In this 12-month, multicenter, randomized, open-label, noninferiority study, de novo renal transplant recipients (RTxRs) were randomized (1:1) to receive everolimus plus low-dose tacrolimus (EVR+LTac) or mycophenolate mofetil plus standard-dose Tac (MMF+STac) with induction therapy (basiliximab or rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin). Noninferiority of composite efficacy failure rate (treated biopsy-proven acute rejection [tBPAR]/graft...
