Trial summary

The study evaluated renal graft function (based on the calculated creatinine clearance) 6 months after kidney transplantation in patients receiving either a regimen of 'reduced-dose' tacrolimus + sirolimus + corticosteroids or a regimen of 'standard-dose' tacrolimus + sirolimus + corticosteroids.

About this study

Official title: An 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

The study evaluated renal graft function (based on the calculated creatinine clearance) 6 months after kidney transplantation in patients receiving either a regimen of 'reduced-dose' tacrolimus + sirolimus + corticosteroids or a regimen of 'standard-dose' tacrolimus + sirolimus + corticosteroids.

Read the detailed description

The study evaluated renal graft function (based on the calculated creatinine clearance) 6 months after kidney transplantation in patients receiving either a regimen of 'reduced-dose' tacrolimus + sirolimus + corticosteroids or a regimen of 'standard-dose' tacrolimus + sirolimus + corticosteroids. The two treatment groups were also compared with respect to the incidence of acute graft rejection at 6 months and patient and graft survival at 6 months after transplantation.

Being tested
Rapamune® (Sirolimus), Tacrolimus, Perioperative Corticosteroids

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rapamune® (Sirolimus)Drug

  • TacrolimusDrug

  • Perioperative CorticosteroidsDrug

    The corticosteroids use was left up to the investigators decision.

What is being measured

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

  1. Calculated creatinine clearance at month 6 post transplantation

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient and graft survival at 6 months post transplantation; the safety of sirolimus + corticosteroids given concomitantly with reduced or standard dose tacrolimus

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rapamune® (Sirolimus), Tacrolimus and Perioperative 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 11 Dec 2023. 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?

Calculated creatinine clearance at month 6 post transplantation (time frame: 6 months). 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 11 Dec 2023.
