Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with sirolimus, in combination with low-dose tacrolimus and prednisone, is effective for the treatment of chronic allograft nephropathy (progressive scarring) in children who have previously received a kidney transplant. This treatment is compared to the standard therapy which uses low-dose tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisons. This study is a pilot study that will determine whether treatment with sirolimus reduces or improves the rate of scarring seen on kidney biopsy of the transplanted kidney over time, compared to children who continue to be treated with mycophenolate mofetil.
Alemtuzumab is a man-made antibody used to treat certain blood disorders. This study will evaluate treatment of kidney transplant recipients with alemtuzumab and other immune system suppressing medications with or without infusions of bone marrow stem cells from the kidney donor. The purpose of this study is to find out which strategy is more effective in preventing organ rejection and maintaining patient health.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of tacrolimus and cyclosporine microemulsion on glucose metabolism in kidney transplant recipients and the efficacy and safety in preventing organ rejection
The purpose of the study in de novo renal transplant patients is to evaluate the effect on renal function of an optimized new regimen in comparison with the standard everolimus exposure plus a low-dose cyclosporine microemulsion regimen.
The study is a one-year prospective, open-label, safety and efficacy study. De novo renal transplant recipients will be receiving cyclosporine, 1.44g EC-MPS (720 mg b.i.d.), and corticosteroids .The study will consist of a 12-month open-label treatment period on EC-MPS.
The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of EC-MPS b.i.d, with Cyclosporine microemulsion and steroids in pediatric de novo renal transplant patients. Safety and doses variations are also evaluated.
This open, single arm, explorative study aims to investigate the evolution of gastrointestinal adverse events after switch from MMF to EC-MPS in organ transplanted patients suffering from gastrointestinal adverse events while on MMF therapy.
The purpose of this study is to quantitate pre-transplant medication compliance, dialysis compliance, and related psychological variables, and then examine their validity as predictors of post-transplant noncompliant behaviors and clinically relevant outcomes (acute rejection, graft loss, or death). Hypothesis: Noncompliance with pre-transplant medication or with the dialysis prescription, and specific psychological variables predict similarly noncompliant behaviors after transplantation.
This is a randomized controlled intervention trial in poorly compliant patients, testing whether improved compliance behavior decreases rates of acute rejection risk and graft loss. Hypothesis: A study of an intensive intervention focused on the least compliant patients and beginning 3 months post-transplant. Effective intervention will reduce the number of acute rejection episodes and thus the occurrence of chronic rejection and graft loss.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Campath following Tacrolimus monotherapy is more effective in the prevention of renal graft rejection (considering an acute rejection rate of 5% for Campath-1H/Tacrolimus and of 22% for Tacrolimus/MMF/Steroids).
