- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To determine the feasibility of running a full-scale randomised phase 3 trial of Myfortic plus short course steroids (prednisolone) versus standard care in patients with Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or IgA nephropathy and to obtain preliminary comparative data on the efficacy of Myfortic plus short course steroids in inducing sustained response in patients with FSGS or IgAN.<br><br>;Secondary Objective: To determine preliminary data on the effectiveness of myfortic plus short course steroids in inducing sustained remission, reducing proteinuria and preventing progression of chronic kidney disease.<br><br>To determine treatment safety.<br>;Primary end point(s): The primary measure of efficacy will be the proportion of patients achieving complete or partial remission by 24 weeks sustained (relapse free) for 12 months.
