About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Non-Randomized Study To Evaluate The Steady-State Pharmacokinetics Of Sirolimus Tablets In Chinese Patients With Stable Renal Allografts

Sirolimus, 1 mg, white, triangular tablets (Rapamune®) was approved on 03 April 2007 in China for prophylaxis of organ rejection in renal transplantation. A pharmacokinetic (PK) study to be conducted in renal allograft recipients was requested by State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) to provide further guidance for clinical use.

To minimize risk to patients, this study is designed to collect blood PK samples from renal allograft recipients who are currently under sirolimus (1 mg tablets) treatment with or without concomitant medication(s). PK samples will be collected from these patients to characterize the steady state PK of sirolimus during sirolimus maintenance therapy. This study will not involve any changes to the established treatment regimen for the patients who enroll in the study

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Observed Blood Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss)

    Measured: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose

  2. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Blood Concentration at Steady State (Tmax,ss)

    Measured: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose

  3. Observed Blood Trough Concentration at Steady State (Ctrough,ss)

    Measured: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose

  4. Average Blood Concentration at Steady State (Cave,ss)

    Measured: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose

  5. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to End of Dosing Interval (AUCtau) at Steady State

    Measured: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose

  6. Degree of Fluctuation (DF)

    DF, also known as peak to trough fluctuation (PTF) (calculated as [Cmax minus Ctrough] divided by Cave), is a unit-less ratio of the Cmax to Ctrough decrease expressed as a fraction of the average concentration during a dosing interval.

    Measured: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose

  7. Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F)

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed.

    Measured: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Number of Participants With Serum Creatinine Levels More Than (>) 1.3 Times the Upper Limit of Normal

    Serum creatinine, an indicator of kidney function, formed from the metabolism of creatine, commonly found in blood, urine, and muscle tissue, is removed from blood by kidneys and excreted in urine. Increased creatinine in blood indicates decreased kidney function. Creatinine levels are age, gender and race dependent as they are related to an individual's muscle mass. Renal transplant recipients may have elevated serum creatinine. For this study an abnormal serum creatinine level is defined as 1.3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the laboratory where the determination was performed.

    Measured: From baseline up to Day 4

  2. Number of Participants With Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Less Than (<) 60 mL/Min/1.73 m^2

    GFR, an index of kidney function, describes flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. GFR can be measured directly or estimated using established formulas. GFR was calculated using the Simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Dysfunction (MDRD) GFR equation. Normal GFR is >90 mL/min/1.73 m^2; children and older people usually have lower GFR. Often, kidney transplant recipients do not have normal GFRs. Lower values indicate poor kidney function. GFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m^2 is consistent with kidney failure. For this posting, the number of subjects with a GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 is listed.

    Measured: From baseline up to Day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sirolimus in people with Transplant Rejection and Renal Transplantation, run by Pfizer at 2 sites in China.

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 4 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 1 Mar 2012. 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Feb 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Observed Blood Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss) (time frame: Predose (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose). The study lists 7 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 NCT01236378, 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 1 Mar 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
