Anidulafungin vs Amphotericin B Safety in High Risk Hepatic Transplant Recipients (AVALTRA)

May 29, 2014 updated by: Fundacion SEIMC-GESIDA

Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label Clinical Trial to Compare Anidulafungin Versus Amphotericin B Safety in High Risk Hepatic Transplant Recipients

The study is a randomized, open-label safety study comparing the use of anidulafungin (200 mg i.v. as initial dose and 100 mg/d i.v. in subsequent doses) vs liposomal amphotericin B (3 mg/kg/d i.v.) in hepatic transplant recipients who have high risk of fungal infection.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Renal impairment/renal function deterioration
Time Frame: 14 days
Compare the development of renal imparment or deterioration of baseline renal function in hepatic transplat recipients who receive anidulafungin or liposomal amphotericin B

14 days

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.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Treatment discontinuation
Time Frame: 14 days
Compare the proportion of patiens who discontinue antifungal profilaxis in both arms
