About this study

Transporters in kidney are critical in detoxification and elimination of xenobiotics from systemic circulation, and thus are major determinants of drug response and sensitivity. Transporters in the renal epithelium control the exposure of renal cells to nephrotoxic drugs and environmental toxins and thus determine xenobiotic-induced nephrotoxicity. Organic anion transporters (OATs) and organic cation transporters (OCTs) are two major classes of secretory transporters in the mammalian kidney. Among the uptake transporters, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2 appear to be particularly important in the renal basolateral membrane to transport a large variety of endogenous and therapeutic compounds.

Recently, rapid advances in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping can now be applied to characterize the individual patients who suffer adverse effects to a drug, or those for whom a drug shows efficacy. The aim of this study was to identify and functionally characterize OCT2 variants as a first step towards understanding whether genetic variation in OCT2 may contribute to interindividual differences in renal elimination of vancomycin. Taiwanese patients will be screened and 12 coding region variants of OCT2 will be identified. The non-synonymous variants of OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2 will then be constructed and characterized using in vitro human renal cell models. It is to establish whether genetic variants in OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2 are likely significant contributors to intersubject variability in drug response. In addition, approaches toward prevention of some drug-induced nephrotoxicity are discussed, based on molecular mechanisms of renal accumulation of these drugs. Perhaps the researchers' understanding of OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2 in pharmacogenomics may contribute to the goal of individualized drug therapy. Development of new strategies based on the understanding of their cellular handing may achieve safer and more effective therapy for personalized medicines.

Read the detailed description

Beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cyclosporine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antineoplastic, or antivirus drugs that are used extensively in clinical settings bear the risk of nephrotoxicity. This side effect is dose-dependent and has been attributed mainly to the accumulation of drugs in the renal proximal tubule. When assessing nephrotoxicity, both the dosage and the tubular secretion system, which allows transport of drug from blood to urine via the tubular cells, are important factors. This study was designed to investigate how renal transporters work in the renal secretion of specific drugs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vancomycin and DNA are extracted from the whole blood of subjects in people with Adverse Effects, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 27 Dec 2012. 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 Taiwan. 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.

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?

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), plasma creatinine and vancomycin concentration (time frame: 0, 2 hour after Vancomycin administration). 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 27 Dec 2012.
