What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection over the first 24 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Efficacy:Incidence of and time to first biopsy-proven acute rejection over the first 24 weeks and after 1 year

  2. Incidence of and time to first corticosteroid-resistant acute rejections over the first 24 weeks and after 1 year

  3. Incidence of and time to first acute rejection by signs and symptoms over the first 24 weeks and after 1 year

  4. Severity of biopsy-proven acute rejections (Banff criteria) over the first 24 weeks and after 1 year

  5. Frequency of treatment failure (as defined below) over the first 24 weeks and after 1 year

  6. Renal function as measured by serum creatinine concentrations and calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft formula) over the first 24 weeks and after 1 year

  7. Chronic allograft dysfunction assessed by chronic allograft damage index (CADI) after 24 weeks of transplantation.

  8. Safety first 24 weeks: Patient survival

  9. Graft survival

  10. Incidence of adverse events

  11. Routine safety laboratory parameters

  12. Haemoglobin values at weeks two to six

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FK778 in people with Kidney Transplantation and Renal Transplantation, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 37 sites in 12 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 17 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Italy and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 over the first 24 weeks.. 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 17 Apr 2008.
