Trial summary

Kidney transplantation is now the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Between 2800 and 3000 kidney transplants are performed each year in France and more than 33 000 patients are living with a functioning graft. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Identification of Key Risk Factors Associated With Neoplastic Complications After Renal Transplantation in Nord-Pas de Calais, Normandy and Picardy Regions

Kidney transplantation is now the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Between 2800 and 3000 kidney transplants are performed each year in France and more than 33 000 patients are living with a functioning graft.

Preventing allograft rejection requires the use of immunosuppressive therapy, the intensity decreases as the distance from the day of transplantation. Unfortunately, treatment favors certain complications, including infectious and neoplastic. These represent a major cause of mortality in these patients. If the frequency of skin cancer is greatly increased in this population, that of solid tumors remains a concern. Approximately 20% of patients develop cancer after 10 years of graft , half non- skin cancers, the main risk factor is immunosuppressive therapy .

The aim of the study is to evaluate, in a large population of patients treated in 4 regions ( the Nord-Pas de Calais, the Upper and Lower Normandy and Picardy) risk factors (in particular the nature of the immunosuppressive treatment) of developing a neoplastic complication, skin cancers and solid tumors, after renal transplantation.

Read the detailed description

A retrospective analysis of the previous 10 years, from 2002 to 2011 will be conducted. This study will better understand the epidemiology of these complications but also allow to identify risk factors associated, including demographic, environmental and related to immunosuppressive therapy.

Thereafter, we hope to implement preventive measures or prospective studies, allowing us to reduce the prevalence of this complication.

Kidney TransplantationPatients who had undergone renal transplantation for 10 years in the interregion Northwest (Normandy, Picardy and Nord-Pas de Calais).

What is being measured

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

  1. Association between neoplastic complications and cancers

    Correlation, in a population of renal transplant patients followed in interregion Northwest, of the association of neoplastic complications after renal transplantation, skin cancers and solid tumors outside the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the terms of immunosuppressive treatment used

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Risk factors

    Identify the main risk factors for developing cancer after transplantation, besides immunosuppressive therapy

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Incidence

    Evaluate the incidence of neoplastic complications after renal transplantation in interregion Northwest

    Measured: 10 years

  3. Typology of cancers

    Assess the distribution and respective frequency of different types of cancer, skin and solid tumors in this group of patients

    Measured: 10 years

  4. Survival prognosis

    Establish the prognosis and survival of transplanted patients with a diagnosis of cancer after transplantation

    Measured: 10 years

  5. Survival factors

    Analyze the factors associated with the survival of transplanted patients who developed cancer after transplantation

    Measured: 10 years

  6. Graft survival

    Evaluate graft survival in the group of patients who develop post- transplantation cancer , especially after cancer diagnosis

    Measured: 10 years

  7. Rejection number

    Determine the number of cellular acute rejection and humoral rejections in patients who developed cancer and those free from this complication and analyze the prevalence of releases in the period following the diagnosis of cancer

    Measured: 10 years

  8. Renal function after cancer

    To analyze the evolution of renal function after cancer diagnosis

    Measured: 10 years

  9. Cancer management

    Analyze the management of these cancers, in particular as regards the strategy of immunosuppressive therapy after cancer diagnosis

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer of Kidney, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 4 sites in France.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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?

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?

Association between neoplastic complications and cancers (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT02121730, 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 28 Apr 2026.
