Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the delayed administration of everolimus could reduce the everolimus associated "anti-proliferative complications" (e.g. wound healing disorder) while maintaining efficacy, when compared to the immediate administration of everolimus in de novo renal transplant patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Immediate Everolimus

Patients received Everolimus starting within 48 hours of kidney transplant through to the end of the study, administered orally twice a day. Dose was adjusted in order to maintain a trough level between 3-8 ng/mL.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Everolimus (RAD001)

Intervention Type DRUG

Delayed Everolimus

Patients received Everolimus 4 weeks after kidney transplant until the end of the study, administered orally twice a day. The dose was adjusted in order to maintain a trough level between 3-8 ng/mL. Patients received mycophenolic acid until everolimus was initiated.
