About this study
Official title: Effects of the Use of "de Novo" Everolimus for the Expression of Cytokines in Kidneys From Extended Criteria Donors and With Delayed Graft Function
This is an open, randomized, single-center study. The selected patients will be first divided into two major groups according to the type of organ to be transplanted: standard criteria donor (SCD) or extended criteria (ECD) kidney. Then, each group will be randomly allocated to one of the treatments: tacrolimus (TAC) or everolimus (EVL).
All patients received induction therapy with basiliximab (BXB) and maintenance with Mycophenolate Sodium (MYF) and prednisone (P). This study will evaluate as Primary objectives: To characterize the molecular profile of cytokines in kidneys obtained from deceased donors such as "standard" (SCD) and extended criteria (ECD) in biopsies taken before and after transplantation and to evaluate the effect of treatment with everolimus (EVL) in the expression of these molecules. And as Secondaries objectives: To correlate the pattern of cytokines with delayed graft function (DGF), cold ischemia time, episodes of acute rejection and patient and graft survival.
Read the detailed description
A total of 80 patients will participate in the study, being distributed into 4 groups of 20 individuals. In a pilot study to assess the interventional effect of the mmediate use of EVL on the cytokine profile of ECD and SCD kidneys, compared to conventional immunosuppressive therapy with TAC, no statistical power analysis could be performed a priori.
Definitions of Extended Criteria Donor and Delayed Graft Function (DGF) Deceased donors aged ≥ 60 years or aged between 50 and 59 years and with at least two of the following risk factors: history of systemic hypertension terminal creatinine levels > 1.5 mg/dL or death by a cerebrovascular accident.
DGF (delayed graft function) is defined as the need for dialysis in the first 7 days after transplantation.

What participants receive

| mycophenolate sodium | No intervention | SCD/ECD: BXB (2x20mg, D1 and D4) + TAC + MYF (1440mg/d)+ Prednisone |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Everolimus in people with Delayed Function of Renal Transplant, run by MARIO ABBUD FILHO at 3 sites in Brazil.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Mario Abbud, MD.PhD (551740099191, mabbud@terra.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Molecular profile of cytokines (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
