| NCT01843348 | 12 Month Athena Study: Everolimus vs. Standard Regimen in de Novo Kidney Transplant Patients | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 612 | — | — | Dec 27, 2012 | Mar 23, 2016 | May 1, 2017 | 27 | France, Germany |
To demonstrate non-inferiority in renal function assessed by glomerular filtration rate (Nankivell formula) in at least one of the Certican® treatment regimens compared to the standard regimen group at month 12 post-transplantation in renal transplant patients. Nankivell formula: GFR = 6.7/Scr + BW/4 - Surea/2 - 100/(height)² + C where Scr is the serum creatinine concentration expressed in mmol/L, BW the body weight in kg, Surea the serum urea in mmol/L, height in m, and the constant C is 35 for male and 25 for female patients. The eGFR is expressed in mL/min per 1.73m². If a patient was on dialysis at the time of urea or creatinine assessment, the eGFR was set to 0. Analysis set = per protocol set
