Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - everolimus
Treatment: Drugs - mycophenolate mofetil
Treatment: Drugs - cyclosporine
Treatment: Drugs - corticosteroids

Experimental: everolimus 1.5 mg - Within 72 hours after transplantation participants received 0.75 mg everolimus tablets twice a day 12 hours apart for a total 1.5 mg daily dose in combination with reduced cyclosporine and standard dose corticosteroids for 24 months. The everolimus dose could be adjusted to maintain a target everolimus trough level of 3-8 ng/mL.

Experimental: everolimus 3.0 mg - Within 72 hours after transplantation participants received 1.5 mg everolimus tablets twice a day 12 hours apart for a total 3.0 mg daily dose in combination with reduced cyclosporine and standard dose corticosteroids for 24 months. The everolimus dose could be adjusted to maintain a target everolimus trough level of 6-12 ng/mL.

Randomization of new patients in this arm was prematurely stopped as of 27 March 2008 due to high mortality rate, as per Data Monitoring Committee.

Active comparator: mycophenolate mofetil - Within 72 hours after transplantation participants received 3 tablets 500 mg mycophenolate mofetil twice a day 12 hours apart for a total daily dose of 3000 mg in combination with a standard cyclosporine dose and standard dose corticosteroids for 24 months.


Treatment: Drugs: everolimus
Everolimus supplied as 0.75 mg tablets. Everolimus was also supplied in 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg tablets for dose adjustments.

Treatment: Drugs: mycophenolate mofetil
Mycophenolate mofetil supplied as 500 mg tablets.

Treatment: Drugs: cyclosporine
Cyclosporine reduced dose in the everolimus arms (approximately half of the standard dose) and standard dose in the mycophenolate mofetil arm.

Treatment: Drugs: corticosteroids
Corticosteroids standard dose.
