Evaluation of Cyclosporine Microemulsion and Tacrolimus on the Rate of New Onset Diabetes Mellitus in Kidney Transplantation Recipients
This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.
Sponsored by: Novartis
Information provided by: Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00171496
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of tacrolimus and cyclosporine microemulsion on glucose metabolism in kidney transplant recipients and the efficacy and safety in preventing organ rejection

Study Design: Prevention, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Six-Month Open Label, Multicenter, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Incidence of New Onset Diabetes Mellitus and Glucose Metabolism in Patients Receiving Cyclosporine Microemulsion With C-2 Monitoring Versus Tacrolimus After de Novo Kidney Transplantation

Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Incidence of NODM or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in de novo kidney transplant patients receiving Neoral versus in patients receiving tacrolimus within the first 6 months post-transplantation.
  • Incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR) or graft loss or death within the first 6 months post-transplantation.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Effects Neoral & tacrolimus on glucose metabolism de novo kidney transplant patients assessed by:
  • incidence of NODM or IFG within the first 3 mths post-transplantation in pts treated with Neoral or tacrolimus
  • percentage of pts with preexisting diabetes at transplantation who have a glycosylated hemoglobin level >7% at Mths 3 &6 post-transplantation
  • Change over time of mean HbA1c at mths 3 &6 post-transplantation in pts w/ preexisting diabetes at transplantation
  • percentage of pts who switched from oral hypoglycemic agents to insulin within 3 &6 mths post-transplantation
  • incidence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) as assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed at 3 &6 months
  • post-transplantation.
  • Blood pressure at Months 3& 6 post-transplantation
  • in de novo kidney transplant recipients treated w/ Neoral or tacrolimus.
  • Efficacy of Neoral &tacrolimus in de novo kidney transplant pts by the incidence of BPAR or graft loss or death within the first 3 months post-transplantation, as well as the incidence of each individual event within 3 and 6 months post-transplantation.
