Summary

Primary Objective:

* Evaluation of the benefit on renal function of one year of a low dose of ciclosporine versus the usual dose

Secondary Objective:

* To evaluate the immunosuppressive efficacy and tolerance of the treatment

Study Duration:

Twelve months for each patient

Study Treatment: Ciclosporine

Group A: low dose \>= 130 µg/l \< T0 ciclosporinemia \< 200 µg/l; Group B: standard dose \>= 200 µg/l \< T0 ciclosporinemia \< 300 µg/l.

Study Visits:

One visit every 15 days, for the first three months; then 1 visit every month, for 6 months; and 1 visit at 9 and 12 months.

Associated Treatments:

* Mycophenolate (Cellcept®), 3g a day
* Corticoids, as used for transplanted patients

Randomization: Randomization will occur when it is decided that ciclosporine will be introduced.
