Summary
The purpose of the study was to determine if rapid discontinuation of corticosteroids (also
known as prednisone withdrawal) and maintenance immunosuppression with Prograf (tacrolimus)
and CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) while using Thymoglobulin (Rabbit antithymocyte
globulin) will give similar safety and efficacy results compared to continuation of
corticosteroids (also known as prednisone maintenance) and standard maintenance
immunosuppression with Prograf (tacrolimus), CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) while using
Thymoglobulin (Rabbit antithymocyte globulin).
