About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study Assessing Fixed Dose vs. Concentration Controlled CellCept Regimens for Patients Following a Single Organ Renal Transplantation in Combination With Full Dose and Reduced Dose Calcineurin Inhibitors

This research is being done to study the effects (good and bad) of taking CellCept based on blood concentrations versus taking a fixed dose of CellCept without measuring the blood concentration. CellCept is one of the three immunosuppressant drugs (drugs that suppress the immune system) which will be taken as part of this kidney transplant study. Cyclosporine or tacrolimus and corticosteroids are the two other drugs which will be taken.

Read the detailed description

This study is an open label study, which means the participant will know which drugs they are on. Participants will be put in one of three groups within 24 hours of the participant's transplant. The participant will be asked to return throughout the 24 months for physical exams, blood and urine tests.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment failure defined as a biopsy proven acute rejection, graft loss, death, or lost to follow-up

    Measured: during the first 12 months following randomization

  2. Assessment of renal function

    Measured: 12 months post randomization

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The proportion of patients experiencing biopsy proven acute rejections

  2. The total number of biopsy proven, acute rejection episodes, per patient

  3. The proportion of patients treated for acute rejection

  4. The time to the first proven acute rejection

  5. The time to the treatment failure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CellCept in people with Kidney Transplantation and Delayed Graft Function, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Roche decided to prematurely terminate 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?

Treatment failure defined as a biopsy proven acute rejection, graft loss, death, or lost to follow-up (time frame: during the first 12 months following randomization). 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?
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 19 Dec 2011.
