Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The primary outcome will be a composite endpoint, named “treatment failure”, defined by the occurrence of any of the following events during the first 6 months (2nd objective) or during the first 18 months (1st objective) after transplantation: • Patient death, • Graft loss, • Biopsy-proven acute rejection, with a rejection activity index score ≥4 according to the Banff criteria","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Composite endpoint 'treatment failure' defined as occurrence of any of: patient death; graft loss; biopsy-proven acute rejection with rejection activity index score ≥4 according to Banff criteria. Measured as incidence within first 6 months (for 2nd objective) and within first 18 months (for 1st objective) after transplantation."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Comparison, between patients on XR-tacrolimus and patients on LCP-tacrolimus, at M18 post-transplantation a. The proportion of deaths b. The proportion of graft losses c. The proportion of biopsy-proven acute rejection with an activity score ≥4\n- Comparison, between patients the four arms, at M6 andM18 post-transplantation, of: a. The proportion of deaths b. The proportion of graft losses c.
