SEM: Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Sirolimus Versus Everolimus Versus Mycophenolate in Kidney Transplantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study was designed to compare 3 immunosuppression regimens: sirolimus and tacrolimus versus everolimus and tacrolimus versus mycophenolate and tacrolimus.
The primary outcome is the incidence of cytomegalovirus infection / disease, a relevant medical need in the absence of pharmacological prophylaxis.
