researchquestion To compare the rejection rates, graft and patient survivals, and renal fonction after an early (3 months post graft) cyclosporine versus mycophenolate mofetil withdrawal, in de novo renal transplant patients receiving a triple drug regimen (cyclopsorine, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone)

totalrecruitment 106
inclusion 1) First renal transplantation from a deceased donor under a triple drug regimen (cyclosporine + mycophenolate mofetil + prednisone)
2) No acute rejection episode during the first 3 months post graft (time of randomisation)
3) Patients who gave their informed consent and are able to understand the scope of the study
exclusion 1) Living donneur, re-transplantation
2) Panel ractive antibodies > 30%
3) Serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dl (222 ?mol/l)
4) Cyclosporine toxicity at the time of randomisation (3 months post graft)
5) Patients with generalized infection at the time of transplantation
6) Women in child-bearing age who do not plan to use efficient contraception
7) Age of donor > 65
primaryoutcomes Incidence of biopsy-proven acute allograft rejection during the first post-transplant year
secondaryoutcomes 1) Graft function at 1 year.
2) Chronic Allograft Damage Index (CADI) at 1 year.
3) Incidence of adverse events in the two treatment arms at 1 year.
4) Proportion of patients who returned to a triple drug regimen at 1 year.
5) graft and patients survival at 1 year.
6) Pharmaco-economic comparison of the 2 arms.
