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   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7294   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.

    Clinical Trial Results:
    A controlled randomized, open-label, multi-centre study evaluating if a steroid-free immunosuppressive protocol, based on single dose ATG-induction, low tacrolimus-dose and therapeutic drug monitoring of mycophenolate mofetil, reduces the incidence of new onset diabetes after transplantation, in comparison with a standard steroid-based protocol with low-dose tacrolimus.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The cumulative incidence of NODAT (new onset of diabetes after transplantation) 12 months after transplantation as defined by the ADA-criteria (2012). Arm A. Steroid-free low-TAC arm: Thymoglobuline® induction (2,5 mg/kg, pre-/peroperatively day 0, 2,5 mg/kg day 1) + Advagraf® (conc.: 5-10 ng/ml, after 3 months 4-7, started postop. day 1) + MMF 1gx2 (controlled by a single AUC measurement day 7 with a target AUC between 40 and 60 mg.h/L) + steroids day 0 (250 mg methylprednisolon iv. before start of Thymoglobuline infusion and day 1 50 mg methylprednisolon iv. before start of Thymoglobuline infusion) Arm B. Standard low-TAC arm: Simulect® induction 20mg (day 0 and day 4) + Advagraf® (conc.: 5-10 ng/ml, after 3 months 4-7ng/ml, started per hospital practice) + MMF 1gx2 (controlled by AUC measurements to 40-60 mg.h/L) + steroids according to hospital practice but not less than 5 mg prednisolone daily after 6 months.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Interim safety analyses (looking at composite measure of freedom from acute rejection, graft survival, and patient survival) was conducted when 50 patients had been observed for 6 months. The Data Monitoring Committee performed safety analyses and had authority to recommend discontinued inclusion in the study to the sterring group. Please see synopsis for more information.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    222 subjects were planned to be enrolled in total; 224 were actually randomized and 222 received a transplant as well as at least one study medication and attended at least one follow-up visit.

    Blinding implementation details
    Blinding is not relevant as this was an open study. However, patient identity and treatment assignment were concealed to the Primary Endpoint Committee, two independent nephrologists who assessed the accuracy of the PTDM diagnosis, and to two pathologists, who centrally evaluated all transplant biopsies.
