Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - cyclosporine or tacrolimus
Treatment: Drugs - sirolimus
Active comparator: 1 - Group 1: Continuation of CNI regimen
Experimental: 2 - Group 2: (CNI-Free) Conversion to SRL-based regimen
Treatment: Drugs: cyclosporine or tacrolimus
Cyclosporine and tacrolimus are provided by the sites and dosed to achieve a target trough level determined by the investigator; therefore, form, dosage, and frequency are site and patient specific. Duration should be 52 weeks on-therapy.
Treatment: Drugs: sirolimus
Oral (1 and 2 mg) tablets, dosing should be once daily to achieve a target trough level of 7- 15 ng/mL. Duration should be 52 weeks on-therapy.

Change From Baseline in Calculated Creatinine Clearance (Cockcroft-Gault Equation) at 52 Weeks Post-randomization
Query!
Assessment method [1]
0
0
Creatinine Clearance (CC) calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation, adjusted for body surface area. Calculated CC: method to approximate kidney function. It measures rate creatinine (substance formed from metabolism of creatine) is cleared from blood by kidneys. Normal adult creatinine clearance is greater than or equal to (=) 90 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared (mL/min/1.73m\^2). Change from baseline=CC at Week 52 minus CC at baseline where higher scores represented improved renal function; Least squares mean adjusted for baseline calculated creatinine clearance and center.

Serum creatinine is an indicator of kidney function. Creatinine is a substance formed from the metabolism of creatine, commonly found in blood, urine, and muscle tissue. It is removed from the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Normal adult blood levels of creatinine=45 to 90 micromoles per liter (mcmol/L) for females, 60 to 110 mcmol/L for males, however normal values are age-dependent. Change from baseline=creatinine level at Week x minus baseline level where higher scores represented decreased kidney function. Least squares mean adjusted for treatment group and center.

Based on International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation \[ISHLT\] 1990 criteria: rejections Grade 3A or higher, rejection accompanied by hemodynamic compromise or requiring treatment. Grade 3A or higher included: multifocal aggressive infiltrates and/or myocyte damage, diffuse inflammatory process with necrosis, diffuse aggressive polymorphus with necrosis, increased infiltrates, and changes in edema, hemorrhage, or vasculitis. Biopsies performed for clinically suspected rejection (for cause), site's standard of care (site protocol biopsy), or protocol mandated.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether converting from calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) therapy to sirolimus therapy will be more effective than continuing calcineurin inhibitor therapy with respect to renal function in cardiac transplant recipients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction.
