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 was to evaluate whether delayed (i.e. 28 ± 4 days post-transplant) administration of everolimus after transplantation reduces the risk of wound healing complications in comparison with immediate administration in de novo renal transplant patients (proportion of patients without wound/surgical complications related to initial transplant surgery) between randomization and 3 months after transplantation.

Immediate Everolimus (IE)

Everolimus was started within 48 hours after graft reperfusion at a starting dose of 0.75 mg twice daily in combination with low-dose cyclosporine and steroids for 3 months.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Everolimus

Intervention Type DRUG

Everolimus was provided in blisters containing 0.25 and 0.75 mg tablets and was taken orally.

Cyclosporine

Delayed Everolimus

The standard dose of mycophenolate sodium was administered within 48 hours after graft reperfusion in combination with a full dose of cyclosporine and steroids. After28 +/- 4 days of treatment, mycophenolate sodium was discontinued and everolimus was introduced at a starting dose of 0.75 mg twice daily for 3 months.
