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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To investigate whether de novo immunosuppression with the extended-release formulation of Tacrolimus®, Envarsus®, reduces the incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), defined by fasting blood glucose, after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or by the use of antidiabetic drugs, compared to the standard formulation of Tacrolimus® (Prograf®), in patients at high risk of post-transplant diabetes. INCLUSION CRITERIA - 18 years or older were eligible to participate. - One of the following "metabolic criteria" must be met inter alia: a) Age ≥ 60 years or b) age < 60 years and one of these two risk factors: - Glucose intolerance (glycemia after 120min of a standard OGTT ≥140 and <200 mg/dl) - Metabolic syndrome (3 criteria): Impaired fasting glucose (100-125 mg/dl); Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥28 kg/m2; BP (>140/90, or on antihypertensive medication); Triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl; HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dl in men and <50 mg/dl in women.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This is a Phase-IV clinical trial and all participants received standard of care to minimize pain and stress. In addition, all patients participating in this clinical trial have been covered by the contracted Insurance Policy.
    Background therapy
    Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or Mycophenolic Acid Corticosteroids (methylprednisolone; prednisone) Induction therapy: Basiliximab (anti-CD25 antibody) or Thymoglobulin (depending on donor/recipient characteristics). Treatment to prevent early glucotoxicity: I.V.Insulin. Treatment of acute humoral rejection: plasmapheresis, immunoglobulins, and rituximab, alone or in combination. Drugs to prevent the most common infections: Pneumocystis jirovecii (cotrimoxazol) and cytomegalovirus (gancyclovir and valgancyclovir). Medications for dyslipidemia: statins or ezetimibe.
    Evidence for comparator
    Tacrolimus use in patients with pre-transplant risk factors such as metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance increases the risk of PTDM. The pharmacokinetics of different formulations of tacrolimus (immediate release: Prograf; sustained release: Advagraf; and the new once-daily meltdose-technology formulation LCTP-Envarsus®) have recently been compared. The LCTP formulation delays (Tmax) and reduces peak exposure (17% reduction in Cmax) and increases biodisponibility compared to Prograf and Advagraf without affecting overall exposure. This "flatter" pharmacokinetic profile of LCTP-Envarsus® compared to the other tacrolimus formulations may have clinical relevance if it is shown to result in less pancreatic beta-cell toxicity and thus a lower incidence of PTDM. In other words, there is sufficient evidence to support the hypothesis that patients at high risk of PTDM may benefit from tacrolimus pharmacokinetics with lower peak (Cmax) exposure as provided by the LCTP formulation. This may translate into a significant reduction in glycemia and glycotoxicity and ultimately the incidence of PTDM in the first three months post-transplant compared to other tacrolimus formulations.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    No firm conclusions can be drawn from this study due to its exploratory nature. Non-inclusion of a graft biopsy per protocol at the end of the study to provide a morphological substrate for the differences observed in the filtration between groups.
