About this study

Official title: Multi Center Randomized Open-label Phase IV Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety After Conversion to TacroBell SR Capsule or TacroBell Capsule in Renal Transplant Patients Undergoing Maintenance Therapy With Reference Tacrolimus

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and Safety after conversion to TacroBell SR cap. or TacroBell cap. in patients who in renal transplant patients undergoing maintenance therapy with Reference Tacrolimus.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multi-center, Randomized, Open-label and phase IV clinical trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety after conversion to TacroBell SR cap. or TacroBell cap. administration for 24 weeks in renal transplant patients undergoing maintenance therapy with Reference Tacrolimus.

Being tested
TacroBell SR cap., Tacrolimus cap.

What participants receive

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

  • TacroBell SR cap.Drug

    Also called Tacrolimus SR cap.

    • Orally, once-daily in the morning
    • After first dose 0.2mg/kg, check the blood concentration of tacrolimus at each visit and adjust the dose to achieve the blood concentration maintaining at 3~12ng/ml for 0 to 3months and then at 3~8ng/ml for 3 to 6months of study treatment.
  • Tacrolimus cap.Drug

    • Orally, twice a day in the morning and night
    • After first dose 0.1mg/kg, check the blood concentration of tacrolimus at each visit and adjust the dose to achieve the blood concentration maintaining at 7~12ng/ml for 0 to 3months and then at 5~8ng/ml for 3 to 6months of study treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing TacroBell SR cap. and Tacrolimus cap. in people with Kidney Transplant, run by Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical 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 4 inclusion and 15 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 13 Jan 2020. 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 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?

Contact Chul Woo Yang, Ph.D (82-2-2258-6037, yangch@catholic.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of composite efficacy failure (biopsy-confirmed acute rejection; TCMR, graft loss, death, or follow-up failure) (time frame: until 24 weeks). 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 2020.
