Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of Early Introduction of Everolimus, Reduced Calcineurin Inhibitors and Early Steroid Elimination Compared to Standard CNI, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Steroid Regimen in Paediatric Renal Transplant Recipients (NCT NCT01544491)

NCT ID: NCT01544491

Last Updated: 2019-05-31

Results Overview

To estimate the rate of the composite efficacy endpoint of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), graft loss or death at 12 months post transplantation in primary paediatric kidney transplant recipients converted at 4-6 weeks post-transplantation from MMF + standard TAC regimen and steroids, to everolimus + reduced dose TAC regimen and steroid withdrawal at 6 months, versus continuation of MMF + standard TAC regimen and steroids.

Population: safety set, 36 months analysis

Evaluation of the potential effects upon the bone growth. The Z-score is a statistical tool which helps to assess data (here child growth parameters) relative to a reference or standard population. The Z-score describes the distance and direction of an observation away from the population median (or mean, however, here the median was used). A negative Z-score shows that data are lower than the median of the standard population, a positive Z-score shows that data are higher than the median of the standard population, and a Z-score of zero shows that the data are equal to the median of the standard population. The more the Z-score is distant from 0, the more expressed is for example underweight or overweight.
