What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of NODM or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in de novo kidney transplant patients receiving cyclosporine microemulsion versus in patients receiving tacrolimus within the first 6 months post-transplantation.

  2. Incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) or graft loss or death within the first 6 months post-transplantation.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. incidence of NODM or IFG within the first 3 mths post-transplantation in pts treated with cyclosporine microemulsion or tacrolimus

  2. percentage of pts with preexisting diabetes at transplantation who have a glycosylated hemoglobin level >7% at Mths 3 &6 post-transplantation

  3. Change over time of mean HbA1c at mths 3 &6 post-transplantation in pts w/ preexisting diabetes at transplantation

  4. percentage of pts who switched from oral hypoglycemic agents to insulin within 3 &6 mths post-transplantation

  5. incidence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) as assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Blood pressure at Months 3& 6 post-transplantation

  7. incidence of BPAR or graft loss or death within the first 3 months post-transplantation, as well as the incidence of each individual event within 3 and 6 months post-transplantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cyclosporine microemulsion and Tacrolimus in people with Kidney 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 3 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 18 Nov 2016. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 NODM or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in de novo kidney transplant patients receiving cyclosporine microemulsion versus in patients receiving tacrolimus within the first 6 months post-transplantation.. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00171496, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Nov 2016.
