About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Cyclosporine Dose Reduction With Cyclosporine Elimination in De Novo Renal Allograft Recipients Receiving Rapamune.

Compare kidney function as measured by calculated creatinine clearance (using the method by Nankivell)1 at 12 months after transplantation in subjects receiving induction therapy with cyclosporine microemulsion (CsA) and Rapamune followed by CsA dose reduction (Group I) with subjects receiving induction therapy with CsA and Rapamune followed by CsA discontinuation (Group II).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Calculated creatinine clearance at 12 months post transplantation for patients on therapy.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Calculated creatinine clearance at 6 months Serum creatinine at 6 and 12 months post-transplantation. Graft survival at 6 and 12 months post-transplantation. Incidence of biopsy confirmed acute graft rejections at 6 and 12 months post transplantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CYCLOSPORINE in people with Kidney Failure and Graft vs Host Disease, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 13 sites in 2 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 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 8 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Brazil, Mexico. 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 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?

Calculated creatinine clearance at 12 months post transplantation for patients on therapy.. 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 8 Mar 2011.
