Reporting Groups
  Description
Everolimus + Reduced Dose of Cyclosporine An initial everolimus dose of 0.75mg orally twice daily (1.5mg/day) was administered 24-36 hours from reperfusion after transplantation and dose adjustments based on everolimus trough level (target trough level 3-8ng/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 20mg basiliximab 4 days post transplant or according to local practice. Corticosteroids were administered according to local practice.
Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) + Standard Dose of Cyclosporine Patients were treated with 1 gram twice a day (2grams/day) of Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and standard dose of cyclosporine for 12 months post renal transplant. Patients were treated with antibody induction therapy using 20 mg basiliximab two hours prior to transplant and 20mg basiliximab 4 days post transplant or according to local practice. Corticosteroids were administered according to local practice.
