Brief Summary: The main purpose of this study is to investigate whether a steroid free immunosuppressive treatment is a valuable alternative in the treatment of de novo kidney transplant recipients and if it is possible to withdraw calcineurin inhibitors after 3 months
Detailed Description: Protocol synopsis Title An open single centre pilot study to investigate a steroid free immunosuppressive regimen for de novo renal transplant recipients followed by a two arm randomization to a calcineurin inhibitor containing and a calcineurin inhibitor free maintenance immunosuppression after three months Study code Sterfree pilot study Project phase An open single centre one arm study followed by a 11 randomized parallel group comparative study after three months Study objectives To obtain preliminary information on the efficacy and safety of a rapamycin sodium-mycophenolate Myfortic tacrolimus regimen in the absence of steroids for the prevention of acute rejection following renal transplantation To compare a low dose tacrolimus rapamycin sodium-mycophenolate Myfortic regimen to a rapamycin sodium-mycophenolate regimen in patients without evidence of acute rejection after three months
