About this study

Official title: The Effect of Esomeprazole Versus Pantoprazole on Serum Cyclosporine Levels and Renal Function in Stable Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Randomized Clinical Trial

prospective, parallel, open-label clinical trial was performed on forty-seven adult renal transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy with CsA doses adjusted to attain trough concentrations of 100-150 μg/L, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) at 750 mg q12 hr and prednisolone at 5 mg daily randomized into two groups, which received esomeprazole or pantoprazole at the same dose (40 mg once daily). To compare the influence of pantoprazole and esomeprazole on serum cyclosporine (CsA) levels in stable renal transplant recipients.Cyclosporine (C0), renal function and complete blood count were measured at baseline and for 6 months. Main outcome measures Clinical signs of rejection and renal function decline, assessed by serum creatinine elevations, caused by CsA level variations in either of the study groups.

Read the detailed description

Study design and settings: This study is a prospective, single-centre, randomized, parallel, open-label 1:1 consecutive clinical trial of renal transplant recipients, with a follow-up 6 months; the study included an esomeprazole group (n = 25 at study completion) and a pantoprazole group (n = 22 at study completion). The study was conducted in the renal transplantation unit of the Nasser Institute in Cairo, Egypt.

Eighty renal transplant recipients were screened for eligibility. The sample size was determined by a power calculation using G power software version 3.0.10; the selected sample size showed an actual power of 0.95, α = 0.5 and an effect size of 0.8 for C0 levels of CsA and an actual power of 0.95, α = 0.5 and an effect size of 0.44 for serum creatinine levels.The participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups by single randomization. Each group received PPI therapy with a 40 mg/day dose of either esomeprazole (Ezogast; Copad Pharma, Cairo, Egypt) in group I (n = 25 at study completion) or pantoprazole (Pantoprazole; Pharo Pharma, Alexandria, Egypt) in group II (n = 22 at study completion).

In addition, participants continued to receive the immunosuppressant combination of CsA (Sandimmune; Novartis, East Hanover, NJ, USA), MMF (Cellcept; Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and the corticosteroid prednisolone (Solupred; Sanofi Aventis, Tours, France).

Administration: CsA was administered in two divided doses adjusted to achieve a C0 of 100-150 µg/L according to the transplantation centre protocol for maintenance blood CsA levels. The morning was dose separated from PPIs by at least 15 minutes, with MMF administered at 750 mg q12 hr and prednisolone administered at 5 mg daily. Each group received 40 mg/day PPI therapy on an empty stomach, and all medications were taken orally.

Renal function tests Included Parameter Assay Kits Serum creatinine QuantiChrom creatinine assay kit Blood urea nitrogen QuantiChrom urea assay kit Serum uric acid QuantiChrom uric acid assay kit Complete blood count measurements included Parameter Assay Kits Haemoglobin White blood cells (WBCs) UniCel DxH 800 Coulter Cellular Analysis System Platelets

Whole-blood C0 values in morning samples were determined spectrophotometrically using the CEDIA Cyclosporine PLUS Assay and the Indiko Plus Benchtop Analyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esomeprazole 40 mg and Pantoprazole 40mg in people with Kidney Transplant; Complications, run by Future University in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 24 Jan 2019. 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.

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?

Serum CsA (C0) level (time frame: up to 30 weeks from date of randomization untill date of any documented change in the serum concentration). 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 24 Jan 2019.
