About this study

Official title: Head-to-Head Comparison of Thymoglobulin vs. Campath-1H vs. Our Standard Center Treatment Protocol in Living Donor Renal Transplantation - A Study to Evaluate the Avoidance of Long-term Nephrotoxic Calcineurin Inhibitor Therapy

The purpose of this study is to observe in a randomized prospective study the effectiveness and toxicity of Thymoglobulin vs. Campath-1H used for induction therapy in recipients of living donor (LD) kidneys, compared with the investigators standard treatment protocol of Zenapax® and maintenance immunosuppression.

Read the detailed description

To observe in a randomized prospective pilot study the effectiveness and toxicity of Thymoglobulin vs. Campath-1H used for induction therapy in recipients of living donor (LD) kidneys, compared with our standard treatment protocol of Zenapax® and maintenance immunosuppression (vide infra).

To determine the effect different antibody induction regimen on the lymphoid cell subsets of the immune system in kidney allograft recipients peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirates will be tested at surgery before transplantation and at intervals post operatively.

To treat renal transplant patients successfully in the absence of long-term calcineurin inhibition to determine if there are beneficial effects on the prevention of chronic allograft nephropathy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Anti-Thymocyte Globulin vs Campath-1H vs Daclizumab in people with End-Stage Renal Disease and Living Donors, run by University of Miami at 1 site 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 5 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 12 Jan 2010. 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 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?

To observe in a randomized prospective pilot study the effectiveness and toxicity of Thymoglobulin vs. Campath-1H used for induction therapy in recipients of living donor kidneys. (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Jan 2010.
