Abstract

TRANSFORM (TRANSplant eFficacy and safety Outcomes with an eveRolimus-based regiMen) was a 24-month, prospective, open-label trial in 2037 de novo renal transplant recipients randomized (1:1) within 24 hours of transplantation to receive everolimus (EVR) with reduced-exposure calcineurin inhibitor (EVR + rCNI) or mycophenolate with standard-exposure CNI. Consistent with previously reported 12-month findings, noninferiority of the EVR + rCNI regimen for the primary endpoint of treated biopsy-proven acute rejection (tBPAR) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <50 mL/min per 1.73 m2 was achieved at month 24 (47.9% vs 43.7%; difference = 4.2%; 95% confidence interval = −0.3, 8.7; P =.006). Mean eGFR was stable up to month 24 (52.6 vs 54.9 mL/min per 1.73 m2) in both arms. The incidence of de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) was lower in the EVR + rCNI arm (12.3% vs 17.6%) among on-treatment patients. Although discontinuation rates due to adverse events were higher with EVR + rCNI (27.2% vs 15.0%), rates of cytomegalovirus (2.8% vs 13.5%) and BK virus (5.8% vs 10.3%) infections were lower. Cytomegalovirus infection rates were significantly lower with EVR + rCNI even in the D+/R− high-risk group (P <.0001). In conclusion, the EVR + rCNI regimen offers comparable efficacy and graft function with low tBPAR and dnDSA rates and significantly lower incidence of viral infections relative to standard-of-care up to 24 months. Clinicaltrials.gov number: NCT01950819.
