Treatment and study plan

cyclosporine

Drug

Arm 1= Rapamune+ low dose Cyclosporine+steroids "Arm 2= 1° day rapamune 15 mg/die + steroids 2°-7° day Rapamune 5mg/die + steroids In both arms, Cylcoporine is stopped "

Steroids

Drug

Arm 1= Rapamune+ low dose Cyclosporine+steroids "Arm 2= 1° day rapamune 15 mg/die + steroids 2°-7° day Rapamune 5mg/die + steroids In both arms, Cylcoporine is stopped "

Rapamune (Sirolimus)

Drug

Arm 1= Rapamune+ low dose Cyclosporine+steroids "Arm 2= 1° day rapamune 15 mg/die + steroids 2°-7° day Rapamune 5mg/die + steroids In both arms, Cylcoporine is stopped "

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of an immunosuppressive regimen using synergic action of SRL and CsA, but which will limit (ab initio), the nephrotic effect of such combination. To compare Rapamune/low dose Cyclosporine vs. Rapamune/Steroids.

    Time frame: 6 months
