Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

13 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age greater than 13 years (age greater than 18 years as required by some local regulations).
  • Receiving immunosuppressive therapy with calcineurin inhibitors (CI) +/- corticosteroids +/- antimetabolite.
  • 6 to 144 months after orthotopic liver transplantation.
  • Cockcroft-Gault GFR values ≥40 mL/min and ≤90mL/min at screening

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of nonhepatic transplantation
  • Evidence of systemic infection (sepsis, bacteremia, pneumonia etc).
  • Known or suspected malignancy < 5 years before random assignment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline Adjusted Mean in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
Time Frame: Baseline and 12 months
GFR is an index of kidney function. GFR was calculated using Cockcroft-Gault method. A normal GFR is >90 mL/min, higher values indicate better function. Change=adjusted mean of 12 months minus baseline. Mean adjusted for baseline GFR, with antimetabolite therapy status and hepatitis C status as fixed effects.
Baseline and 12 months
Patient and Graft Survival
Time Frame: 12 months
Endpoint was a composite assessment of patient and graft survival. Patients categorized as graft survival or graft loss. Graft loss defined as pure graft loss (requiring retransplant) or death (with a functioning graft), if the event occurred in the first 12 months after randomization. Patients with missing graft data were counted as graft losses.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients With a Biopsy Confirmed Acute Rejection
Time Frame: 12 months
Overall event rate is determined as yes or no.
12 months
Mean Serum Creatinine
Time Frame: 12 months
Observed mean values for serum creatinine.
12 months

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
