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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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
    PHASE I: The primary objective of Phase I of the study was to demonstrate that the pharmacokinetics of Tacrolimus Hexal® assessed by the ratio of the AUC0-12h over a 1-month period post-transplantation is comparable to Prograf® in renal transplant patients. PHASE II (included patients enrolled in Phase I): The primary objective of Phase II study was to demonstrate non-inferiority in renal function assessed by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (Nankivell formula) between both treatment arms at Month 6 post-transplantation in renal transplant patients. The Phase II of the study was not conducted; therefore endpoints of Phase II were additionally evaluated for the patients of Phase I.
    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.

    End point description
    Change in Nankivell glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from baseline to 6 months Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): The GFR is the best clinical estimate of renal function in health and disease, and correlates well with the clinical severity of renal function disturbances. Several studies have shown that in patients with progressive renal disease, GFR declines or reciprocal serum creatinine levels elevate linearly over time in a predictable manner. With the help of the serum creatinine values, the GFR was calculated via Nankivell formula.

    The incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), graft loss and death until Month 6 and Month 12 (Full Analysis Set)
    End point description
    The key secondary objective was to assess the incidence of individual endpoints BPAR, graft loss and death at Month 6 post-transplantation. The secondary objective for Phase I was to assess the incidence of treatment failure (defined as BPAR, graft loss or death) between the 2 arms at Month 1 post-transplantation. Phase II of the study was not conducted and so this analysis was not performed.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    06 Mar 2014
    Clarified in page 18 that highly effective contraception methods included total abstinence(when this was in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject). Whereas periodic abstinence e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation and withdrawal were not acceptable methods of contraception. Clarified in page 25 that results from routine blood laboratory evaluation directly assessed before Treatment (i.e. within 24h prior to Treatment) was used instead of further baseline laboratory evaluation. No second assessment implying second drawing of venous blood was to be done. Appendix 4: updated on drugs that may alter tacrolimus concentrations. Appendix 7: visual faculty test- clarified if the investigator suspected neurological symptoms visual faculty test was to be performed. According to investigator’s opinion to guarantee patients safety detailed neurological diagnostics conducted by a qualified person (e.g. neurologist) was to be performed. Page 49 Sample Size Calculation: Clarified that since the primary objective in Phase I of this study is the PK-analyses, the number of 27 patients in each arm was required for the PP-PK Set. Randomization was continued until this number of patients was available with complete and evaluable PK-measurements. At the time of this amendment, the drop-out rate was about 30%, that required about 40 patients/arm (= 80 total instead of 30 patients/arm) to be randomized into this study for Phase I. All patients enrolled for phase I of the study were to be included in the total sample size for phase II of the study, given the study continued into phase II.
    04 Feb 2015
    In response to German Health Authority’s request, the protocol was modified to implement most recent notifications for use of MPA based on the dear health care professional letter (DHCPL) that was sent out for CellCept by Roche on 12 Dec 2014. In detail the study medication stopping rules were adopted to clearly follow the recommendations given in the DHCPL. This information was added to Sections 6.6.3 and toAppendix 16.1.1-Protocol-Appendix 5.
    30 Mar 2015
    Phase II of the study was not to be started, rationale for this decision was the high patient drop-out rate and an associated long recruitment timespan. Eighty-one patients were recruited to Phase I and only 45 of the required 54 patients were available for PK analysis. To complete Phase II, 245 (in addition to 81) patients were to be required to achieve calculated sample size. Therefore the protocol was amended to stop recruitment and analyze Phase I patient data of CERL080ADE27 (PK-Phase I). Patients that were still ongoing were scheduled for an end of study (EOS) visit. During this visit patients were informed by the investigator about the endof study and advised about further treatment course.
