About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Open-label Follow-up Study on the Safety of Enteric-coated Mycophenolate Sodium in de Novo Renal Transplant Patients

Aim of study is to collect long term safety and tolerability data on enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium with regard to adverse events, serious adverse events, and patient and graft survival. After successful completion of study CERL080A301 study, patients who previously were on enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium or MMF were given opportunity to remain on enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium or convert from MMF to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium.

Being tested
Mycophenolate sodium (enteric coated)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mycophenolate sodium (enteric coated) in people with Renal Transplant, run by Novartis.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of biopsy proven acute rejection, graft loss, or death in the first six months of treatment.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Feb 2011.
