Brief Summary: Most high risk keratoplasties are currently performed under systemic immunosuppression Immunosuppressants are currently either Cyclosporine A or mycophenolate mofetile administered for around 6 months Due to potentially severe adverse effects new immunosuppressive exerting less side effects would be desirable Basiliximab is a monoclonal chimeric antibody targeted specifically against the Interleukin-2-Rezeptor from activated T-cells This agent is known to specifically inhibit T-cell proliferation upon intravenous application only twice following transplantation Basiliximab has already been demonstrated effective in kidney transplantation

This investigation is a prospective randomized clinical trial on orthotopic high-risk penetrating keratoplasty Basiliximab is evaluated against systemic Cyclosporine A Primary endpoint is graft rejection Secondary endpoint is clear graft survival
