Study information
Scientific title
Added 26/08/09: An open label, randomised, study to assess the efficacy and safety of Zenapax® (daclizumab) or a single high dose of Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG-Fresenius®) for the prevention of acute rejection in patients receiving de novo simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation treated with CellCept®, Neoral® and corticosteroids.
Acronym
COMPAS
Study hypothesis
Equal in efficacy to prevent (biopsy-confirmed) early graft rejection and steroid-resistant rejection episodes in the first 6 months after a first simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation.
Ethics approval
Received from local medical ethics committee

Condition
Renal transplant, Pancreas transplantation
Intervention
Randomisation for the type of induction therapy:
1. Zenapax® (5 gifts of 1 mg/kg, with a maximum of 100 mg per dose, diluted in 50 ml of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution). The first dose will be administered intravenously before reperfusion of the first allograft. Subsequent doses of Zenapax® will be given 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after transplantation.
2. ATG-Fresenius® (single high dose of 9 mg/kg, diluted in 500 ml of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution). The iv infusion starts immediately after the central line is in place and the dose will be administered before reperfusion of the first allograft.
All patients will be given 500 mg Solu-Medrol as an iv infusion thirty minutes before operation. All patients will receive mycophenolate mofetil (2 g/day), cyclosporin A (CsA) and prednisone. Dosing of CsA (target trough levels) and prednisone will be according to current hospital practice, aiming at cyclosporine trough levels of 200-300 ng/ml in the first three months, and 100-200 ng/ml thereafter.

Drug names
Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG-Fresenius®), daclizumab (Zenapax®), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (CellCept®), cyclosporin (Neoral®), prednisone
Primary outcome measure
The prevention of biopsy proven early graft rejection and steroid-resistant rejection episodes in the first 6 months after simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation.
Secondary outcome measures
1. Recurrence of autoimmune disease parameters
2. Time to first rejection, time after last prophylactic dose and number of steroid-resistant rejection episodes at 3 and 6 months after transplantation
3. Graft and patient survival
4. Immunophenotyping peripheral blood lymphocytes (CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD25 respectively)
5. Adverse events and opportunistic infections
6. After the first year, patient and graft survival and the occurrence of graft dysfunction will be monitored and documented according to local practice
