Résumé
BACKGROUND: To define the role of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors in kidney transplantation, we compared efficacy and safety of two immunosuppressive regimens-a calcineurin inhibitor-free regimen with depletive induction versus a calcineurin inhibitor-based regimen. METHODS: De novo renal allograft recipients were randomized before transplantation to receive sirolimus (SRL; n=71, group A) or tacrolimus (n=70, group B). All patients received mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids. In group A, patients received rabbit antithymocyte globulin induction. In group B, antithymocyte globulin therapy could be given in case of delayed graft function. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (Nankivell's formula) at month 12 was the primary endpoint. RESULTS: GFR showed no significant difference at month 12, with 56.1 in group A versus 58.4 mL/min/1.73 m in group B. In functioning grafts, renal function was significantly better in the SRL group, with higher GFR values at months 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 (P
