Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Introduction of everolimus with reduced cyclosporine or tacrolimus dose, the earliest 1 month and the latest 6 months after liver transplantation.

Experimental: Everolimus based regimen - Conversion at Baseline from an immunosuppressive regimen which contains either cyclosporine (CsA) or tacrolimus (TAC) with or without mycophenolic acid (MPA), with or without corticosteroids in a regimen which contains everolimus combined reduced dose of either cyclosporine (CsA) or tacrolimus (TAC).

The dosing schedule was twice daily, 12 hours apart.


Treatment: Drugs: Introduction of everolimus with reduced cyclosporine or tacrolimus dose, the earliest 1 month and the latest 6 months after liver transplantation.
Immunosuppression after liver transplantation. Pediatric transplant recipients received a starting dose of 0.8 mg/m\^2/dose in combination wit Cyclosporine A or 2.0 mg/m\^2/dose in combination with tacrolimus, twice-daily. Thereafter, doses were adjusted to achieve everolimus C-0h blood trough level between 3 to 8 ng/ml.
