Mycophenolate Mofetil in Systemic Sclerosis: A Phase 1 Pharmacokinetic Study of Orally Ingested Mycophenolate Mofetil Tablets in Patients Suffering From Systemic Sclerosis
In Brief
An observational study evaluating P-MPA concentration and mycophenolic acid for Systemic Sclerosis and Gastrointestinal Complication. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Drug of investigation: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), given orally as a tablet twice daily. Dosage of drug: This study recruits patients who have been prescribed a steady dose of MMF in the range between 1000 and 3000 mg daily by their physician. Design: This is an open-label PK study. Disease studied: Systemic sclerosis (SSC, scleroderma). Variables assessed: Estimated AUC0-12 for MMF. Gastrointestinal manifestations of SSc. Concomitant medication. Study population: Inclusion criteria: Diagnosis of SSC fulfilling the 2013 classification criteria for this disease. Participant should have been prescribed a stable dose of MMF tablets, taken twice daily, for at least 3 months prior to the study. Exclusion criteria: Failure to comply with study protocol. Limited access to repeated venous puncture. Recipient of organ transplant. Pulmonary arterial hypertension. Number of participants: The study aims at the inclusion of 35 subjects. Primary objective: To investigate the PK of orally ingested MMF in SSC. Secondary objectives: 1. To investigate how SSC manifested in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may alter the PK of MMF. 2. To investigate how the PK of MMF in SSc is altered by medications often used in SSC, i.e. proton pump inhibitors (PPI), NSAID and calcium channel blockers.

Interventions
We will calculate AUC\_0-12 of MPA based on 4 measurements of P-MPA
Patient will ingest mycophenolic acid as prescribed by their physician under the surveillance of an investigator.
