Demonstrate superiority of CNI-Free vs Standard Regimen in GFR using the Nankivell formula (GFR = 6.7 / Scr + BW / 4 - Surea / 2-100 / (height)² + C where where Scr is the serum creatinine concentration expressed in mmol/L, BW the body weight in kilograms, Surea the serum urea in mmol/L, height in m, and the constant C is 35 for male and 25 for female patients. The calculated GFR is expressed in mL/min per 1.73m², last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for imputation of missing values, ANCOVA model, with treatment, center, donor type (deceased vs. living) as factors and BL2-value at V4/M3/BL2 as covariate. P-values are not adjusted
