Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the number of randomized participants in each treatment group who experience an acute rejection episode in the first 6 months after undergoing cardiac transplantation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Women of childbearing potential must use two reliable forms of contraception simultaneously. Effective contraception must be used before beginning study drug therapy, and for 4 months following discontinuation of study drug therapy
  • Participants and/or their guardians must be willing and be capable of understanding risks and comply with the purpose of the study

Exclusion Criteria

  • Previous organ transplants
  • Participants receiving multiple organs
  • Participants requiring ventricular assist device (VAD) upon completion of transplantation surgery
  • Women lactating, pregnant or of childbearing potential not using, or who are unwilling to use two reliable forms of contraception simultaneously during the study
  • History of a psychological illness or condition which would interfere with the participant's ability to understand the requirements of the study
  • White blood count =<2500/mm^3, platelets =<50,000/mm^3 or hemoglobin =<6 g/dL
  • HIV-1, the presence of positive HBsAg, or chronic active hepatitis C
  • Active peptic ulcer disease
  • Severe diarrhea or other gastrointestinal disorders which might interfere with their ability to absorb oral medication
  • Malignancies within the past 5 years, excluding skin carcinoma that have been adequately treated
  • Participants who have received within the past 30 days or require concomitant treatment with other investigational drugs or immunosuppressive medications that are prohibited for this study
  • Inability to start microemulsion form of cyclosporine within 72 hours
