In children 6-months after heart transplant, everolimus with low-dose tacrolimus was as effective as standard therapy in preventing major complications and showed potential benefits for kidney function and reduced cytomegalovirus infection.

ja.ma/4gyS1WK
JAMA study on children's heart transplants. Conclusion: Everolimus with low-dose tacrolimus appears safe. 211 patients randomized. MATE-3 score: Everolimus 0.9, Mycophenolate 1.3. MATE-6 score: Everolimus 2.0, Mycophenolate 2.4.
