Mycophenolate Mofetil in Membranous Nephropathy and Focal Segmental

October 22, 2013 updated by: Hospital Authority, Hong Kong

A Prospective Randomized Open-label Study to Compare Mycophenolate Mofetil and Corticosteroid With Conventional Immunosuppressive Treatment on Proteinuria in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy (MN) and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)

This is a prospective randomized open-label pilot study to investigate the effect of mycophenolate mofetil treatment in patients with abnormal urine protein excretion due to membranous nephropathy (MN) or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The change in urine protein excretion will be the primary outcome studied. The treatment regimen comprising prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil will be compared with prednisolone and chlorambucil in MN, and compared with prednisolone in FSGS. The study duration will be 12 months for each patient.
