Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Everolimus-Tacrolimus

    * Tacrolimus (Prograf®) started at 0,1 mg/kg/day since Day0, then adapted to C0 concentration (4-7 ng/ml), * Everolimus (Certican®) started within 24h after reperfusion, to be adapted to C0 concentration (3-8 ng/ml).

    Drug: Everolimus · Drug: Tacrolimus

  • Experimental
    Everolimus-Mycophenolate sodium

    * Everolimus (Certican®) started within 24h after reperfusion, to be adapted to C0 concentration (3-8 ng/ml), * Tacrolimus (Prograg®) started at 0,1 mg/kg/day from J0 then to be adapted to C0 concentration (4-7 ng/ml), then replacement by mycophenolate sodium (Myfortic®) at M3 (3 months visit) started at 1440 mg/day.
