RCT Comparing Immunosuppressive Regimens in Elderly Renal Transplant

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Open label, randomized, multicenter, intervention trial comparing standard immunosuppression with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil with a low exposure tacrolimus regimen in combination with everolimus. The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that an age-adapted immunosuppressive regimen targeted at reduced immunosuppression with low calcineurin inhibitor (tacrolimus) exposure in combination with everolimus will result in improved outcome in elderly recipients of A: Kidneys from older deceased donors (>64 years) and B: Kidneys from living donors (all ages) and younger deceased donors (<65 years).

Clinical Trial Description

In this study two immunosuppressive regimes will be tested; In both groups basiliximab induction will be applied. Additionally, the standard therapy consisting of prednisolone, mycophenolic acid and tacrolimus once-daily (Envarsus®), or the comparator in which mycophenolic acid will be replaced by everolimus combined with strongly reduced levels of tacrolimus once-daily (Envarsus®). When not tolerated,tacrolimus may be replaced by ciclosporin. The hypothesis is that reduced calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) exposure in combination with everolimus will lead to improved allograft function, a reduced incidence of complications and improved quality of life. This study will consist of two strata: Stratum A: Elderly recipients (≥65 years) of kidneys from elderly deceased donors (≥65 years) within the Eurotransplant Senior Program. Stratum B: Elderly recipients (≥65 years) of kidneys from living donors (all ages) or deceased donors (<65 years). The primary endpoint will be "successful transplantation" which is defined as survival with a functioning allograft with a minimum estimated GFR of 30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in stratum A and 45 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in stratum B, after 2 years. The study will be performed by the Dutch transplant centers and the Dutch Kidney Patient Organization (NVN) will participate. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
