Filter by:This study began in 1993 as a prospective, natural history study of renal transplant patients' medication compliance measured by using an electronic monitor on the cap of medication vials. Hypothesis: Poor medication compliance predicts adverse outcomes. Enrollment is closed.
Over the last 40 years, corticosteroids (steroids) have been an important part of drug regimens used to prevent organ rejection and to maintain the immune health of individuals who have received organ transplants. Unfortunately, the negative physical effects of steroids can be severe, especially in children. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a steroid-free treatment regimen for children and adolescents who have received kidney (renal) transplants.
In a population of kidney transplant recipients having developed a first squamous cell carcinoma, the aim of the study is to assess the incidence of subsequent skin cancers over 2 years in patients who are switched to rapamycin as compared to patients who are maintained under calcineurin inhibitors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sirolimus on the prevention of new non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in kidney transplant recipients.
This 2-arm study recruited kidney transplant patients who were receiving standard care of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs, tacrolimus or cyclosporine), CellCept (1.0-1.5 g twice daily) and corticosteroids. They were either randomized to continue this regimen, or CNI therapy was discontinued and replaced by sirolimus therapy (in combination with CellCept and corticosteroids). The effect of these 2 regimens on efficacy, safety and kidney function was evaluated. The anticipated time on study treatment was 1-2 years, and the target sample size was 100-500 individuals.
Donor pre-treatment with dopamine reduces injury to the kidney graft with consequences on the clinical performance immediately after transplantation: Donor dopamine reduces the requirement of dialysis post transplant, and results in renal function improvements. The purpose of the study is to investigate the potentially therapeutic impact of donor preconditioning with low dose dopamine in human renal transplant recipients from a brain dead donor.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of different induction agents (alemtuzumab, basiliximab or rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin) in renal transplant recipients treated with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and a rapid steroid withdrawal.
The purpose of this study is to collect local laboratory data on immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium and phosphorus levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at approximately 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the kidney transplant.
This Phase 2 study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 dose levels of CP-690,550 (15 mg twice daily and 30 mg twice) against tacrolimus, in combination with basiliximab induction, mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids, in kidney transplant patients. Stage 1 was to randomize approximately 54 subjects. After all Stage 1 subjects had completed 6 months of treatment, Stage 2 was to randomize an additional 195 subjects to the same treatment groups.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate that 3 immunosuppressant regimens will have comparable kidney function results in kidney transplant patients.
