About this study

Official title: Prospective, Rand, Open-label, Single-center, 2 Sequence, 3 Period Crossover Study to Compare the Steady State PK of Once-Daily-Extended Release LCP-Tacro to Generic Tacrolimus Capsules Twice Daily in Stable A A Renal Transplant pt.

Open label, prospective, single-center, randomized, two sequence, three period crossover study to compare the steady state pharmacokinetics of LCP-Tacro tables to generic tacrolimus capsules administered twice daily in stable African-American renal transplant patients.

Read the detailed description

This is open label, prospective, single-center, randomized, two sequence, three period crossover study to compare the steady state pharmacokinetics of once daily dosing of LCP-Tacro tablets to tacrolimus capsules administered twice daily in stable African American kidney transplant patients.

Approximately 72 male and female African American renal transplant patients on table immunosuppression regimens will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two sequences:

Sequence 1: (n=36) 18 patients requiring less than 0.15 mg/kg/day and 18 patients requiring equal to or greater than 0.15 mg/kg/day. Patients will continue on generic tacrolimus capsules on days 1-7 (24 hours PK profile on day 7) then patients are switched to LCP-Tacro tablets (at 15% lower dose of twice daily generic tacrolimus) on day 8.

Sequence 2: (n=36) 18 patients requiring less than 0.15 mg/kg/day and 18 patients requiring equal to or greater than 0.15 mg/kg/day. Patients will receive LCP-Tacro tablets (at 15% lower dose than generic tacrolimus twice daily formulation) on days 1-7 (24 hour PK profile on day 7) patients are switched back to twice daily generic tacrolimus treatment beginning on day 8.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing LCP-Tacro and Tacrolimus -IR in people with Renal Failure, run by Veloxis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 19 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 6 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 15 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?

Evaluation of AUC(0-24) for Envarsus XR and IR-Tac (time frame: Day 7). The study lists 9 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 NCT01962922, 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 6 Jun 2018.
