Conditions

Ischaemia-reperfusion injury associated with renal transplantation Injury, Occupational Diseases, Poisoning Failure and rejection of other transplanted organs and tissues

Interventions

Interventions as of 21/04/2016: Participants are randomly allocated to Mirococept (Active IMP) or Soltran (Placebo). Randomisation will be carried out in blocks
stratified by centre, type of donor (DCD/Donation after Brain Death (DBD)) and machine pump use. Immunosuppression therapy, antibiotic and antiviral prophylaxis will be administered as per local centr
10mg
15mg
20mg and 25mg. The adaptive allocation will be based on a t-test (like) statistic that compares the difference between responses (accumulated) at the current dose, with the mean response at placebo pl

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Outcome measure as of 21/04/2016: Delayed graft function measured by recording the need for dialysis in the first 7 days following transplantation. Previous primary outcome measure: To reduce Delayed Graft Function (DGF) as estimated by the number of patients requiring dialysis in the first week.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome measures as of 21/04/2016: 1. Duration of delayed graft function is measured by recording the need for dialysis at all follow up assessments (up to 12 months) 2. Mean calculated GFR measured using MDRD at 12 months 3. Mean calculated GFR measured using Cockcroft-Gault at 12 months 4. Functional delayed graft function is measured by the absence of decrease in serum creatinine of at least 10% per day for at least 3 consecutive days in first week post-transplant Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. To include reducing the delay of recovery in those grafts with immediate function independent of dialysis 2. To determine if treatment influences renal function/histology at 12 months (a surrogate of long term graft outcome) and acute rejection episodes during this time
