About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label Study of Continuous Therapy With Cyclosporine and Sirolimus Versus Induction With Cyclosporine and Sirolimus Followed by Continuous Therapy With Sirolimus in Renal Allograft Recipients

To assess equivalence in the rates of functional graft survival at 12 months after transplantation in patients receiving continuous therapy with cyclosporine (CsA, Sandimmune, Neoral) and sirolimus versus induction with CsA and sirolimus followed by CsA elimination and concentration-controlled 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. Equivalence of graft survival at month 12

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Renal function; biopsy-confirmed acute rejection, grade of acute rejection; subject and graft survival; incidence of infection, malignancy, treatment failure, and of chronic rejection as determined by protocol biopsies; quality of life.

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sirolimus and cyclosporine in people with Renal Transplantation, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.

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 2 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 29 Jan 2007. 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?

Equivalence of graft survival at month 12. 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 NCT00428064, 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 29 Jan 2007.
