Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy between treatment regimens by assessing the difference in renal function evaluated by measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) 12 months after renal transplantation (TX);Secondary Objective: • progression of CAN at 12 and 36 months • progression of renal function by mGFR at 36 months after renal TX • progression of renal function estimated by cGFR at each follow-up visit (slope of cGFR throughout the study) • efficacy (biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR), graft loss or death) by 12, 24 and 36 months • occurrence of treatment failures up to or at 12, 24 and 36 months • time to first diagnosed malignancy • development and magnitude of proteinuria • percentage of patients on and number of antihypertensive and lipid lowering drugs at randomization, 12, 24 and 36 months • lipid profile at 12, 24 and 36 months, at selected centers • safety and tolerability * the impact of treatment on health related quality of life. (QoL) ;Primary end point(s): assessing the difference in renal function evaluated by measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) 12 months after renal transplantation (TX)and at 36 months development of CAN rejection episodes proteinuria time to first diagnosed malignancy
