Trial summary

The long-term use of calcineurin inhibitors in the maintenance phase after kidney transplantation is associated with typical adverse effects, such as potential contribution to progressive impairment of renal function, hypertension, and metabolic abnormalities. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 12 Month, Prospective, Randomised, Open-Label Comparative Study to Evaluate the Protection of Kidney Function by Basiliximab in a CNI-Free Regimen in Newly Kidney Transplanted Patients (Three Months Post-Transplant) Who Are Recipient of One Kidney From Expanded Donor Criteria (UNOS Criteria)

The long-term use of calcineurin inhibitors in the maintenance phase after kidney transplantation is associated with typical adverse effects, such as potential contribution to progressive impairment of renal function, hypertension, and metabolic abnormalities.

This 15 month study with a safety follow up is undertaken to evaluate the potential benefit of an alternative treatment strategy to the chronic use of CNI. It will establish, through a comparative design, the superior protection of kidney function provided by chronic usage of basiliximab over tacrolimus early post-transplantation using EDC kidneys.

What participants receive

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

  • basiliximabDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the annualised change in GFR (delta GFR) at three and twelve months after baseline.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To demonstrate that the efficacy of basiliximab compared to the efficacy of tacrolimus kis comparable in the prevention of acute cellular rejection at 3 and 12 months after baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing basiliximab in people with Kidney Transplant, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 12 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 12 Apr 2007. 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 Canada. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Contact Jean Tchervenkov, MD (514 934 1934 ext. 33333, tchervenkov@bell.blackberry.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare the annualised change in GFR (delta GFR) at three and twelve months after baseline.. 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 12 Apr 2007.
