Scientific titleA randomised prospective trial of daclizumab induction followed by sirolimus in association with mycophenolate mofetil and steroids versus standard cyclosporin based triple therapy for rejection prophylaxis in renal transplantation
Study objectivesA calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) free regimen offers equivalent safety and efficacy to that of a CNI regimen and may offer improved long-term graft survival.
Ethics approval(s)Liverpool Research Ethics Committee, 06/11/2002, ref: 02/07/124/A
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEnd stage renal failure patients undergoing renal transplantation.
InterventionCyclosporin, Mycophenolate Mofetil and steroids in the control arm of the trial.
Active arm patients received Sirolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, steroids and Daclizumab induction.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Daclizumab, Sirolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Cyclosporin
Primary outcome measureTo determine whether a CNI free regimen provides improved renal function at 6 and 12 months post-transplant as compared with a conventional Cyclosporin based regimen in renal transplant patients. This will be assessed by comparing the differences in renal function between the groups, as measured by a creatinine clearance (calculated glomerular filtration rate [GFR], Cockroft & Goult).
Secondary outcome measuresTo compare the impact of a CNI free regime, if any, on:
1. Subsequent transplant outcome
2. Patient and graft survival
3. Infectious complications
4. Post-transplant malignancies

To compare the impact of a CNI free regime if any on:
1. Rejection rates at 6 & 12 months post-transplantation
2. Incidence and rate of recovery of post-transplant acute tubular necrosis
3. Incidence of drug-induced side-effects
4. Incidence and severity of post-transplant hypertension
5. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in relation to graft survival and malignancy (Manchester data only)
Overall study start date26/11/2002
Completion date24/06/2009

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
Lower age limit18 Years
SexBoth
Target number of participants40 from each site - total of 80
Key inclusion criteria1. Patients must be over age 18
2. Patients must be recipients of a first, second or subsequent kidney transplant from a cadaveric or HLA mismatched live donor
3. Patients receiving a second or subsequent transplant must have maintained their primary graft for a minimum of 6 months, except if graft failure was due to technical reasons
4. Written informed consent
5. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test before commencing the trial and agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the treatment period and for 3 months after discontinuing the trial
Key exclusion criteria1. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs
2. Prohibited prior or concomitant medications
3. Pregnant women or nursing mothers
4. White blood cell count (WBC) count <3000/mm^3 or platelets <75,000/mm^3 at time of study entry

8. Evidence of infiltrate, cavitation or consolidation on chest X-ray (CXR) obtained during pre-study screening
9. Recipients of marginal donor kidneys such as paediatric < age 2, terminal serum creatinine >220 µmol/l, preservation time >48 hours, recipients of adult dual kidney transplants
10. Current participation in another trial or participation in another trial within the last 30 days
11. Highly sensitised recipients according to plasma renin activity (PRA) >50%
12. Any other concurrent cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, pulmonary or haematological conditions that would restrict the administration of Cyclosporin, Sirolimus, Mycophenolate, steroids or antilymphocytic agents, in the opinion of the Investigator
