IIB, or III and which was treated with anti-rejection therapy. The allograft was presumed to be lost on the day the patient starts dialysis and was not able to stop dialysis. If the patient underwent a graft nephrectomy, then the day of nephrectomy was considered as the day of graft loss. For the individual components (including loss of follow-up)of the composite endpoint, patients are counted for the first event to occur.
Extension Study: Renal Function Measured by Calculated Glomerular Filtration Rate (cGFR) Using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Formula
时间窗: Month 48
Renal function was assessed by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the MDRD formula: GFR \[mL/min/1.73m2\] = 186.3\*(C-1.154)\*(A-0.203)\*G\*R C is the serum concentration of creatinine \[mg/dL\] A is age \[years\] G = 0.742 when gender is female, otherwise G=1 R = 1.21 when race is black, otherwise R=1
