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   44335   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study was to compare the systemic exposure (AUC0-24h) of tacrolimus for Advagraf versus Prograf after the first dose and following repeated administration in patients undergoing primary heart, lung, pancreas (including simultaneous pancreas kidney (SPK)) transplantation.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical study was written, conducted and reported in accordance with the protocol, ICH GCP Guidelines, and applicable local regulations, including the European Directive 2001/20/EC, on the protection of human rights, and with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki. Astellas ensures that the use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) obtained during a research study complies with the federal, national and/or regional legislation related to the privacy and protection of personal information.
    Background therapy
    The Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) Advagraf and Prograf were provided by the Sponsor. Antibodies (Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) was recommended), Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) and corticosteroids were not considered IMP in this study and were not provided by the Sponsor, but were provided by the local hospital pharmacy. Antibody Induction: the first dose of antibody induction therapy was to be given intravenously (IV) within 24 hours after skin closure. The initial dose and any later dose adjustments followed the routine practice of the center. The recommended dosing regimen for MMF was as follows: a loading dose of 1g of MMF given pre-operatively. The first post-operative dose of MMF administered within 72 hours following reperfusion. The daily dose of 2g given orally and split into two doses (equals 1g twice daily) for the first 14 days. Thereafter the daily dose was reduced to 1g given in two doses (equals 0.5g twice daily). From day 42 the dose of MMF was in accordance with the routine practice of the center. Corticosteroids: day -3 (500mg or less i.v. bolus pre, intra or post-operatively), day -2 (125mg i.v. bolus) for heart transplantation recipients. Day -1 (500mg or less i.v. bolus pre, intra or post-operatively), day 1 (125mg i.v. bolus) for lung/pancreas/SPK recipients. Prednisolone or equivalent: day -1 to 14 (20mg/day), day 15 to 28 (15mg/day), day 29 to 42 (10mg/day), Day 43 to 407 (≥ 5mg/day) for heart transplantation recipients. Day 2 to 14 (20mg/day), day 15 to 28 (15mg/day), day 29 to 42 (10mg/day), Day 43 to 407 (≥ 5mg/day) for lung/pancreas/SPK recipients.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    This multinational, multicenter study was conducted at 6 contracted sites in a total of 5 countries: Austria, France Italy (2 sites), Taiwan and United Kingdom. Due to poor recruitment the study was terminated early.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligibility took place baseline day -3 and day -2 prior to day 1/Visit 1 for heart transplant recipients and on day -1 for lung/pancreas/SPK recipients. Screening assessments: patient data, pregnancy test, donor/organ data, surgical details, physical examination (including body weight), vital signs and routine laboratory evaluations were performed.

    Advagraf® was defined as study drug, considered IMP and provided by the Sponsor, available as hard gelatin capsules with 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg and 5 mg of tacrolimus. Dosing of Advagraf: heart transplant recipients: initial dose was 0.075mg/kg/day given orally (one dose), administered at 3 days (72 hours) post skin closure (Day 1) in the morning. Lung transplant recipients: initial dose was 0.075mg/kg/day given orally in one dose, administered in the morning following skin closure. Pancreas/SPK transplant recipients: initial dose was 0.2 mg/kg/day orally (one dose), administered in the morning following skin closure. Subsequent doses were taken orally once a day only in the morning. Advagraf was taken on an empty stomach or at least one hour before or 2 to 3 hours after meal. Dose adjustments were based on clinical evidence of efficacy/occurrence of adverse events (AEs)/observing the following recommended Tacrolimus blood trough levels: Day 1-42 10-20 ng/ml, Day 43-407 5-15 ng/ml.
