| NCT00267189 | RESCUE Study - Everolimus in Liver Transplantation Recipients With Renal Insufficiency | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 145 | — | — | Nov 1, 2005 | Nov 1, 2007 | Apr 13, 2011 | 2 | Germany, Switzerland |
The primary variable was renal function assessed by calculated creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault formula, and was assessed at all visits. CrCl\[mL/min\] = (140 - A) \* W / (72 \* C) \* R. Where A is age at sample date \[years\], W is body weight at specific visit \[kg\], C is the serum concentration of creatinine \[mg/dL\], R = 1 if the patient is male and = 0.85 if female.
