Concentration Controlled Versus Fixed Dose of MMF in Kidney Transplant Recipients

A Phase 4 study testing Mycophenolate Mofetil in people with Kidney Transplant Recipients, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 11 sites in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Acumulating data suggest that thrapeutic drug therapeutic may optimize efficacity and tolerance of MMF. It could guarantee better exposure to the drug in the first 3 months and then minimize side effects in the long term. However definitive proof is still lacking. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: APOMYGRE : Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study of MMF Therapeutic Follow-up's Interest in the the 12 First Months in Kidney Transplantation

Acumulating data suggest that thrapeutic drug therapeutic may optimize efficacity and tolerance of MMF. It could guarantee better exposure to the drug in the first 3 months and then minimize side effects in the long term. However definitive proof is still lacking. We conducted a randomized study in 11 french centers and included 137 kidney transplant recipients (PRA<50%) receiving a classical immunosuppressant regimen with basiliximab, Csa, MMF and steroids. The "fixed dose" group received 2 g of MMF a day. The "concentration controlled" group received MMF dose adapted to the area under the concentration curve (AUC) of MPA, with a target of 40 h.mg/L. After transplantation AUCs were calculated with a Bayesian estimator using a 3-point limited sampling strategy on day 7, 14, and months 1, 3, 6 , 12 in both groups (values note communicated to the physicians in the "fixed dose" group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Mycophenolate Mofetil in people with Kidney Transplant Recipients, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 11 sites in France.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

immunosuppressant treatment fealure (kidney rejection, adverse events, death, graft lost).. 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 16 Dec 2008.
