Pharmacokinetic Comparison Of All FK-506 Formulations

Registration Number
NCT02339246
Lead Sponsor
Veloxis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of three different formulations of tacrolimus.

Eligible patients will be treated with all three formulations in a pre-defined sequence.

Detailed Description

The pharmacokinetic parameters T(max), C(max) and AUC(0-24) will be compared between the three formulations Envarsus XR once daily, Astagraf XL once daily and Prograf Twice daily.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of T(Max) for Envarsus XR, Astagraf XL and Prograf.8 days

Tacrolimus whole blood concentrations obtained from the central lab was used for PK analysis. Actual sampling times was used to calculate T(max).

Nominal time points used were:

Prograf sampling strategy (21 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 18, 20, and 24.

Envarsus XR sampling strategy (18 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, and 27.

Astagraf XL sampling strategy (17 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, and 24.

Evaluation of C(Max) for Envarsus XR, Astagraf XL and Prograf.8 days

Tacrolimus whole blood concentrations obtained from the central lab was used for PK analysis. Actual sampling times was used to calculate C(max).

Nominal time points used were:

Prograf sampling strategy (21 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 18, 20, and 24.

Envarsus XR sampling strategy (18 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, and 27.

Astagraf XL sampling strategy (17 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, and 24.

Evaluation of AUC(0-24) for Envarsus XR, Astagraf XL and Prograf.8 days

Tacrolimus whole blood concentrations obtained from the central lab was used for PK analysis. Actual sampling times was used to calculate AUC(0-24).

Nominal time points used were:

Envarsus XR sampling strategy (18 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, and 27.

Astagraf XL sampling strategy (17 samples): Pre-dose (C0) and then 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, and 24.
