What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DTBiological

    Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid (DT) will be administered intramuscularly as a 1/3 dilution (0.33 flocculation units). The participants will be rechallenged with DT 6 months after Day 29 if failed to show >=1.5 fold increase in lymphocyte proliferative response but have a humoral response.

  • DaclizumabDrug

    Also called Zenapax

    The fifth dose (1 milligram per kilogram [mg/kg]) of daclizumab will be administered in this study to participants who already received four doses (one dose at 1 mg/kg within 24 hours post-transplant and then every other week for 3 doses).

  • KLHBiological

    KLH will be administered intradermally with a dose of 250 mcg for participants aged 2 to less than 12 years, and 500 mcg for participants aged 12 to 19 years. The participants will be rechallenged with KLH 6 months after Day 29 if failed to show specified increase in lymphocyte proliferative response or humoral response.

Positive cellular response was defined as an increase in the 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) percent total net of at least 1.5-fold compared with baseline, where baseline was assigned a value of 0.5 if <=0, on at least one time point on Days 22, 29, 43 or 57. All humoral responses were assessed by ELISA and all cellular responses were assessed by BrdU proliferation assay.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 22, Day 29, Day 43 and Day 57

  6. Number of KLH Cellular Nonresponders Who Were Rechallenged and Mounted a Cellular Response to KLH Immunization

    Nonresponders (participants who failed to mount cellular responses to KLH) were rechallenged with KLH 6 months after Day 29 (Day 196). For nonresponders, positive cellular response to KLH was defined as an increase in the 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) percent total net of at least 1.5-fold compared with baseline, where baseline was assigned a value of 0.5 if <=0, on at least one time point up to Day 252. All cellular responses were assessed by BrdU proliferation assay.

    Measured: Up to Day 252

  7. Number of Tetanus Cellular Nonresponders Who Were Rechallenged and Mounted a Cellular Tetanus Response

    Nonresponders (participants who mount humoral responses but no cellular responses to tetanus vaccination) were rechallenged with TT 6 months after Day 29 (Day 196).

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 29

  15. Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is a significant medical event in the investigator's judgment or requires intervention to prevent one or other of these outcomes

    Measured: Up to Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing DT, Daclizumab and KLH in people with Kidney Transplantation, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 5 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 13 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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 13 Jan 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?

Number of Participants Who Developed a Positive Antibody Response (IgG) to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) Immunization (time frame: Baseline and Day 43 or Day 57). 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 13 Jan 2016.
