Trial summary

New onset diabetes after renal transplantation (NODAT) is a common and severe complication negatively influencing graft and patient survival. Cyclosporine (CsA) and Tacrolimus are the basis of modern immunosuppression. Tacrolimus is superior to CsA in terms of acute rejection and graft function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Optimum Immunosuppression in Renal Transplant Recipients at High Risk of Developing New Onset Diabetes After Transplantation: A Multicenter, Prospective, Controlled and Randomized Trial.

New onset diabetes after renal transplantation (NODAT) is a common and severe complication negatively influencing graft and patient survival. Cyclosporine (CsA) and Tacrolimus are the basis of modern immunosuppression. Tacrolimus is superior to CsA in terms of acute rejection and graft function. However, Tacrolimus increases 2 times the risk of NODAT as compared to CsA.

Read the detailed description

New onset diabetes after renal transplantation (NODAT) is a common and severe complication negatively influencing graft and patient survival. CsA and Tacrolimus are the basis of modern immunosuppression. Tacrolimus is superior to CsA in terms of acute rejection and graft function. However, increases 2 times the risk of NODAT as compared to CsA. Objectives: a) To compare the incidence of NODAT and glucose intolerance with 3 different regimes: Tacrolimus with rapid steroid withdrawal; Tacrolimus with steroids minimization; and CsA with steroid minimization; b) To compare acute rejection rate, renal function and graft and patient survival between different regimes; and c) to investigate the influence of different regimes on subclinical atheromatosis. A total of 210 patients will be randomized. The primary efficacy variable will be NODAT or glucose intolerance at 1 year; secondary efficacy variables will be acute rejection, renal function, and changes of carotid intima-media thickness over time.

Being tested
Tacrolimus with rapid steroid withdrawal, Tacrolimus with steroids minimization, CsA with steroid minimization
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tacrolimus with rapid steroid withdrawal, Tacrolimus with steroids minimization and CsA with steroid minimization in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Adult-Onset, run by Armando Torres Ramírez at 10 sites in Spain.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Spain. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Primary Outcome Measure "New Onset Diabetes After Renal Transplantation" (NODAT) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01002339, which also lists 11 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 22 Oct 2024.
