Sirolimus Associated With Tacrolimus at Low Doses in Elderly Kidney Transplant Patients
Sirolimus Associated With Tacrolimus at Low Doses in Elderly Kidney Transplant Patients: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Study Design
This will be a single-center, prospective, 12-month randomized controlled trial aiming to compare sirolimus associated with tacrolimus in elderly renal transplant patients as to safety and incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.
Treatments
In the control group (Tacrolimus + Mycophenolate) the investigators will use tacrolimus (starting with 0.1 mg/kg twice daily adjusted to target serum levels by 4-8ng/ml at the third month and then 3-7ng/ml from the third month to the 12th month) and mycophenolate sodium 720 mg twice daily. A dose reduction of mycophenolate sodium to 720 mg/day will be accepted due to possible side effects of the drug.
In the treatment group (Tacrolimus + sirolimus) the investigators will use tacrolimus (starting with 0.1 mg/kg twice daily adjusted to target serum levels by 4-8 ng/ml at the third month and then 3-7 ng/ml from the third month to the 12th month) and sirolimus 2 mg/day (adjusted serum levels at 4-8 ng/ml throughout the study period).
In all groups, patients will receive prednisone 30 mg/day (in the first month with weekly reductions up to 5 mg/day at the end of the second month). Induction therapy consisted of basiliximab or antithymocyte globulin (Thymoglobulin, Genzyme®). Thymoglobulin will be used in patients with panel reactivity class I greater than 50 % (at a dose of 1mg/kg for 5 days).

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months
|
The primary end-point will be evaluated the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 12 months of renal transplantation.
The investigators will be measure the change in eGFR during 12 month follow-up.
Glomerular filtration rate will be estimated by the MDRD equation (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease).
|
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Incidence of cytomegalovirus Infection (CMV)
Time Frame: Weekly from baseline until the third month. After in 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months.
|
The secondary end-point will be evaluated the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.
CMV infection will be defined based on detection of CMV viral replication (CMV pp65 antigenemia more than zero) in asymptomatic patients.
CMV disease will be defined based on the evidence of CMV infection with related symptoms.
For the positive cases treatment will be carried out with ganciclovir 5 mg/kg/day twice daily adjusted for renal function for a minimum of 14 days.
|
Weekly from baseline until the third month. After in 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months.
