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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this trial was to demonstrate superiority of a CNI free regimen with respect to renal function at Month 12 post-transplant assessed by GFR (Nankivell method) as compared to the standard regimen in de novo kidney transplant patients.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. Rescue medication was permitted in the following circumstances: Biopsy-confirmed acute rejection episodes were to be treated with i.v. methylprednisolone at a recommended dose of 500-1000 mg for three days. Infection prophylaxis treatment was permitted for patients at high risk of CMV (a CMV positive donor organ transplanted into a CMV negative recipient). Hyperlipidemia medications to lower lipids (e.g., fluvastatin, Lescol®) were to be administered for patients with increased LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    817 patients were screened and 802 were enrolled on Day of transplant which served as Baseline Visit 1. For three months post transplantation, in the pre-phase period, all patients received induction therapy (Simulect®) and immunosuppressive therapy consisting of Myfortic, Sandimmun Optoral and corticosteroids.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    At month 3 post transplant, Baseline Visit 2, additional eligibility was assessed and patients randomized to one of 3 treatment arms and stratified according to kidney donor (living or cadaveric).

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: This study had two baselines. The first baseline was day of transplant. Subjects received a standard regimen and Simulect® and were followed for 3 months. At month 3, subjects' eligibility was re-evaluated for randomization. Baseline 2 (Month 3) was used for the analysis.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The number of subjects who entered the follow-up phase was greater than the number that completed the previous phase. The milestones were created to capture the number of subjects who entered the follow-up phase which included subjects who discontinued early from the randomization phase and non-randomized subjects. Non-Randomized subjects had received the Standard regimen drug treatment.
    [3] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.

    Adverse Events are collected from First Patient First Visit (FPFV) until Last Patient Last Visit (LPLV).  All Adverse events are reported in this record from First Patient First Treatment until Last Patient Last Visit.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Consistent with EudraCT disclosure specifications, Novartis has reported under the Serious adverse events field “number of deaths resulting from adverse events” all those deaths, resulting from serious adverse events that are deemed to be causally related to treatment by the investigator.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 Jan 2008
    Amendment was issued approximately 6 months after FPFV changed the lower target therapeutic limit for Certican whole blood trough levels in the CNI free regimen from 6 ng/ml to 5 ng/ml, addressed the assessment and follow-up of patients after Month 12/ End of Study (recording of information) and the SAE reporting of patients in the extension period.
    26 Jan 2009
    Amendment added a post-text supplement to describe optional biomarker assessments to be performed as a sub-study.
    01 Feb 2010
    Amendment addressed the documentation of AEs, concomitant medication and immunosuppressive medication for patients who were or were not randomized. Additionally, several inconsistencies within the protocol were corrected.
    16 May 2011
    Amendment addressed the SAE reporting of patients suffering from rejection.
    27 Oct 2011
    Amendment was issued when recruitment was 100% complete and addressed the follow-up of patients who were not randomized and who were to be followed up in the former version of the protocol for additional four years. These patients never received the foreseen treatment in the protocol and therefore no additional information would be generated.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Milestones were added to Subject Disposition for subjects entering and completing the extension period which included randomized subjects from treatment period and non-randomized subjects from Pre-phase Period.
