Trial summary

The calcineurin inhibitor drugs including cyclosporin and tacrolimus are well-known as nephrotoxicity. However, these drugs are essential for kidney transplant especially in high immunological risks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: MicroRNA Expression in Everolimus-based Versus Tacrolimus-based Maintenance Immunosuppressive Regimens in Kidney Transplantation

The calcineurin inhibitor drugs including cyclosporin and tacrolimus are well-known as nephrotoxicity. However, these drugs are essential for kidney transplant especially in high immunological risks. To date, however, there is an alternative regimen by using of everolimus-based which showing less toxicity than tacrolimus-based regimen by its mechanisms. Of note, this study aims to evaluate the toxicity by using microRNA profiles detection between everolimus-based and tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen in kidney transplantation.

Read the detailed description

The author aims to evaluate the effects of two regimens (everolimus-based versus tacrolimus-based) in kidney transplantation recipients. Both of regimens are prescribed only in recipents who have low immunologicla risks. After informed consent, all eligible recipients will be collected blood and urine sample for microRNA profile testing during study periods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Everolimus and Tacrolimus in people with microRNA Profiles, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2014. 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 Thailand. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wiwat Chancharoenthana, MD, MSc. (6622564251 ext. 101, wiwatmd@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

microRNA profiles (time frame: 5 years). 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 19 Mar 2014.
