Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Month 12

Assessment of renal function by comparing change from randomization to Month 12 in eGFR (MDRD4) between treatment arms (Full analysis set). Renal function was assessed by estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. MDRD formula: GFR \[mL/min/1.73m˄2\] = 186.3\*(C˄-1.154)\*(A˄-0.203)\*G\*R. DEFINITIONS: C = serum concentration of creatinine \[mg/dL\]; A = age \[years\]; G = 0.742 when gender is female, otherwise G = 1; R = 1.21 when race is black, otherwise R = 1

Frequently asked questions about Prograf or Neoral

What is Prograf or Neoral used for in kidney transplantation?

Prograf or Neoral is used for kidney transplantation. It is a small molecule being developed by Novartis AG for patients receiving a kidney transplant. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for this indication, with one completed Phase 3 trial involving 828 participants.

What does Prograf or Neoral target?

Prograf or Neoral targets the immune system to prevent organ rejection in kidney transplant recipients. As a small molecule, it works by modulating immune responses, which is critical for the success of kidney transplantation. The drug is being evaluated for its efficacy and safety in this patient population.

Who makes Prograf or Neoral?

Prograf or Neoral is developed by Novartis AG, a global pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker NVS. Novartis is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's use in kidney transplantation, with the most recent trial being a Phase 3 study.

What phase is Prograf or Neoral in?

Prograf or Neoral is in Phase 3 clinical development for kidney transplantation. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trial, NCT01114529, has been completed, and the drug is still undergoing evaluation for this indication.

What clinical trials is Prograf or Neoral in?

Prograf or Neoral has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial, NCT01114529, titled 'Efficacy, Safety and Evolution of Cardiovascular Parameters in Renal Transplant Recipients.' This trial enrolled 828 participants across multiple countries, including the United States, Germany, and India, and was an active-controlled, randomized study.

Is Prograf or Neoral the same as tacrolimus or cyclosporine?

Prograf or Neoral are brand names for immunosuppressant drugs used in kidney transplantation. Prograf is the brand name for tacrolimus, and Neoral is the brand name for cyclosporine. Both are calcineurin inhibitors that help prevent organ rejection in transplant patients.
