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.
