A 12-month, Prospective, Randomized, Dual Center, Open Label Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Myfortic® (Mycophenolic Acid) Loading Regimens in Combination With Thymoglobulin® [Anti-thymocyte Globulin (Rabbit)] or Simulect® (Basiliximab) Induction and Prograf® (Tacrolimus) in Early Corticosteroid Withdrawal
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating mycophenolic acid for Kidney Transplant Recipients. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is specifically designed to determine whether the initiation of Myfortic 2 weeks prior to transplantation will enhance the therapeutic efficacy of Simulect induction therapy in low to moderate risk patients. Specifically, the addition of Myfortic pretransplant to Simulect induction will be compared to standard Myfortic therapy with Thymoglobulin induction starting at the time of transplant in kidney transplant recipients.
