About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of Mycophenolate Mofetil in de Novo Lung Allograft Recipients

This open-label, single center study will assess the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil in lung allograft recipients. Participants will be split into 2 groups according to the original disease: Group A (cystic fibrosis) and Group B (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], emphysema, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency [A1AD]). All participants will receive mycophenolate mofetil orally, 1.5 grams (g) twice daily (BID) from Day 2 to 30 post transplantation, and 1 g BID from Day 31 to 90 post transplantation. Anticipated time on study treatment is 90 days, and target sample size is 50-100 individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing mycophenolate mofetil in people with Lung Transplantation, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 10 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 10 Feb 2017). 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?

Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Mycophenolic Acid (MPA), Mycophenolic Acid Glucuronide (MPAG) and Acyl Glucuronide Metabolite of Mycophenolic Acid (AcMPAG) at Day 4 (time frame: Predose (0 hour), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose on Day 4 after transplantation). The study lists 48 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Feb 2017.
