About this study

Official title: Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Lisinopril in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients

The drug lisinopril is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, and acute heart attacks in adult patients. In children over 6 years of age, lisinopril is approved for the treatment of high blood pressure. Lisinopril is in a group of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE). ACE inhibitors such as lisinopril work by decreasing certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels so blood flows more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently.

There is some information available about how children with high blood pressure absorb, distribute, metabolize, and eliminate lisinopril (this information about medication processing by the body is called pharmacokinetic data). However, there is no information about how children with high blood pressure who have received a kidney transplant process lisinopril. In addition to decreasing blood pressure, investigators believe that lisinopril may help kidney transplants work longer by reducing the activity of chemicals made by cells in kidney transplants that can lead to inflammation and injury. Such benefits have not been found with another group of blood pressure medications called calcium channel blockers, which are the most commonly used medication group to control high blood pressure in children after a kidney transplant. A clinical trial will be conducted in the future to compare which medication group helps kidney transplants in children last longer. To guide the selection of the best dose to test in future studies, investigators in this study will try to determine the safety profile, dose tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of lisinopril in children and adolescents (2-17 years of age) who have received a kidney transplant and have high blood pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC)

    At the Day 14 (±3 days) visit, blood (1 mL) will be collected at 0 hour (pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-lisinopril dose for determination of AUC. Geometric mean was calculated from all measurements.

    Measured: Day 14 (+/- 3 days) of lisinopril therapy at hours 0 (pre-dose) and 1,2,4,5,8,12 and 24 hrs after dose

  2. PK - Maximum Observed Concentration of Drug in Plasma (Cmax)

    At the Day 14 (±3 days) visit, blood (1 mL) will be collected at 0 hour (pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-lisinopril dose for determination of Cmax. Geometric mean was calculated from all measurements.

    Measured: Day14 (+/- 3 d) of dose at 0 hour and 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12, and 24 hrs after dose

  3. PK - Time of the Maximum Observed Concentration in Plasma (Tmax)

    At the Day 14 (±3 days) visit, blood (1 mL) will be collected at 0 hour (pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-lisinopril dose for determination of plasma lisinopril concentration. Medium was calculated from all measurements.

    Measured: Day 14 (+/- 3 d) of dose at 0 hour and 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12, and 24 hrs after dose

  4. PK - Oral Clearance (CL/F)

    At the Day 14 (±3 days) visit, blood (1 mL) will be collected at 0 hour (pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-lisinopril dose for determination of CL/F. Geometric mean was calculated from all measurements.

    Measured: Day 14 (+/- 3 d) of dose at 0 hour and at 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12, and 24 hrs after dose

  5. PK Renal Clearance (CLrenal)

    At the Day 14 (±3 days) visit, blood (1 mL) will be collected at 0 hour (pre-dose) and at 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-lisinopril dose for determination of CLrenal. Geometric mean was calculated from all measurements.

    Measured: Day 14 (+/- 3 d) of dose at 0 hour and 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12, and 24 hrs after dose.

  6. Number of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During/After Study Drug Administration

    Number of Adverse Events (AEs) related and not related to study drug; number of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) related and not related to study drug

    Measured: First dose of study drug to 30 days after final study visit for AEs and until resolution for SAEs

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change in Potassium Level From Baseline in Lisinopril-naive Participants

    Potassium values will be obtained at Baseline and Day 14 prior to the final dose of study drug. Mean calculated from the two measurements.

    Measured: At baseline visit and Day 14 prior to final study dose.

  2. Worse Post-dose Decrease in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) From Baseline in Lisinopril-naive Participants

    The eGFR at entry will need to be ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73m^2 to minimize concerns about an acute angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I)-mediated reduction in kidney function. eGFR ratio was computed from the worst post-dose value divided by the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 14 (+/- 3 days)

  3. Largest eGFR Percent Decrease From Baseline in Lisinopril-naive Participants

    The eGFR at entry will need to be ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73m^2 to minimize concerns about an acute angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) mediated reduction in kidney function.

    Largest eGFR percent decrease from baseline reported in results section.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 14 (+/- 3 days)

  4. Change in Urine Protein/Creatinine From Baseline in Lisinopril-naive Participants.

    Change in urine protein/creatinine obtained as follows: Mean change (worst post-dose from baseline) presented for urine protein/creatinine ratio. Geometric mean of the ratio (worst post-dose / baseline with Geometric Coefficient of Variation percent (CV%) and greatest decrease presented for eGFR by dose group. Two patients in the high dose group had an evaluable urine protein/creatinine change.

    Measured: Baseline to worst post-dose before Day 14 (+/- 3 days)

  5. Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure From Baseline in Lisinopril-naive Participants

    Ambulatory blood pressure readings were measured during the baseline/pre-study dose period using a SpaceLabs (Redmond, WA) device at home to avoid the confounding effects of venipuncture and abnormal sleep pattern.

    Another blood pressure reading was performed at 1 day before the final dose of lisinopril (day before the last scheduled visit).

    The mean of these measurements was calculated.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 14 (+/-3 days)

  6. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline in Lisinopril-naive Participants

    Ambulatory blood pressure readings were measured during the baseline/pre-study dose period using a SpaceLabs (Redmond, WA) device at home to avoid the confounding effects of venipuncture and abnormal sleep pattern.

    Another blood pressure reading was performed at 1 day before the final dose of lisinopril (day before the last scheduled visit).

    The mean from these measurements was calculated.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 14 (+/- 3 days)

  7. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (BP) From Baseline in Lisinopril SOC Group

    Lisinopril SOC participants were not given the ambulatory blood pressure machine to obtain readings at home, as was the Lisinopril-naive participants. Instead BP measurements were obtained during screening visit and compared to the Day 14 to 40 visit measurements. Note: these participants were not required to attend a Day 14 (+/-3 day visit) but did need to attend sometime between Day 14 to Day 40 (inclusive). The mean of these blood pressure measurements was calculated.

    Measured: Screening to Day 14 to 40

  8. Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure From Baseline in Lisinopril SOC Group

    Lisinopril SOC participants were not given the ambulatory blood pressure machine to obtain readings at home, as was the Lisinopril-naive participants. Instead BP measurements were obtained during screening visit and compared to the Day 14 to 40 visit measurements (note: the participants were not required to attend a Day 14 (+/-3 day visit) but did need to attend sometime between Day 14 to Day 40. The mean from the blood pressure measurements was calculated.

    Measured: Screening to Day 14 to 40
