About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Cyclosporine Reduction in de Novo Renal Allograft Recipients Receiving Sirolimus: a Dose Comparative Study

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of different doses of cyclosporine given concomitantly with a fixed dose of sirolimus in kidney transplant recipients.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of different doses of cyclosporine given concomitantly with a fixed dose of sirolimus in kidney transplant recipients. Cyclosporine blood levels, graft rejection rates and renal function will be assessed.

Being tested
Sirolimus, Cyclosporine

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. A dose response model using the average cyclosporine blood levels correlated to graft rejection rates and renal function will be used to compare efficacy and safety of different doses of cyclosporine.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety evaluations will include physical exams, vital signs, CBC with differential, platelet count, blood chemistries, fasting lipid profiles, BUN or urea, serum creatinine, adverse event monitoring and calculated creatinine clearance.

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sirolimus and Cyclosporine in people with Kidney Transplantation, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 27 Jul 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

A dose response model using the average cyclosporine blood levels correlated to graft rejection rates and renal function will be used to compare efficacy and safety of different doses of cyclosporine.. 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 NCT00507793, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jul 2007.
