What is being measured

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

  1. Percent of Participants With Loss-of-response During Treatment Period 2 (TP2)

    Loss of response is defined as 1 of the following, whichever occurs first:

    • Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), or
    • Allograft failure, or
    • Subject death by any cause.

    Measured: Up to 38 weeks

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Number of Participants With All-cause Allograft Failure During TP2

    Allograft failure is defined as 1 of the following:

    • Allograft nephrectomy, institution of permanent dialysis, or return to the transplant waitlist for renal transplant, whichever occurs first, OR
    • Subject death by any cause

    Measured: Up to 38 weeks

  2. Percent of Participants With All-cause Allograft Failure During TP2

    Measured: Up to 38 weeks

  3. Absolute Change From Baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate at End of Treatment Period 1 (TP1)

    Measured: Baseline and 13 weeks

  4. Absolute Change From Baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate at End of TP2

    Measured: Baseline and 38 weeks

  5. The Rate of Change of eGFR During TP2 as Defined by the Slope of the Mean Regression of eGFR Over Time at End of TP2

    The Sponsor terminated the study due to futility of enrolment. Because of the study termination, limited efficacy results are presented in this report.

    Measured: Up to 38 weeks

  6. Time to All-cause Allograft Failure Through the Follow up Period

    The Sponsor terminated the study due to futility of enrolment. Because of the study termination, limited efficacy results are presented in this report.

    Measured: Up to approximately 208 weeks

  7. Number of Responders at the End-of-TP1

    Responders were defined as subjects whose End-of-TP1 eGFR was ≥ 90% of baseline eGFR and ≥ 20 mL/min/1.73 m2.

    Measured: Up to 13 weeks

  8. Percent of Responders at the End-of-TP1

    Responders were defined as subjects whose End-of-TP1 eGFR was ≥ 90% of baseline eGFR and ≥ 20 mL/min/1.73 m2.

    Measured: Up to 13 weeks

  9. Proportion of Subjects Surviving Through the Follow-up Period

    The Sponsor terminated the study due to futility of enrolment. Because of the study termination, limited efficacy results are presented in this report.

    Measured: Up to approximately 208 weeks

  10. Percent of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) Assessed as Related to Investigational Product

    Measured: Up to approximately 42 weeks after the time of first investigational product administration

  11. Mean Pre-dose C1-esterase Inhibitor Functional Activity

    C1-esterase Inhibitor may play a role in the prevention of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) following kidney transplant. Low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor concentration and its functional activity may lead to AMR. Patients with AMR may go on to lose their kidney transplant and have other associated health risks. Levels of C1-esterase inhibitor functional activity in plasma is described as a percent.

    Measured: Up to 13 weeks

  12. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve (AUC0-t) for C1-INH Functional Activity

    C1-esterase Inhibitor may play a role in the prevention of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) following kidney transplant. Low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor concentration and its functional activity may lead to AMR. Patients with AMR may go on to lose their kidney transplant and have other associated health risks. Levels of C1-esterase inhibitor functional activity is described as a percent.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after post-dose on Day 10 and on Day 77 of Period 1

  13. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) for C1-INH Functional Activity

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after post-dose on Day 10 and on Day 77 of Period 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing C1-esterase inhibitor in people with Antibody-mediated Rejection, run by CSL Behring at 26 sites in 7 countries.

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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in United States, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany and 2 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jan 2022). 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?

Percent of Participants With Loss-of-response During Treatment Period 2 (TP2) (time frame: Up to 38 weeks). 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 NCT03221842, 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 Jul 2022.
