Phase 4

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Kidney Transplant Rejection
• Interventions: Drug: Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS)

• Registration Number: NCT05872568
• Lead Sponsor: Zhishui Chen

Brief Summary

At present, imitation EC-MPS have just come on the market, no clinical studies have confirmed the efficacy and safety of using imitation EC-MPS for immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct a multicenter study in China to provide further guidance for the use of imitated mycophenol sodium enteric-coated tablets in kidney transplant patients. Therefore, this study will analyze whether the anti-rejection effect of generic EC-MPS in the treatment of renal transplantation in Chinese population is equivalent to that of the original EC-MPS, in order to provide reference for clinical rational drug use.

Detailed Description

Under the premise that tacrolimus is used as basic immunosuppressant, to explore the efficacy and safety of imitation mecophenol sodium enteric-coated tablets (EC-MPS) compared with the original preparation agent (Miv) in Chinese kidney transplant patients.

This study was divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was imitation mycophenol sodium enteric-coated tablets, and the control group was original mycophenol sodium enteric-coated tablets. Both groups were treated with the triple immunosuppressive regimen of "Mycopherol sodium enteric-coated tablets (EC-MPS) + tacrolimus (TAC) + glucocorticoid" immediately after transplantation for at least 12 months. Tacrolimus, glucocorticoid and antibody induction can be treated according to the clinical routine diagnosis and treatment path, and no specific restrictions were made in this study
