Efficacy and Safety of a Combination of Mycophenolate Mofetil and Corticosteroid in Advanced IgA Nephropathy (AIGA)

November 30, 2016 updated by: Beom Seok Kim, Yonsei University

Multi-center, Randomized, Open Label, Comparative, Phase IV Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a Combination of Mycophenolate Mofetil and Corticosteroid for 48 Weeks in Advanced IgA Nephropathy

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of that test group was administered with Mycophenolate Mofetil in combination with corticosteroid in patients with advanced IgA nephropathy. The control group will be observed for up to 48 weeks without administration of Mycophenolate Mofetil.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The subject who signed the written agreement to participate in the clinical trial evaluates the conformity and then 1: 1 randomly allocated.

The study group were taken 48 weeks with MYREPT ® capsules in combination with corticosteroids and the control group were asked to preserve the conservative treatment regimen prior to the clinical trial registration Maintenance.

The subject who started taking the study medicine will carry out the examination and procedure if it has to be carried out for the visit via outpatient clinic at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks.
