Study Comparing Cyclosporine Dose Reduction vs. Cyclosporine Elimination in Kidney Transplant Recipients Taking Sirolimus
Compare kidney function as measured by calculated creatinine clearance (using the method by Nankivell)1 at 12 months after transplantation in subjects receiving induction therapy with cyclosporine microemulsion (CsA) and Rapamune followed by CsA dose reduction (Group I) with subjects receiving induction therapy with CsA and Rapamune followed by CsA discontinuation (Group II)...
Brief Summary
Official Title: “A Randomized, Open-label Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Cyclosporine Dose Reduction With Cyclosporine Elimination in De Novo Renal Allograft Recipients Receiving Rapamune.”
