Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Efficiency of Intravenously Administered Cyclosporine in de Novo Liver Transplant Recipients (NCT NCT00332462)

NCT ID: NCT00332462

Last Updated: 2011-03-07

Results Overview

Number of patients with biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) within 3 months after post de novo liver transplantation. In all suspected rejection episodes an allograft biopsy was performed within a 48 hour period of initiation of an anti-rejection therapy. A designated pathologist graded the biopsies according to the Banff criteria into mild, moderate or severe BPAR.

Cyclosporine (Sandimmun®)
Period 1: Cyclosporine (Sandimmun® i.v.) intravenous given 2 times daily as an infusion over four hours staring at a dose of 2 X 200 mg/day for 7 days followed by Period 2: Sandimmun® Optoral microemulsion oral capsule twice daily starting at an initial daily dose of 8-12 mg/kg/day. Dosages were adjusted based on blood levels at two hours to achieve protocol specified target levels.
