Brief Summary

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

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of early corticosteroid withdrawal in paediatric renal transplant patients on growth expressed as change in height standard deviation score (SDS) from baseline to end of study as the primary endpoint. The expected advantages are reduced growth suppression, lower incidence of arterial hypertension and post transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and improved lipid metabolism, expressed by lower serum lipid values.
