Trial summary

In patients who receive an organ transplant, their body considers this organ as foreign and attempts to destroy it. This is called rejection. All patients who receive an organ transplant, will take a combination of anti-rejection medications. These medications prevent the new organ from being rejected from the body.

About this study

In patients who receive an organ transplant, their body considers this organ as foreign and attempts to destroy it. This is called rejection. All patients who receive an organ transplant, will take a combination of anti-rejection medications. These medications prevent the new organ from being rejected from the body. FTY720 is a new compound that helps prevent organ rejection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing FTY720 in people with Kidney Transplantation, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 18 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

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?

IA, IB, IIA, IIB, III, or humoral rejection diagnosed by biopsy according to Banff 97 criteria within 6 months post transplant. The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00098735, 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 18 Nov 2016.
