Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1.To compare long-term outcomes in low-risk kidney transplant recipients on tacrolimus monotherapy versus dual regimen with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (TAC vs TAC/MMF). a.Renal function and proteinuria. b.Patient survival. c.Rejection episodes. d.Infectious complications. e.Malignancy (Skin and Non-skin). ;Secondary Objective: 1.To investigate the incidence and course of donor-specific antibodies in low-risk kidney transplant recipients beyond one year after transplantation (TAC vs TAC/MMF comparison). 2.To investigate protective antibody responses after pneumococcal vaccination in patients using tacrolimus versus tacrolimus/ mycophenolate mofetil (TAC vs TAC/MMF comparison). ;Primary end point(s): 1.Long-term outcomes in low-risk kidney transplant recipients on tacrolimus monotherapy versus dual regimen with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (TAC vs TAC/MMF). a.Renal function and proteinuria. b.Patient survival. c.Rejection episodes. d.Infectious complications. e.Malignancy (Skin and Non-skin). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From inclusion 4 years after kidney transplantation till six years after kidney transplantation. | — |
