Brief Summary

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

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of CellCept, combined with low or standard dose tacrolimus plus corticosteroids, in patients with kidney transplants. Patients will be randomized into one of 2 groups to receive either 1)CellCept 2.0g/day po bid + tacrolimus 10-12ng/mL followed by a maintenance dose of 8-10ng/mL + corticosteroids or 2)CellCept 2.0g/day po bid + tacrolimus 8-10ng/mL in the first 2 months,3-7ng/mL in month 3 followed by a maintenance dose of 3-5ng/mL + corticosteroids. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

MMF, Standard Dose Tacrolimus

Participants received mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 0.75 to (-) 1 gram (g), orally (PO), twice daily (BID) from Day 0 through Month 12. Participants also received tacrolimus 0.1-0.15 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), PO, BID to reach a target trough dose of 8-10 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) from Day 0 through Month 3; the dose was adjusted to reach a target trough level of 7-10 ng/mL in Month 3 and continued through Month 12. Participants also received corticosteroids per center practice.
