About this study

Official title: A Randomized Open-label Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Two Different Sirolimus Regimens With a Tacrolimus + Mycophenolate Mofetil Regimen in De Novo Renal Allograft Recipients.

The study is being done to compare the safety and effects (good and bad) of three different combinations of immunosuppression drugs used by kidney transplant recipients while also looking at their kidney function.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, randomized, comparative, multinational study. The study will be looking at the kidney function of kidney transplant recipients, while also comparing the safety and the effects (good and bad) of three different combinations of immunosuppression drugs in combination with prednisone, following treatment with Daclizumab (Zenapax). The three combinations are; (1) sirolimus and tacrolimus followed by the withdrawal of tacrolimus after three months; (2) sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF); and (3) tacrolimus and MMF. The participants will be required to return to throughout the next 24 months following their transplant for physical exams, chest x-ray, blood, and urine tests. Participants will be put into one of three groups, and receive the study drugs starting on the day of transplant. Due to some drugs affecting the drug levels of sirolimus, participants need to agree not to take any new drugs during the study unless approved by the study doctor.

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 after transplantation.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Calculated creatinine clearance at 26, 78, and 104 weeks post transplantation.

  2. Serum creatinine at 26, 52, 78, and 104 weeks post transplantation.

  3. Subject and graft survival at 26, 52, 78, and 104 weeks post transplantation.

  4. Incidence and severity of biopsy-confirmed acute rejection at 26, 52, 78, and 108 weeks post transplantation.

  5. Severity of rejection, including histological grade of the first acute rejection episode.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sirolimus in people with Kidney Transplant, 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?

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 20 Jan 2010. 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 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 after transplantation.. 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 20 Jan 2010.
