Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Be greater than or equal to (>=) 18 and less than or equal to (<=) 70 years of age.
  • Weigh >= 45 kg with a body mass index (BMI) less than (<) 35 kilogram (kg)/meter (m)^2 at screening.
  • Have human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibody (DSA) identified at the time of diagnosis of AMR. If it is anticipated that the local DSA results will not be available within the screening period, previously obtained local DSA results can be used to assess eligibility, if obtained after kidney transplant and within 30 days prior to the qualifying AMR episode. In any instance, a local DSA test should still be performed at the time of AMR diagnosis.
  • Have a first qualifying episode of AMR in the participant's current renal allograft between 72 hours (h) and 12 months after transplant defined by a renal allograft biopsy demonstrating neutrophil and/or monocyte infiltration in the peritubular capillaries (PTC) and/or glomeruli with or without evidence of 4th complement protein degradation product (C4d) deposition by immunohistopathology according to 2013 Banff criteria.
  • Have achieved adequate renal function defined as: Pre-AMR baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (eGFRMDRD) >=20 millilitre (mL)/minute (min) /1.73m^2 for a qualifying AMR episode occurring <=21 days after transplant or pre-AMR baseline eGFRMDRD >=30 mL/min/1.7m^2 for a qualifying AMR episode occurring greater than (>) 21 days after transplant. The pre-AMR baseline is the highest eGFRMDRD value obtained following the kidney transplant and within 30 days prior to the qualifying AMR episode. If more than 1 eGFRMDRD value is available, a mean of the 2 highest values (at least 1 day apart and both prior to the AMR episode) will be used as the pre-AMR baseline value. If no eGFRMDRD was obtained within 30 days prior to biopsy, it can be evaluated within a 60 day period.
  • Receive first dose of investigational product after 7 days after the kidney transplant procedure and within 7 days after the qualifying renal allograft biopsy procedure that was positive for AMR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With New or Worsening Transplant Glomerulopathy (TG) at Month 6 Post-Treatment

    New or worsening TG at month 6 by the standard score was defined as an increase in one or more between qualifying biopsy and 6-month biopsy. New or worsening TG was measured by Banff 2013 criteria (standard score) using allograft glomerulopathy (Cg0-Cg3): Cg0- No GBM double contours by light microscopy (LM) or electron microscopy (EM); Cg1- no GBM double contours by LM but GBM double contours in at least 3 glomerular capillaries by EM; Cg2- Double contours affecting 26 to 50% of peripheral capillary loops in the most affected of nonsclerotic glomeruli; Cg3- Double contours affecting more than 50% of peripheral capillary loops in the most affected of nonsclerotic glomeruli with a score range of 0 (no allograft glomerulopathy) and 3 (severe glomerulopathy). Percentage of participants with new or worsening TG at Month 6 post-treatment was reported.

    Measured: Month 6

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Number of Participants With All-Cause Graft Failure at Month 48

    Graft failure was determined as the presence of one or more of the following criteria: institution of permanent dialysis (defined as dialysis treatment more than [>] 30 days), current transplant nephrectomy, and/or a clinical determination of cessation of kidney graft function and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than or equal to (<=) 15 milliliter (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 meter (m)^2.

    Measured: Month 48

  2. Change From Baseline in Renal Function up to Month 48

    Renal function was measured as glomerular filtration rate calculated by the modification of diet in renal disease (eGFRMDRD).

    Measured: Baseline, up to Month 48

  3. Change From Baseline With Pre-Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) in Renal Function up to Month 48

    Renal function was measured as glomerular filtration rate calculated by the modification of diet in renal disease (eGFRMDRD). Pre-AMR baseline was the highest eGFRMDRD value obtained following the kidney transplant and within 30 days prior to the qualifying AMR episode.

    Measured: Pre-AMR Baseline, up to Month 48

  4. Number of Participants With Proteinuria Levels at Month 48

    Proteinuria included spot urine protein, urine creatinine, and urine protein/urine creatinine ratio.

    Measured: Month 48

  5. Change From Pre-Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) Baseline in Histopathology Per Banff Criteria at Month 6

    Histopathological diagnosis of acute rejection was measured by Banff 2013 criteria: Glomerulitis score (g0-g3), allograft glomerulopathy (Cg0-cg3), Tubulitis score (T0-T3), Intimal arteritis score (V0-V3), peritubular capillaritis (PTC) (ptc0-ptc3) and Interstitial Inflammation score (i0-i3). The histopathology was a composite of the sub-scores. Each of the sub-scores or histopathology score ranges from 0 ( no histopathology) to 3 (more severe histopathology).

    Measured: Pre-AMR Baseline, Month 6

  6. Number of Participants With All-Cause Graft Failure at Month 6

    Graft failure was determined by the presence of one or more of the following criteria: institution of permanent dialysis (defined as dialysis treatment more than [>] 30 days), current transplant nephrectomy, and/or a clinical determination of cessation of kidney graft function and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than or equal to (<=) 15 milliliter (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 meter (m)^2.

    Measured: Month 6

  7. Number of Participants With Graft Failure Due to Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) Episodes at Month 48

    Graft failure was determined by the presence of one or more of the following criteria: institution of permanent dialysis (defined as dialysis treatment more than [>] 30 days), current transplant nephrectomy, and/or a clinical determination of cessation of kidney graft function and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than or equal to (<=) 15 milliliter (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 meter (m)^2.

    Measured: Month 48

  8. Time to All-Cause Graft Failure up to Month 48

    Graft failure was determined by the presence of one or more of the following criteria: institution of permanent dialysis (defined as dialysis treatment more than [>] 30 days), current transplant nephrectomy, and/or a clinical determination of cessation of kidney graft function and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than or equal to (<=) 15 milliliter (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 meter (m)^2. Time to all-cause graft failure in months was calculated as (Date of graft failure - Date of first dose + 1)/30.25.

    Measured: Up to Month 48

  9. Time to Graft Failure Due to Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) Episodes up to Month 48

    Graft failure was determined by the presence of one or more of the following criteria: institution of permanent dialysis (defined as dialysis treatment > 30 days), current transplant nephrectomy, and/or a clinical determination of cessation of kidney graft function and eGFR <=15 mL/ min/1.73m^2. Time to graft failure due to AMR episodes in months was calculated as (Date of graft failure due to AMR - Date of first dose + 1)/30.25.

    Measured: Up to Month 48

  10. Number of Participants With Resolution of the Qualifying Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) Episodes at Month 48

    Number of participants with resolution of the qualifying AMR episodes at Month 48.

    Measured: Month 48

  11. Time to Resolution of Qualifying Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) Episodes up to Month 48

    Time to resolution of qualifying AMR episodes was calculated as (Date of qualifying AMR resolution - Date of first dose + 1)/30.25. Participants who didn't had resolution of qualifying AMR episodes and still on-study were censored at the date of last visit; Participants who had completed the study without resolution of qualifying AMR were censored at the date of study completion; participants who discontinued from the study without resolution of qualifying AMR were censored at the date of early discontinuation.

    Measured: Up to Month 48

  12. Number of Participants Who Were Alive at Month 36

    Number of participants who were alive at Month 36 (study terminated instead of Month 48) were reported.

    Measured: Month 36

  13. Time to All-Cause Mortality up to Month 48

    Time to all-cause mortality was calculated as (Date of discontinuation due to death - Date of first dose + 1)/30.25. Participants who are alive and still on-study were censored at the date of last visit; Participants who had completed the study were censored at the date of study completion; Participants who discontinued from the study but not due to death were censored at the date of early discontinuation.

    Measured: Up to Month 48

  14. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward, undesired, unplanned clinical event in the form of signs, symptoms, disease, or laboratory or physiological observations occurred in a participant participating in a clinical study with the sponsor's product, regardless of causal relationship. TEAEs were defined as events that started or worsened on or after the date of the first dose of investigational product, but no later than 30 days following the last dose of investigational product, within a treatment period.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to study termination (Month 36)

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cinryze® in people with Acute Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR), run by Shire at 47 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 9 inclusion and 14 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 13 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 47 sites in United States, France, Spain, Germany, Canada 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 13 Jul 2020). 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?

Percentage of Participants With New or Worsening Transplant Glomerulopathy (TG) at Month 6 Post-Treatment (time frame: Month 6). 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 NCT02547220, 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 13 Jul 2020.
