Trial Outcomes & Findings for Everolimus in de Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients (NCT NCT01410448)

NCT ID: NCT01410448

Last Updated: 2017-06-16

Results Overview

The percentage of participants without wound healing complications was assessed. Wound healing complications consisted of lymphorrhea, fluid collections, wound dehiscence, wound infections and incisional hernia. In the worst-case scenario, failure, i.e. at least one healing complication occurrence, was identified in one of the following cases: wound complication occurrence, missing information about wound complication occurrence, or study discontinuation due to any reason.

Participant Flow

This study included a 3 month treatment period followed by an observational follow-up period. Participants were treated as per local practice during follow-up and a follow-up evaluation was performed at 12 months.

Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the 2 treatment groups.

Measure
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.
Delayed Everolimus (DE)
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.

Measure
Immediate Everolimus (IE)
n=193 participants at risk
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.
Delayed Everolimus (DE)
n=190 participants at risk
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.
