A study to compare how the body absorbs and processes two different formulations of the anti-rejection medication tacrolimus (Advagraf® or Prograf®) in children receiving an organ transplant, and how safe and effective they are over a longer period of time

A Phase II, Parallel Group, Randomized, Multicentre, Open Label Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of Tacrolimus in De Novo Pediatric Allograft Recipients Treated with an Advagraf or Prograf Based Immunosuppressive Regimen, Including a Long-Term Follow-Up - Not applicable

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the systemic exposure (AUC0-24h) of tacrolimus for Advagraf® versus Prograf® after the first dose and following repeated administration in pediatric subjects undergoing de novo allograft transplantation of kidney, liver or heart.;Secondary Objective: To observe the long-term safety and efficacy profile of tacrolimus for Advagraf® with that of Prograf® in pediatric subjects undergoing de novo allograft transplantation of kidney, liver or heart.;Primary end point(s): Primary Pharmacokinetic Variables • The systemic exposure (AUC0-24h at each of Day 1, Day 7 and Day 28) of tacrolimus after first dose and under steady state conditions. Primary Safety Variables • AEs • Laboratory parameters • Vital signs;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: AUC0-24h at each of Day 1, Day 7 and Day 28. Long term safety at 2, 3, 6 and 12 months.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Pharmacokinetic Variables The following PK parameters for tacrolimus will be determined for each profile • Cmax • tmax • C24 Efficacy Variables • Rejection episodes • Subject and graft survival ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PK variables at Day 1, Day 7 and Day 28 Long term efficacy variables at 2, 3, 6 and 12 months.
