Planned Conversion From TAC to SRL-based Regimen in de Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients

Summary

Background Early conversion from calcineurin inhibitor to mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor is one of the immunosuppressive strategies that have been investigated to mitigate long-term CNi associated adverse events. This study aims to evaluate the conversion from tacrolimus to sirolimus in de novo kidney transplant recipients. This multicenter, open-label study, planned to enroll 297 patients initially treated with tacrolimus, enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (1440 mg/day, orally) and prednisone. The primary objective is to show superior glomerular filtration rate in the SRL group at 24 months after transplantation.
