Trial summary

This 2 arm study will evaluate the impact on fibrosis at week 52 of an early biopsy, in patients who have received a kidney transplant from an expanded criteria donor. Patients will be randomized to one of two groups; the first group will have a biopsy at day 10, and the second group will receive standard management. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Multicenter, Open-label Study Evaluating the Impact on the Fibrosis at Week 52 of an Early Biopsy at (D10) Versus Standard Management in Patients Who Have Undergone de Novo Renal Transplantation and Received a Marginal Organ Transplant

This 2 arm study will evaluate the impact on fibrosis at week 52 of an early biopsy, in patients who have received a kidney transplant from an expanded criteria donor. Patients will be randomized to one of two groups; the first group will have a biopsy at day 10, and the second group will receive standard management. All patients will be given CellCept as standard of care. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Being tested

  2. Incidence and time of occurrence of clinical acute rejection

    Measured: From randomization to Week 52

  3. Adverse events, laboratory parameters, cancers and lymphoproliferative syndromes

    Measured: Throughout study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing mycophenolate mofetil [CellCept] in people with Kidney Transplantation, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 17 sites in France.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 9 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in France. 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 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?

Proportion of patients with >=25% increase in fibrosis score (time frame: Day 0 to Week 52). 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 9 Jul 2012.
