Standard- Versus Reduced-dose Tacrolimus Combined With Generic Mycophenolate Mofetil in De Novo Renal Transplantation

Detailed Description
A prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized and parallel-group clinical trial was conducted at four transplant centers in Korea. The total sample size was 108 and eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either study or control group. For six months study period, graft function, the incidence of efficacy failure and adverse events were compared.
The total sample size was 108 and eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either study or control group: The study group (reduced-dose tacrolimus + standard-dose MMF) or the control group (standard-dose tacrolimus + reduced-dose MMF). Restricted block randomization was applied to this study and both the enrolled subjects and care providers were blinded until randomization was done. A difference in the mean estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) of 16 mL/min/1.73m2 was considered a clinically meaningful margin of non-inferiority. A sample size of 108 for both groups was calculated for the primary endpoint by assuming a significance level of 0.025 with a power of at least 95% and adjusted for a potential dropout rate of 20%.
The primary efficacy endpoint was the renal graft function assessed with eGFR by MDRD formula at 6 months post-transplant. The secondary endpoints included (1) the incidence of treatment failure that included biopsy-confirmed acute rejection (BCAR), graft loss, death, or loss to follow-up until 6 months post-transplant; (2) recipients and grafts' survival rates; (3) 24-hour urine proteinuria and creatinine clearance at 6 months post-transplant. Recipients with clinical findings suggestive of acute rejection underwent biopsies before initiation or within 48 hours of anti-rejection therapy and biopsy specimens were graded according to Banff Classification criteria.
Safety endpoints included (1) all adverse event defined as any medical occurrence including worsening of a preexisting medical condition; (2) opportunistic infections; (3) malignancies; (4) abnormal laboratory findings; and (5) any abnormal physical findings or vital signs. Severe adverse events were defined as any adverse events with undesirable signs, symptoms, or medical conditions that met any one of the following criteria: 1) was fatal or life-threatening, 2) resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, 3) required hospitalization or the prolongation of existing hospitalization, 4) was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or 5) was an important medical event that might deteriorate the patient and require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above.18 All adverse events were coding using WHOART 2009 version.

Experimental: reduced-dose tacrolimus + standard-dose MMF
Tacrolimus dose was individually adjusted with a target trough blood level of between 3ng/mL and 8ng/mL throughout the study period (6 months after transplantation).
MMF started within 72 hours after transplantation and the dose of MMF was 1.5~2.0g
per day.

Active Comparator: standard-dose tacrolimus + reduced-dose MMF
Control group, target trough blood level was between 5ng/mL and 15ng/mL throughout the study period.
MMF dose was 0.5~1g per day and MMF started within 72 hours after transplantation.
