About this study

Official title: Open Label Randomized Single Study to Evaluate the Safety & Efficacy of Early CNI Withdrawal in Recipients of Primary Renal Allografts Maintained Long-Term on Mycophenolate Mofetil; MMF (CellCept) and Sirolimus (Rapamune)

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of early corticosteroid withdrawal and simultaneous calcineurin inhibitor withdrawal in recipients of primary renal allografts maintained long-term on MMF and sirolimus.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Composite endpoint of either acute rejection, biopsy proven calcineurin inhibitor toxicity, or failure of the estimated BSA indexed GFR by MDRD method to improve by 20% from time randomization to 12 months.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Renal allograft function at 6 and 12 months.

  2. Incidence of biopsy proven acute rejection at 6 and 12 months.

  3. Time to first rejection.

  4. Total number of rejection episodes per patient.

  5. Graft loss and patient death.

  6. Incidence of treatment failure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing mycophenolate mofetil and sirolimus in people with Primary Renal Allograft, run by University of Cincinnati at 2 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

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?

Composite endpoint of either acute rejection, biopsy proven calcineurin inhibitor toxicity, or failure of the estimated BSA indexed GFR by MDRD method to improve by 20% from time randomization to 12 months.. 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 15 Jul 2021.
