Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease and corresponding renal graft alteration.
    Protection of trial subjects
    All study subjects were required to read and sign an informed consent form.
    Background therapy
    		 Subjects received immunosuppression with a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI; (cyclosporine A or tacrolimus), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids, with dosing according to study center practice.

    		 Percentage of Subjects with CMV Disease Within 12 months Including CMV Syndrome and Tissue Invasive Disease
    End point description
    CMV disease comprises the two components of CMV syndrome as well as CMV tissue invasive disease. CMV syndrome was defined as viremia according to plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and at least one of the following signs: fever of ≥38 °C; new or increased malaise (malaise defined as normal activity reduced >50%; cannot work or unable to care for self; leukopenia on 2 successive measurements separated by at least 24 hours thrombocytopenia; elevation of hepatic transaminases (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to at least 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN). CMV tissue invasive disease was defined as viremia according plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and clinical evidence of localized CMV infection (CMV inclusion cells or in situ detection of CMV antigen or deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] by immunostaining or hybridization, respectively), cerebral spinal fluid [CSF]) and/or relevant symptoms or signs of organ dysfunction.

    End point description
    Proteomics is the complete set of proteins expressed by an organism, tissue, or cell. The proteomics of CKD273, CMV, and nephropathy was measured on a scale between -1, indicating no graft alteration, and +1, indicating graft alteration. The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized subjects. Only subjects with data were included in the analysis. Here, 99999 indicates not calculable.

    CMV disease comprises the two components of CMV syndrome as well as CMV tissue invasive disease. CMV syndrome was defined as viremia according to plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and at least one of the following signs: fever of ≥38 °C; new or increased malaise (malaise defined as normal activity reduced >50%; cannot work or unable to care for self; leukopenia on 2 successive measurements separated by at least 24 hours thrombocytopenia; elevation of hepatic transaminases (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to at least 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN). CMV tissue invasive disease was defined as viremia according plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and clinical evidence of localized CMV infection (CMV inclusion cells or in situ detection of CMV antigen or deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] by immunostaining or hybridization, respectively), cerebral spinal fluid [CSF]) and/or relevant symptoms or signs of organ dysfunction.

    CMV tissue invasive disease was defined as viremia according plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and clinical evidence of localized CMV infection (CMV inclusion cells or in situ detection of CMV antigen or deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] by immunostaining or hybridization, respectively), cerebral spinal fluid [CSF]) and/or relevant symptoms or signs of organ dysfunction.

    End point description
    CMV disease comprises the two components of CMV syndrome as well as CMV tissue invasive disease. CMV syndrome was defined as viremia according to plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and at least one of the following signs: fever of ≥38 °C; new or increased malaise (malaise defined as normal activity reduced >50%; cannot work or unable to care for self; leukopenia on 2 successive measurements separated by at least 24 hours thrombocytopenia; elevation of hepatic transaminases (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to at least 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN). CMV tissue invasive disease was defined as viremia according plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and clinical evidence of localized CMV infection (CMV inclusion cells or in situ detection of CMV antigen or deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] by immunostaining or hybridization, respectively), cerebral spinal fluid [CSF]) and/or relevant symptoms or signs of organ dysfunction.

    Reporting group description
    		 If plasma polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ≥ 400 CMV copies/millilitre, then 1800 mg valganciclovir per day adjusted to renal function for at least 14 days until the second negative PCR (below 400 copies/ml) followed by secondary prophylaxis for 28 days with 900 mg valganciclovir adjusted to renal function. If CMV disease or no response to valganciclovir treatment after 14 days (not falling viral load), then intravenous (IV) ganciclovir or additional appropriate therapy could have been administered according to the local site’s standard, instead of valganciclovir.

    Reporting group title

    		 900 mg valganciclovir, taken orally once daily, adjusted to renal function starting within 14 days of transplantation until Day 100 after transplantation.
