About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Investigate Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of Everolimus in Patients Treated With Tacrolimus-Based Immunosuppression in De Novo Kidney Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to address the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of everolimus and tacrolimus in combination in de novo kidney transplant recipients, comparing 1.5 and 3 mg per day of everolimus in fixed doses. For comparison purposes, pharmacokinetic profiles will be performed at first dose (abbreviated), 4th day, 14th day, and 42nd day post-transplantation.

Read the detailed description

To address the pharmacokinetic profiles of everolimus and tacrolimus in combination in de novo kidney transplant recipients, comparing 1.5 and 3 mg per day of everolimus in fixed doses. For comparison purposes, pharmacokinetic profiles will be performed at first dose (abbreviated), 4th day, 14th day, and 42nd day post-transplantation. Patients will receive triple therapy steroids, tacrolimus and everolimus. Tacrolimus will be administered at a dose of 0.15 mg/kg/day to achieve 10-15 ng/ml 14 days, and 5-10 thereafter. During the first 6 weeks (the PK study period) everolimus will be assigned to fixed dose of 0.75 or 1.5 mg bid. After day 42, everolimus will be adjusted for 3-8 ng/ml and tacrolimus minimized to optimize graft function. Efficacy and safety parameters at 6 months post-transplantation will be secondary endpoints.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing everolimus and tacrolimus in people with Kidney Diseases, run by Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 26 Oct 2006. 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 Spain. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Julio Pascual, MD (+34 91 3368018, julpascual@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

12-hour PK profiles of everolimus and tacrolimus on day 14 post-transplantation with everolimus 1.5 mg versus 3 mg per day. 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 26 Oct 2006.
