Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Early Versus Delayed Administration of Everolimus in de Novo Renal Transplant Patients (NCT NCT00154297)

NCT ID: NCT00154297

Last Updated: 2011-04-04

Results Overview

"In Failure", is at least one of these events occurred within the first 3 months: delayed graft function(DGF), (need for dialysis within the first 7 days,minus day one,post-transplantation); Biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR), Graft loss, (allograft was presumed lost on the day the patient started and not removable from dialysis). Death; Loss to follow-up; Wound healing disorder(Any wound related to the kidney transplantation being opened beyond 3 weeks, or infected, or drained fluid or herniated was considered not healed).

Measure
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.
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.
