NCT07033858
Brief Summary:
Cornerstone immunosuppressive therapy currently relies on immediate-release tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) that is potentially nephrotoxic and is more diabetogenic than cyclosporine A. A new formulation of tacrolimus has been launched: an extended-release formulation (Advagraf®/Astagraf XL®, Astellas company).
Detailed Description:
This study wants to assess the efficacy of an extended-release formulation of tacrolimus (Advagraf®/Astagraf XL®) used in conjunction with an mTOR-inhibitor agent (sirolimus ) instead of MMF to evaluate the hypothesis that this regimen is associated with good allograft outcome, and might also prevent late-onset cytomegalovirus infection. Advagraf®-based immunosuppression given to de novo kidney-transplant recipients may also increase patients' adherence to treatment due to once-daily usage of the drug.
