NCT01120028

Brief Summary

The 3C study is investigating whether reducing exposure to calcineurin inhibitors (by using more potent antibody induction treatment and/or an elective switch to sirolimus) can improve the function and survival of kidney transplants.

    6 months post-transplantation

  • Graft Function (at 18-months After Randomization to Maintenance Therapy)

    Estimated glomerular filtration rate (estimated using MDRD formula) at 18-months after maintenance therapy randomization to either Sirolimus or Tacrolimus.

    2 years post-transplantation

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

You may not qualify if:

  • recipients of multi-organ transplant
  • previous treatment with Campath-1H
  • active infection (including HIV, hepatitis B or C)
  • history of anaphylaxis to humanized monoclonal antibody
  • history of malignancy (except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer)
  • loss of kidney transplant within 6 months not due to technical reasons
  • medical history that might limit the individual's ability to take trial treatments for the duration of the study
