Rapid Steroid Withdrawal after Renal Transplantation Reduces Mortality: Five Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial (Harmony Study) Confirms…

2021

Background: We previously reported excellent efficacy and improved safety aspects of rapid steroid withdrawal (RSWD) in the randomized controlled one year “Harmony” trial, in which 587 predominantly deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients were randomized either to basiliximab or rabbit ATG induction therapy and compared to standard immunosuppressive therapy consisting of basiliximab, low tacrolimus once daily, mycophenolate mofetil, and corticosteroids. Methods: Following the end of the original one-year study period, patients were asked to participate in the observational follow-up (FU) study examining most of the end points of the original study. Hereby, de novo incidences between yea…

Sirolimus Use in Liver Transplant Recipients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Phase 3 Trial

2016

International audience; BACKGROUND:We investigated whether sirolimus-based immunosuppression improves outcomes in liver transplantation (LTx) candidates with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODS:In a prospective-randomized open-label international trial, 525 LTx recipients with HCC initially receiving mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor-free immunosuppression were randomized 4 to 6 weeks after transplantation into a group on mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor-free immunosuppression (group A: 264 patients) or a group incorporating sirolimus (group B: 261). The primary endpoint was recurrence-free survival (RFS); intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was conducted after 8 years. Overal…
