Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Recurrent or de novo arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) defined as the occurrence of non-fatal or fatal arteriosclerotic outcomes including coronary heart, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease events [ Time Frame: Through July 31, 2011 (censored 3-months post graft failure) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Renal graft failure [ Time Frame: Through July 31, 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Mortality (All-cause) [ Time Frame: Through July 31, 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Individual components of the composite primary endpoint [ Time Frame: Through July 31, 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Number of endpoint events that occur [ Time Frame: Through July 31, 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Relevant combinations of the components of the composite primary endpoint [ Time Frame: Through July 31, 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Creatinine-based estimates of renal function [ Time Frame: Through July 31, 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment: 4110
Study Start Date: May 2002
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: High Dose
Multivitamin with increased folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12
 Dietary Supplement: FAVORIT "high dose" multivitamin
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl): 50 mg Folic acid: 5.0 mg Vitamin B12: 1.0 mg Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HNO3): 1.5 mg Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): 1.5 mg Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): 60 mg d-Biotin: 300 mcg Niacinamide: 20 mg Pantothenic Acid Calcium Pantothenate): 10 mg
Placebo Comparator: Low Dose
Multivitamin devoid of folic acid and with EAR amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin B12
 Dietary Supplement: FAVORIT "low dose" multivitamin
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl): 1.4 mg Folic acid: 0.0 mg Vitamin B12: 2.0 mcg Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HNO3): 1.5 mg Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): 1.5 mg Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): 60 mg d-Biotin: 300 mcg Niacinamide: 20 mg Pantothenic Acid Calcium Pantothenate): 10 mg

Detailed Description:

The hypothesis of the trial is as follows: Treatment with a high dose combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 will reduce the rate of pooled arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease outcomes (i.e., pooled occurrence of non-fatal and fatal arteriosclerotic outcomes, including coronary heart, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease events) relative to treatment with an identical multivitamin containing no folic acid, and Estimated Average Requirement amounts of vitamin B6, vitamin B12, among chronic, stable renal transplant recipients
