Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluate Effects and Safety of Pre-load Myfortic® in Transplant Patients (NCT NCT01336296)

NCT ID: NCT01336296

Last Updated: 2016-08-02

Results Overview

Incidence of biopsy-confirmed acute rejection by Banff '97 Criteria (updated 2007) post transplant. The acute form of T-cell mediated rejection is furthermore subclassified as follows. Since this is the most common form of rejection, it is useful to know: As with humoral rejection, there are both acute \& chronic forms: The acute form of T-cell mediated rejection is furthermore subclassified as follows. Since this is the most common form of rejection, it is useful to know: Class IA: there is at least 25% of parenchymal showing interstitial infiltration and foci of moderate tubulitis (defined as a certain number of immune cells present in tubular cross-sections). Class IB: just like Class IA except there is more severe tubulitis. Class IIA: there is mild-to-moderate intimal arteritis. Class IIB: there is severe intimal arteritis comprising at least 25% of the lumenal area. Class III: there is transmural (e.g. the full vessel wall thickness) arteritis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Difference at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year

Difference in renal function between groups at listed time points assessed by mean serum creatinine. Increased serum creatinine could indicate worsening renal function. A "normal" serum creatinine range for the transplant population varies by patient, but a typical range for Scr would be 1-2 mg/dL.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

The Banff features suggestive of chronic rejection were: a) chronic transplant glomerulopathy: Glomerular basement membrane duplication and mesangial cell proliferation, and b) vasculopathy: Fibrous intimal thickening often with fragmentation of internal elastic lamina. Chronic changes in the interstitium (ci), tubules (ct), vessels (cv), and glomerulus (cg) were likewise graded into 0, 1, 2, and 3. The severity of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, as also chronic transplant glomerulopathy and vasculopathy were used to grade chronic allograft changes.
