Study summary

This observational study will evaluate renal function in participants who underwent renal allograft transplantation and are started on combined immunosuppressive treatment containing mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept). Eligible participants will be followed for 12 months following transplantation.

Read the detailed description

The participant sampling method used in the Orange study was consecutive sampling, a non-probability sampling method where each participant meeting the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria is selected and enrolled in the study until the pre-set sample size is achieved.

Thus, in the Orange study de novo kidney transplanted participants, who were on mycophenolate mofetil immunosuppressive combination therapy in routine clinical practice, were selected in a consecutive manner (a non-probability sampling method) if they met the inclusion/exclusion criteria until 128 participants were recruited to the study.

Groups and cohorts

  • Renal Transplant Participants

    Renal transplant participants who will be subjected to a combined immunosuppressive treatment containing mycophenolate mofetil, will be followed-up until the end of the study (after 12 months), or until the participant's death, withdrawal, or lost contact with the participant, whichever occurs first. The choice of treatment will be made prior to enrolment by the treating physician. The treatment will be administered according to applicable therapeutic protocol and Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Creatinine Clearance at 1 Month After Transplantation

    Creatinine clearance is an indicator of renal function. Creatinine clearance is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine by the kidneys per unit time. Normal values for healthy, young males are in the range of 100-135 milliliters per minute (mL/min) and for females, 90-125 mL/min. Creatinine clearance decreases with age. A low creatinine clearance rate indicates poor kidney function.

    Time frame: Month 1

  2. Creatinine Clearance at Month 6 After Transplantation

    Creatinine clearance is an indicator of renal function. Creatinine clearance is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine by the kidneys per unit time. Normal values for healthy, young males are in the range of 100-135 mL/min and for females, 90-125 mL/min. Creatinine clearance decreases with age. A low creatinine clearance rate indicates poor kidney function.

    Time frame: Month 6

  3. Creatinine Clearance at Month 12 After Transplantation

    Creatinine clearance is an indicator of renal function. Creatinine clearance is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine by the kidneys per unit time. Normal values for healthy, young males are in the range of 100-135 mL/min and for females, 90-125 mL/min. Creatinine clearance decreases with age. A low creatinine clearance rate indicates poor kidney function.

    Time frame: Month 12

  4. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) at Month 1 After Transplantation

    GFR is an index of kidney function. GFR describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. A normal GFR is greater than (\>) 90 mL/min, although children and older people usually have a lower GFR. Lower values indicates poor kidney function. A GFR less than (\<) 15 mL/min indicates kidney failure.

    Time frame: Month 1

  5. GFR at Month 6 After Transplantation

    GFR is an index of kidney function. GFR describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. A normal GFR is \> 90 mL/min, although children and older people usually have a lower GFR. Lower values indicates poor kidney function. A GFR \< 15 mL/min indicates kidney failure.

    Time frame: Month 6

  6. GFR at Month 12 After Transplantation

    GFR is an index of kidney function. GFR describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. A normal GFR is \> 90 mL/min, although children and older people usually have a lower GFR. Lower values indicates poor kidney function. A GFR \< 15 mL/min indicates kidney failure.

    Time frame: Baseline, Months 1, 6, and 12

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Received Other Immunosuppressive Agents in Combination With Mycophenolate Mofetil

    Participants could have received more than one other immunosuppressive agents, at the discretion of treating physician. Percentage of participants who received 1 other immunosuppressive agent, 2 other immunosuppressive agents, and 3 other immunosuppressive agents are reported.

    Time frame: Baseline, Months 1, 6, and 12

  3. Percentage of Participants With Acute Rejection

    Percentage of participants who experienced acute rejection within 1 month of transplantation, Month 2 to Month 6 after transplantation, Month 7 to Month 12 after transplantation are reported.

    Time frame: Baseline to Month 1, Months 2 to 6, Months 7 to 12

  4. Percentage of Participants With Graft Survival

    Graft survival was defined as those participants who did not experience graft loss. Graft loss defined as physical loss (nephrectomy), functional loss (necessitating maintenance dialysis for \>8 weeks), re-transplant or death during the first 12 months after transplantation.

    Time frame: Months 1, 6, and 12
