Brief Summary

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

This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of CellCept (1.5-2g/day po), in combination with a standard care regimen of cyclosporine A (trough level 150-200ng/mL) and steroids, in patients receiving a heart transplant. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

MMF, CsA, Corticosteroids

Participants received mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 1.0 grams (g), orally (PO), twice daily (BID) from within 24 hours of transplantation through Week 24. Participants also received an initial loading dose of cyclosporine A (CsA) 4 to 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) within 48 hours of transplantation, adjusted thereafter to a blood trough concentration of 150 to 300 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) through Week 24. Participants also received corticosteroids as per the practice of each participating center.
