Study on the Safety and Efficacy of a Time-of-Day-Based Individualized Tacrolimus Dosing Regimen in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Conditions: End-Stage Renal Disease
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 70 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE4
Enrollment: 100
Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University
Location: The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University Guangzhou Guangdong
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether chronopharmacokinetic model-guided individualized unequal twice-daily tacrolimus dosing improves renal allograft function and reduces acute rejection in stable kidney transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does chrono-individualized tacrolimus dosing preserve graft renal function (eGFR) compared with conventional equal twice-daily dosing? Does chrono-individualized tacrolimus dosing lower the incidence of acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients? Researchers will compare recipients receiving chronopharmacokinetic-guided "low morning, high evening" individualized tacrolimus doses to recipients receiving conventional equal twice-daily tacrolimus doses to see if the chrono-individualized regimen improves renal function and reduces acute rejection risk.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to one of two tacrolimus dosing groups at a 1:1 ratio Receive routine immunosuppressive therapy and follow-up for 12 months Undergo blood sampling for tacrolimus concentration, calcineurin activity and multi-omics biomarker detection Complete regular clinical assessments of graft function, adverse events and rejection episodes
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Sex not restricted, age 18-70 years (inclusive)
* First living-donor or deceased-donor kidney transplantation
* For deceased-donor transplantation, kidneys from donation after brain death (DBD)
* ABO blood type compatibility between donor and recipient
* Negative panel reactive antibody (PRA) result within 6 months before surgery
* Post-transplant immunosuppressive regimen must be the triple regimen of TAC + mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)/mycophenolate sodium (MPS) + glucocorticoids
* More than 3 months after kidney transplantation, with stable graft function
* Stable TAC dose regimen and Ctrough results, and stable concomitant medication regimen
* Voluntarily participate in the clinical study, fully understand the study and voluntarily sign the informed consent form (ICF), and be able to complete all study procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
* Multiple organ combined transplantation
* History of prior organ transplantation other than the kidney
* History of acute rejection after transplantation, or currently receiving treatment for acute rejection
* Evidence of active systemic or localized infection
* Currently severe diarrhea, vomiting, active peptic ulcer, or other gastrointestinal diseases affecting TAC absorption
* Allergy to TAC or its ingredients, or other contraindications precluding the use of TAC
* Pregnant women, or women of childbearing potential who plan to become pregnant
* Use of strong CYP3A inhibitors or strong inducers within 2 weeks before first dosing, or short-term use during the study
* Poor recipient compliance, or other conditions judged by the investigator to make the participant unsuitable for enrollment
