Skin Cancer Prevention With Nicotinamide in Transplant Recipients - Pilot Trial (SPRINTR-Pilot)
April 4, 2023 updated by: Women's College Hospital
Nicotinamide Chemoprevention for Keratinocyte Carcinoma in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Pilot, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Trial
A common long-term side effect of anti-rejection (immunosuppressant) medications is skin cancer.
This pilot clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of conducting a larger pivotal trial to examine the efficacy and safety of nicotinamide for prevention of keratinocyte carcinoma in solid organ transplant recipients.
This pilot trial will transition into the pivotal trial if all feasibility targets are met.

|
Preliminary pooled keratinocyte carcinoma event rate
Time Frame: 1 year
|

|
1 year
|
Drug interactions
Time Frame: 1 week
|
Proportion of patients with a clinically relevant increase in cyclosporine or tacrolimus blood concentration at 1 week.
An increased level will be classified as clinically relevant if the transplant physician reduces the immunosuppressant dose in response to the increased drug level.
|
1 week
|
Drug interactions
Time Frame: 2 weeks
|
Proportion of patients with a clinically relevant increase in cyclosporine or tacrolimus blood concentration at 2 weeks.
This measurement will be dropped if all cases of clinically relevant drug interactions manifest at 1 week in the first 20 enrolled participants.
