What is being measured

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

  1. Part A: Number of Participants with Acute Rejection Episodes

    Rejection episodes/acute rejections are indicated by clinical and/or laboratory signs, and are classified according to their rejection specific treatment: •Spontaneously Resolving Acute Rejection: not treated with new or increased corticosteroid medication, antibodies or any other medication and resolved, irrespective of any tacrolimus dose changes; •Corticosteroid Sensitive Acute Rejection: treated with new or increased corticosteroid medication only and which has resolved, irrespective of any tacrolimus dose changes; •Corticosteroid Resistant Acute Rejection: did not resolve following treatment with corticosteroids; - Resolved with further treatment: any acute rejection with an end date AND a treatment other than corticosteroid used; - Unresolved with further treatment: any acute rejection with no end date AND a treatment other than corticosteroid used; - Unresolved with no further treatment: any acute rejection with no end date AND ONLY corticosteroid treatment used.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Part A; Number of Participants with Biopsy-proven Acute Rejection Episodes (BPARs)

    BPAR episodes are defined as acute rejection episodes confirmed by biopsy, and are classified according to their rejection specific treatment: •Spontaneously Resolving Acute Rejection: not treated with new or increased corticosteroid medication, antibodies or any other medication and resolved, irrespective of any tacrolimus dose changes; •Corticosteroid Sensitive Acute Rejection: treated with new or increased corticosteroid medication only and which has resolved, irrespective of any tacrolimus dose changes; •Corticosteroid Resistant Acute Rejection: did not resolve following treatment with corticosteroids; - Resolved with further treatment: any acute rejection with an end date AND a treatment other than corticosteroid used; - Unresolved with further treatment: any acute rejection with no end date AND a treatment other than corticosteroid used; - Unresolved with no further treatment: any acute rejection with no end date AND ONLY corticosteroid treatment used.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Part A: Severity of BPARs

    The severity of BPARs is categorized with specific criteria by organ: For kidney transplant participants, according to Banff '97 Diagnostic categories for renal allograft biopsies - Banff '07 update (C4d deposition, Acute antibody-mediated rejection I, II, and III, Acute T cell mediated rejection IA, IB, IIA, IIB and III); for liver transplant participants, according to 1997 Banff Schema for Grading of Liver Allograft Rejection - Rejection Activity Index score (sum of grades: 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe; range from 0-9); for heart, according to Standardized Nomenclature of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation - Standardised Cardiac Biopsy Grading: Acute Cellular Rejection 2004 (mild, moderate, severe).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  4. Part A: Patient Survival

    Patient survival is reported as the number of deaths that occurred during Part A of the study.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Part A: Graft Survival

    Graft survival is reported as the number of participants who experienced graft loss. Graft loss is defined as retransplantation or death or return to pretransplantation treatment modality for 6 weeks or longer. Additionally, kidney transplanted participants with ongoing dialysis at the end of study is counted as participants with graft loss.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  6. Part A: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    Safety is assessed by AEs, which includes abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, etc.) if the abnormality induces clinical signs or symptoms, needs active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study medication or is clinically significant. A serious AE (SAE) is an event resulting in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly or birth defect, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization or is considered medically important. A treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE observed after investigational drug administration.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (up to 13 months)

  7. Part A: Tacrolimus Mean Trough Levels

    Measured: Day 1, months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 (prior to each study drug dosing)

  8. Part A: Number of Dose Adjustments

    Study drug doses are adjusted based on clinical evidence of efficacy and occurrence of adverse events, and taking into consideration the recommended whole blood trough level range of 5-20 ng/ml.

    Measured: Months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12

  9. Part B: Number of Participants with AEs

    Safety is assessed by AEs, which included abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, etc.) if the abnormality induces clinical signs or symptoms, needs active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study medication or is clinically significant. A SAE is an event resulting in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly or birth defect, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization or is considered medically important. A TEAE is defined as an AE observed after investigational drug administration.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug (tacrolimus capsules) up to 7 days after last dose (up to 38 days)

  10. Part B: Tacrolimus Trough Levels Prior to and After Conversion

    Values prior to conversion are the last trough level prior to first dose of study drug (tacrolimus capsules). Values after conversion are the first trough level after first dose of study drug (tacrolimus capsules).

    Measured: Day -1 up to 1 month

  11. Part B: Number of Dose Adjustments

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to 1 month

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted10 Jun 2011 (estimated)
  2. Study start24 Jun 2011
  3. Primary completion2 Apr 2017

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tacrolimus granules and Tacrolimus capsules in people with Heart Transplantation and Kidney Transplantation, run by Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd. at 12 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 8 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: stopped early, 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 12 sites in Spain, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium 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 was stopped early (reason given: Trial will not complete until at least 2025 and evolution of immunosuppressant therapy has made it unlikely that patients will convert from Modigraf to Prograf.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Part A: Number of Participants with Acute Rejection Episodes (time frame: Up to 12 months). The study lists 11 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 1 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
