What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the effect of the administration of Rapamune on a clinical composite variable (change in proteinuria, blood pressure and hematuria) in patients with IgA nephropathy with poor prognosis criteria

    Measured: at month 12th

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in the glomerular filtrate rate evaluated by means of radionuclide techniques (51Cr-EDTA) and comparison between both arms

    Measured: At months 6th and 12th

  2. Change in renal histology

    Measured: At 12 months

  3. Percentage of patients who withdraw from the study medication due to adverse events

    Measured: Within 1 year

  4. Percentage of patients with therapeutic failure

    Measured: Within 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ACE inhibitor + statin and Sirolimus (study drug)+ACE inhibitor + statin in people with Glomerulonephritis, IGA and Nephropathy, IGA, run by Josep m Cruzado 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 16 Sep 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 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?

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?

To evaluate the effect of the administration of Rapamune on a clinical composite variable (change in proteinuria, blood pressure and hematuria) in patients with IgA nephropathy with poor prognosis criteria (time frame: at month 12th). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00396721, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 16 Sep 2011.
