About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-Label, Concentration-Controlled, Randomized, 6-Month Study of 'Standard Dose' Tacrolimus + Sirolimus + Corticosteroids Compared to 'Reduced Dose' Tacrolimus + Sirolimus + Corticosteroids in Renal Allograft Recipients

This study evaluated renal graft function based on calculated creatinine clearance at 6 months after transplantation in patients receiving a regimen of 'reduced' or 'standard' dose tacrolimus plus sirolimus and corticosteroids.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluated renal graft function based on calculated creatinine clearance at 6 months after transplantation in patients receiving a regimen of 'reduced' or 'standard' dose tacrolimus plus sirolimus and corticosteroids. Blood serum creatinine, the incidence of biopsy-confirmed acute graft rejection, and patient and graft survival were also evaluated at 6 months post transplantation.

Being tested
Rapamune® (Sirolimus), Tacrolimus, Corticosteroids

What is being measured

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

  1. Graft function as measured by calculated creatinine clearance at month 6 post-transplantation.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Blood serum creatinine, incidence of biopsy-confirmed acute graft rejection, and patient and graft survival at 6 months; presumptive acute rejection; incidence of infection; histologically-confirmed lymphoproliferative disease or malignancy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rapamune® (Sirolimus), Tacrolimus and Corticosteroids 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 20 Aug 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 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?

Graft function as measured by calculated creatinine clearance at month 6 post-transplantation.. 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 20 Aug 2007.
