Title: A 12-month, Multi-center, Open-label, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy/Safety and Evolution of Renal Function of Everolimus in Co-exposure With Tacrolimus in de Novo Liver Transplant Recipients
Brief Summary: This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Everolimus in combination with tacrolimus versus a standard immunosuppressive regimen concerning kidney function in liver transplant recipients.


Options:
A: Inclusion criteria:

Male or female recipients of a full-size liver allograft, aged 18 to 65 years.

Exclusion criteria:

Patients with thrombocytopenia (platelets \<50,000/mm³), with an absolute neutrophil count of \<1,000/mm³ or leucopenia (leucocytes \<2000/mm³), with anemia with Hb \< 6g/dl at time of randomization

Patients with uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia (\>350mg/dL; \>9mmol/L) or hypertriglyceridemia (\>750 mg/dL; \>8.5 mmol/L) at time of randomization

History of malignancy of any organ system within the past 5 years whether or not there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases, other than non-metastatic basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or HCC
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and adhere to study regimen.
* Recipients who are 18-70 years of age of a primary liver transplant from a deceased donor.
* Recipients who have been initiated on an immunosuppressive regimen that contains corticosteroids and tacrolimus, 3-7 days post-transplantation.
* Confirmed recipient hepatitis C virus (HCV) status at Screening (either by antibody or by PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
* Allograft is functioning at an acceptable level by the time of randomization as defined by protocol specific laboratory values.
* Abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease estimated glomerular filtration rate (MDRD eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73m2. Results obtained within 5 days prior to randomization are acceptable, however, no sooner than Day 25 post-transplantation.
* Verification of at least 1 tacrolimus trough level of ≥ 8 ng/mL in the week prior to randomization. Investigators should make adjustments in tacrolimus dosing to continue to target trough levels above 8 ng/mL prior to randomization.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients who are recipients of multiple solid organ or islet cell tissue transplants, or have previously received an organ or tissue transplant. Patients who have a combined liver-kidney transplant.
* Recipients of a liver from a living donor, or of a split liver.
* History of malignancy of any organ system within the past 5 years whether or not there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases, other than non-metastatic basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) (see next criteria).
* Hepatocellular carcinoma that does not fulfill Milan criteria (1 nodule ≤ 5 cm, 2-3 nodules all \< 3 cm) at the time of transplantation as per explant histology of the recipient liver.
* Any use of antibody induction therapy.
* Patients with a known hypersensitivity to the drugs used on study or their class, or to any of the excipients.
* Patients who are recipients of ABO incompatible transplant grafts.
* Recipients of organs from donors who test positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen or HIV are excluded.
* Patients who have any surgical or medical condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, might significantly alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of study drug.
* Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP).
* Patients with any history of coagulopathy or medical condition requiring long-term anticoagulation which would preclude liver biopsy after transplantation. (Low dose aspirin treatment or interruption of chronic anticoagulant is allowed).

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18 years and older
2. Histologically proven HCC before randomisation
3. Signed, written informed consent

2. Known hypersensitivity to sirolimus or its derivatives.
3. Hyperlipidemia refractory to optimal medical management. (cholesterol \>300 mg/dL; triglycerides \>350 mg/dL).\*
4. Evidence of significant local or systemic infection.
5. Known HIV-positive patients.\*
6. Platelets \<75,000/cubic mm.\*
7. Women of child-bearing potential not willing to take contraception.
8. Patients with non-HCC malignancies within the past 5 years,excluding successfully treated squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
9. Extrahepatic HCC tumor manifestation
10. Patients with a psychologic, familial, sociologic or geographic condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
11. Patients under guardianship (e.g. individuals who are not able to freely give their informed consent).
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age \> 18 years
* Recipient of a primary liver graft

* Chronic hepatic encephalopathy
* Living donor liver transplantation
* Recipient with human immunodeficiency virus infection
* Severe pretransplant leukopenia, defined as \< 1500 leukocytes/mL
