Full title of the trial

A 24-month, multicenter, randomized, open label non inferiority study of efficay and safety comparing concentration- controlled Certican in two doses (1.5 and 3.0 mg/day starting doses) with reduced Neoral versus 1.44 Myfortic with standard dose Neoral in de-novo renal transplant recipients

Studio multicentrico, randomizzato, in aperto, della durata di 24 mesi, per valutare l efficacia e la sicurezza di due dosaggi di RAD001 (dosi iniziali di 1,5 mg/die e 3,0 mg/die, poi in base ai livelli ematici), in associazione a Neoral a dosaggio ridotto, in confronto a Myfortic 1,44 g/die in associazione a Neoral a dose convenzionale, in pazienti sottoposti a trapianto di rene de novo.

E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

Primary objective: To compare the composite efficacy failure rate (treated BPAR, graft loss, death, loss to follow-up) between de novo transplant patients treated with Certican and reduced Neoral dose and Myfortic with standard Neoral dose at 12 months.

Dimostrare che almeno uno dei regimi terapeutici con RAD001 non e` inferiore al regime terapeutico con Myfortic per l'endpoint primario composito di efficacia (rigetto acuto confermato da biopsia, perdita del trapianto, decesso o perdita al follow-up) a 12 mesi.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

Main secondary objectives Efficacy: To compare the incidence of graft loss, death or loss to follow up (composite) between Certican and Myfortic treatment arms at 12 months post-transplantation. Safety: To compare renal function (calculated GFR using the MDRD formula (Coresh et. al. 2003) between Certican treatment arms and the Myfortic treatment arm at 12 months post-transplantation. Population: The study population will consist of a representative group of male and female transplant recipients 18-70 years of age undergoing primary renal transplantation. Eight hundred and twenty-five patients are planned to be enrolled.

Confrontare l'incidenza complessiva di perdita del trapianto,decesso o perdita al follow-up nei due gruppi con RAD001 rispetto al Myfortic a 12 mesi.Dimostrare che la funzionalita` renale nei gruppi in trattamento con RAD001 a 12 mesi dal trapianto e` simile a quella del gruppo Myfortic.La funzionalita` renale sara` misurata con la velocita` di filtrazione glomerulare calcolata con la formula MDRD.

Principal inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria • Male or female renal recipients 18-70 years of age undergoing primary kidney transplantation, females not pregnant or lactating • Recipients of primary cadaveric, living unrelated or non HLA identical living related donor • Patients who have given written informed consent to participate in the study

Criteri di inclusione: • Pazienti di entrambi i sessi, di eta` compresa tra 18 e 70 anni che saranno sottoposti a trapianto di rene da donatore cadavere oppure donatore vivente non apparentato o non HLA-identico. • Consenso informato scritto. • L'organo trapiantato deve essere funzionante (produzione di urine e diminuzione dei valori di creatininemia entro 24 ore dal trapianto) al momento della randomizzazione. • Le donne in eta` fertile non devono essere in gravidanza o allattamento. Per gravidanza si intende il periodo che va dal momento del concepimento al termine della gestazione; tale condizione deve essere confermata da un test hCG positivo (> 5 mIU/ml).
