Résumé
One hundred ninety-seven patients received anti-T-lymphocyte globulins Fresenius, mycophenolate mofetil and delayed cyclosporine, and were randomized to ≥6-month corticosteroids (+CS; n=99) or no CS (-CS; n=98). One- and five-year actual graft survival (censored for death) was 93.2% and 86.4% in the +CS group versus 94.9% and 89.8% in the -CS group (5-year follow-up, p=0.487). Freedom from clinical rejection was 86.9% and 81.8% versus 74.5% and 74.5% (p=0.144), respectively, at 1 and 5 years; 5-year freedom from biopsy-proven rejection was 88.9% versus 83.7% (p=0.227). More late first rejections occurred in the +CS group. Significantly lower 5-year graft survival in patients experiencing rejection was observed for +CS (55.6% vs. 92.0%; p=0.005) with 8/18 versus 2/25 graft losses. Renal function at 5 years was stable and comparable (median serum creatinine, 159 vs. 145 µmol/L; creatinine clearance, 53.5 vs. 56.6 mL/min). More +CS patients developed diabetes, dyslipidemia and malignancies. Rejections in -CS patients occurred early after transplantation and did not impair long-term renal function. In patients receiving CS, rejections occurred later and with a higher risk for subsequent graft failure. A similar and not inferior 5-year efficacy profile and a reduced morbidity were observed in CS-free patients compared to patients who received CS for at least 6 months.
