About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetic Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Influence of Pantoprazole on MPA Bioavailability Administered as Mycophenolate Mofetil and Enteric Coated Mycophenolate Sodium in Maintenance Renal Transplant Patients

The objective of this pharmacokinetic study is to examine a possible drug-drug interaction of Pantoprazole on the bioavailability mycophenolic acid.

Read the detailed description

It is a randomized open-label 4-sequence 4-period pharmacokinetic cross-over study. The objective of the pharmacokinetic study is to examine a drug-drug interaction of pantoprazole on the bioavailability mycophenolic acid administered as either mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept(R) or mycophenolate Sodium; EC-MPS (Myfortic (R) in stable renal allograft recipients under maintenance immunosuppressive therapy (cyclosporine +/- low dose glucocorticoids).

Being tested
Mycophenolate sodium, Pantoprazole, Mycophenolate mofetil
Keywords
immunosuppressive medication, mycophenolic acid, interaction, proton pump inhibitor, pantoprazole, renal transplant patients, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, bioavailability

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-normalized AUC of Mycophenolic Acid

    Bioavailability (12h AUC) of mycophenolic acid in renal transplant patients after administration of MMF+/-PAN and EC-MPS+/-PAN

    For evaluation of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters blood will be collected before, 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h after drug intake.

    Measured: Study duration for each patient: 2 months. After 10-14 days of drug intake blood samples for PK/PD analysis will be collected. On the next day new treatment starts. There are 4 study visits at the study center. Duration will be approximately 12hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Mycophenolate sodium, Pantoprazole and Mycophenolate mofetil in people with Transplantation and Immunosuppression, run by Klemens Budde 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 5 inclusion and 12 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 21 Feb 2019. 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 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 9 Sep 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?

Dose-normalized AUC of Mycophenolic Acid (time frame: Study duration for each patient: 2 months. After 10-14 days of drug intake blood samples for PK/PD analysis will be collected. On the next day new treatment starts. There are 4 study visits at the study center. Duration will be approximately 12hours). 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 21 Feb 2019.
