About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of the Influence of CYP3A4/CYP3A5 and MDR1 Gene Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms on Long-Term Tacrolimus Disposition in Renal Allograft Recipients: a Five Year Follow-up Study Using Abbreviated Concentration-Time Measurements.

An evaluation of the effects of genetically determined variant metabolizing and transporting proteins involved in the disposition of the immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus in renal transplant recipients. In a five year follow-up study tacrolimus dose-corrected exposure changes significantly and the effect(s) of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the CYP3A4/CYP3A5 and MDR1 genes on the latter is assessed in this study.

Read the detailed description

A 5-year pharmacokinetic follow-up study in 95 renal allograft recipients assessing tacrolimus exposure using repeated abbreviated Area-Under-the-Concentration-time (AUC) curve measurements at regular time points after grafting. The effects of the CYP3A5*1, CYP3A4*1B, MDR1 G2677T/A and C3435T single nucleotide polymorphisms on the evolution of tacrolimus disposition are studied over 5 years in order to clarify the interrelationship between CYP3A5, CYP3A4 and MDR1 genotypes, time-dependent exposure and tacrolimus-related toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Transplantation, run by KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 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 Belgium. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00411944, which also lists 2 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 15 Dec 2006.
