Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out how much of Modigraf is absorbed and used in the body and how fast it leaves the body (Pharmacokinetics). The results will then help to decide how much Modigraf in future can be given safely to children and young people following transplantation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicentre, Open-label, Pharmacokinetic Study of Modigraf® (Tacrolimus Granules) in de Novo Paediatric Allograft Recipients

The purpose of this study is to find out how much of Modigraf is absorbed and used in the body and how fast it leaves the body (Pharmacokinetics). The results will then help to decide how much Modigraf in future can be given safely to children and young people following transplantation.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of tacrolimus following oral administration of Modigraf, after the first oral dose and at steady state in paediatric subjects undergoing de novo allograft transplantation.

Being tested
Tacrolimus granules

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine AUCtau (area under the plasma concentration-time curve for a dosing interval)

    Measured: on Day 1 and Day 7 (+/- 7 days)

  2. Determine Cmax (maximum concentration)

    Measured: on Day 1 and Day 7 (+/- 7 days)

  3. Determine tmax (time to attain Cmax)

    Measured: on Day 1 and Day 7 (+/- 7 days)

  4. Determine Ctrough (plasma concentration at the end of a dosing interval)

    Measured: on Day 1 and Day 7 (+/- 7 days)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rejection episodes

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Patient survival

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Graft survival

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Assessment of safety through the evaluation of Adverse Events, laboratory parameters and vital signs

    Measured: 14 days

Individual data sharing
Yes: Access to anonymized individual participant level data collected during the study, in addition to study-related supporting documentation, is planned for studies conducted with approved product indications and formulations, as well as products terminated during development. Studies conducted with product indications or formulations that remain active in development are assessed after study completion to determine if Individual Participant Data can be shared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tacrolimus granules in people with Kidney Transplantation and Heart Transplantation, run by Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd. at 10 sites in 6 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 15 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 1 Nov 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, Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, France and 1 more country. 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?

Determine AUCtau (area under the plasma concentration-time curve for a dosing interval) (time frame: on Day 1 and Day 7 (+/- 7 days)). The study lists 4 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 NCT01371331, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Nov 2024.
