Study Description

Brief Summary

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of two CellCept-containing treatment regimens in de novo liver transplant patients. Patients will be randomized into one of two groups, to receive either CellCept (at a starting dose of 3g/day po, adjusted according to exposure) standard dose tacrolimus and corticosteroids (10-15 mg/kg i.v. on day 0), or fixed dose CellCept 2g/day po, standard dose tacrolimus and corticosteroids (10-15mg/kg i.v. on day 0, then reducing from 20mg to 5mg over 6 months, and discontinuing after 6 months). The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Treated Biopsy Proven Acute Rejection (BPAR) According to Banff Criteria up to 12 Months Post-Transplant [Days 0, 5, and 14, Month 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12, 28 days after Month 12 or last dose of study treatment, and 6 and 12 months after the last dose of study treatment]

      Banff criteria required at least 2 of the 3 following features for a histopathological diagnosis of acute rejection: portal inflammation, bile duct inflammation, and venous endothelial inflammation. Each item was graded from 0 to 3 where 0 equals (=) mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The sum of the 3 individual scores, from 0 to 9, corresponded to the Rejection Activity Index (RAI). If RAI = 0, 1, or 2, there was no evidence of rejection. If RAI = 3, there was borderline acute rejection. If RAI = 4 or 5, there was mild acute rejection. If RAI = 6 or 7, there was moderate acute rejection. If RAI = 8 or 9, there was severe acute rejection.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Graft Loss [Days 0, 5, and 14, Month 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12, 28 days after Month 12 or last dose of study treatment, and 6 and 12 months after the last dose of study treatment.]

      Graft survival was defined as the time between the randomization date and the graft loss date. Participants were censored at the date of last follow up, the date of last contact or premature withdrawal, and date of death.

    2. Graft Survival [Days 0, 5, and 14, Month 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12, 28 days after Month 12 or last dose of study treatment, and 6 and 12 months after the last dose of study treatment.]

      The median time, in months, between randomization and graft loss event. Participants were censored at the date of last follow up, the date of last contact or premature withdrawal, and date of death.

    3. Overall Survival (OS) at Month 12 - Percentage of Participants With an Event [Days 0, 5, and 14, Month 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12]

      OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and death up to Month 12. Participants were censored at the date of last follow up and the date of last contact or premature withdrawal.

    4. Overall Survival at Month 12 [Days 0, 5, and 14, Month 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12]

      The median time, in months, between randomization and OS event. Participants were censored at the date of last follow up and the date of last contact or premature withdrawal.

    5. Percentage of Participants by Graft Histology at 12 Months Post-Transplant - Central Review [Days 0, 5, and 14, Month 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12]

      The percentage of participants with biopsies of grafts evaluated by central review and scored according to Banff criteria at Month 12 post-transplant.

Participants also received tacrolimus capsules, adjusted to a target trough level of 8-12 ng/mL from Day 0 through Month 1; the dose was adjusted to reach a target trough level of 3-8 ng/mL from the end of Month 1 through Month 12. Participants also received an IV bolus of methylprednisolone 10-15 mg/kg pre-operative on Day 0 per standard practice of the center. Participants received MMF capsules or tablets, 2 g/d, PO, BID with meals from Day 0 to Month 12; tacrolimus capsules, adjusted to a target trough level of 8-12 ng/mL from Day 0 to Month 1; the dose was reduced to reach a target trough level of 3-8 ng/mL from the end of Month 1 through Month 12; and IV bolus of prednisone, 10-15 mg/kg, pre-operative on Day 0 followed by prednisone tablets, 20 mg/d, PO, from Day 0 through Month 1; 15 mg/d, PO, from the end of Month 1 through Month 2; 10 mg/d, PO, from the end of Month 2 through Month 3; and 5 mg/d from the end of Month 3 through Month 6. Prednisone was discontinued from Month 7 through end of treatment.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Adverse events were recorded from study start to 28 days after Month 12 or the last dose of study treatment.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description All participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of MMF and/or corticosteroids were included in the safety analysis. Nonserious adverse events presented in this record include all adverse events reported during the study, not just nonserious events.
