Clinical Trial: Prevention of Delayed Graft Function Using Eculizumab Therapy (PROTECT Study)
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: A Randomized, Parallel-group, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Study of Eculizumab for the Prevention of Delayed Graft Function After Kidney Transplantation
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if Eculizumab is safe and could be used to prevent delayed graft function following kidney transplantation.
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Alexion Pharmaceuticals
Current Primary Outcome: Incidence of DGF defined as the requirement for dialysis for any reason in the first seven days post-transplant [ Time Frame: First 7 days post Kidney Transplant ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Graft function categorized into delayed graft function, functional delayed graft function, and immediate graft function [ Time Frame: During the first 7 days post-transplantation ]
- Dialysis post-transplantation [ Time Frame: During the first 30 days post-transplantation ]
- Calculated eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) [ Time Frame: At day 28 post-transplantation ]
- Rejection free graft survival [ Time Frame: At 26 and 52 weeks post-transplantation ]Rejection free graft survival defined as not having biopsy proven acute rejection, graft loss or subject death
Original Secondary Outcome:
- Graft function categorized into delayed graft function, functional delayed graft function, and immediate graft function [ Time Frame: During the first 7 days post-transplantation ]
- Dialysis post-transplantation [ Time Frame: During the first 30 days post-transplantation ]
- Calculated eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) [ Time Frame: At day 28 post-transplantation ]
- Rejection free graft survival [ Time Frame: At 26 and 52 weeks post-transplantation ]Rejection free graft survival defined as freedom from biopsy proven acute rejection, graft loss or subject death
