Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of different doses of cyclosporine given concomitantly with a fixed dose of sirolimus in kidney transplant recipients. Cyclosporine blood levels, graft rejection rates and renal function will be assessed.
Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- A dose response model using the average cyclosporine blood levels correlated to graft rejection rates and renal function will be used to compare efficacy and safety of different doses of cyclosporine. []
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Safety evaluations will include physical exams, vital signs, CBC with differential, platelet count, blood chemistries, fasting lipid profiles, BUN or urea, serum creatinine, adverse event monitoring and calculated creatinine clearance. []
