Brief Summary
- 1.To determine and compare the efficacy of Tacrolimus/Rapa versus Tacrolimus/MMF-based immunosuppression (in conjunction with initial short-term steroids and polyclonal antibody administration) in Type 1-diabetic patients undergoing simultaneous pancreas/kidney allograft transplantation.
- 2.To evaluate the safety of Tacrolimus/Rapa versus Tacrolimus/MMF in terms of drug-related complications and overimmunosuppression-associated complications, particularly under monitoring of the pharmacokinetic profile of all drugs administered.

- Male or female patients, of 18 to 55 years of age, with end-stage, C-peptide-negative, Type 1-diabetic nephropathy.
- Female patients of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test and must agree to maintain effective birth control practice throughout the study period (3 years).
- Patient must have signed the Patient Informed Consent Form.
- Patient must receive a primary simultaneous pancreas/kidney (SPK) cadaveric transplant, with either intestinal or bladder and either portal or systemic venous drainages.
You may not qualify if:
- Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Patient is allergic or intolerant to Mycophenolate Mofetil, Sirolimus, Tacrolimus or other macrolides, or any compounds structurally related to these compounds.
- Patient has a positive T-cell crossmatch on the most recent serum specimen.
- Patient is known for active liver disease or has significant liver disease, defined by ASAT and ALAT serum levels greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal.
- Patient has malignancy or history of malignancy, with the exception of adequately treated localised squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma, without recurrence.
- Patient has been included in another clinical trial protocol for any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to randomisation.
- Patient has any form of substance abuse, psychiatric disorder or condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may invalidate communication.
