Background. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major complication after renal transplantation and is involved in graft rejection. The anti-interleukin-2-receptor antibody daclizumab reduces the incidence of acute rejection without increasing the incidence of CMV infection.Methods. This multicentre, randomized trial compared safety and efficacy, at 1 year, of two doses of daclizumab (54 patients, group D) with thymoglobulin (55 patients, group T) plus delayed cyclosporine (CsA), MMF (mycophenolate mofetil) and steroids in first cadaver kidney transplant patients. Primary criterion was CMV infection/syndrome/disease. D+/R- patients received oral ganciclovir prophylaxis for 90 days.Results. Status for CMV was identical in the both groups. The incidence of CMV infection/syndrome/disease was 39% in group D versus 51% in group T (NS). Time to onset of CMV replication was delayed in group D (P = 0.015) and mean number of pp65-positive cells was lower at 4 and 6 months (P < 0.001). Incidence of symptomatic CMV episodes was not reduced in whole group D (5.6% versus 16.4%, NS), but lower in D+/R+ and D-/R+ patients without chemoprophylaxis, compared to group T (2.8% versus 21.6%, P = 0.028). Patient and graft survivals and incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection were identical.Conclusions. Limited dosing regimen of daclizumab with MMF, steroids and delayed CsA introduction was safe and effective. The incidence of CMV infection was not significantly different, but without chemoprophylaxis, clinical manifestations and viral replication were reduced with this regimen.
