About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Polyclonal Antibodies in Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant Recipients: Single-centre, Prospective, Observational Study

A single-centre, prospective, observational study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Polyclonal Antibodies in simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant recipients.

Read the detailed description

Polyclonal antibody mainly contains Antit-Tlymphocyte globulins(Grafalon) and Anti-thymocyte globulins(ATG). To investigate the efficacy and safety of polyclonal antibodies induction regimen using Grafalon compared with ATG in de novo simultaneous pancreas kidney transplant recipients. The primary analysis of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the two regimens with regard to efficacy, defined as failure rate.

The secondary objective of the study is the assessment of safety and further efficacy parameters in terms of incidence of acute rejections, graft/patient survival, DGF(delayed graft function), pancreas function and renal function

Being tested
Anti-Tlymphocyte Globulins, Anti-Thymocyte Globulins
Keywords
Grafalon ATG SPK
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Anti-Tlymphocyte Globulins and Anti-Thymocyte Globulins in people with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 5T and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Tianjin First Central Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 20 Mar 2018. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence and severity of adverse event (time frame: up to 3 months post-transplantation). 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 NCT03470961, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Mar 2018.
