Summary

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most frequent opportunistic viral infection after transplantation. It is associated with an increased incidence of acute rejection and lower graft and patient survivals. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that an immunosuppressive regimen associating everolimus and reduced dose of cyclosporine A can prevent acute rejection episodes as efficiently as standard regimen but also efficiently reduce the incidence of CMV infection at 6 months post-transplantation.

Conditions

  • Transplantation Infection
  • Cytomegalovirus Infection

Interventions

DRUG

Everolimus

Everolimus : 0.75 bid, targeted to 3-8 ng/ml Cyclosporin A : CsA target ranges for Arm 1 will be 100-200 ng/mL from Day 3 to Month 2, decreasing to 75-150 ng/mL from Month 2 to Month 4 and 25-50 ng/mL from Months 6 to 12. Corticosteroids : Méthylprednisolone: 500 mg at Day 0, 120 mg à Day 1. Prednisone or equivalent: 20 mg/d from Day 3. Corticosteroid dosing will be tapered according to center standard practice but to not less than 5 mg per day for the duration of the 12-month study Basiliximab :Day 0: 20 mg ; Day 4: 20 mg

DRUG

mycophenolic acid

Mycophenolic acid : 1080 mg bid for one month, then 720 mg bid Cyclosporin A : CsA target ranges for Arm 1 will be 100-200 ng/mL from Day 3 to Month 2, decreasing to 75-150 ng/mL from Month 2 to Month 4 and 25-50 ng/mL from Months 6 to 12. Corticosteroids : Méthylprednisolone: 500 mg at Day 0, 120 mg à Day 1. Prednisone or equivalent: 20 mg/d from Day 3. Corticosteroid dosing will be tapered according to center standard practice but to not less than 5 mg per day for the duration of the 12-month study Basiliximab :Day 0: 20 mg ; Day 4: 20 mg
