Trial summary

Coadministration of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is frequent in kidney transplantation. Due to narrow therapeutic range of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil, therapeutic drug monitoring with dose adjustment is required. Read more about this study

About this study

Coadministration of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is frequent in kidney transplantation. Due to narrow therapeutic range of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil, therapeutic drug monitoring with dose adjustment is required. Investigating pharmacokinetic interplay between two drugs enables fine dose adjustment, while mechanism of drug interaction between two drugs is still not well understood. Therefore, an open-label, three period, single dose trial is planned to investigate the drug interaction between tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil.

Read the detailed description

Study consists of three periods with fixed sequence: 1) single dose of mycophenolate mofetil 1,000mg; 2) single dose of tacrolimus 5mg; 3) single dose of mycophenolate mofetil 1,000mg and tacrolimus 5mg. All subjects have one week of washing period between single dose administration. Blood samples are drawn up to 72 hours after drug administration. Single nucleotide polymorphisms known to result in pharmacokinetic variability of study drug are also investigated. Drug interaction is going to be assessed through the ratio of area under the concentration curve of one drug in the presence or absence of another drug.

    Measured: 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Peak Concentration of Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate mofetil

    Measured: 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post-dose

  2. Adverse Drug Reaction

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate mofetil in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 19 Apr 2016. 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 South Korea. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate mofetil (time frame: 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post-dose). 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 Apr 2016.
