Pharmacokinetics Study of Mycophenolic Acid in Patients With an Autoimmune Bullous Dermatose, Pemphigus or Cicatricial Pemphigoid.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Autoimmune Bullous Dermatose
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02993133
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Limoges
Brief Summary

The main autoimmune bullous dermatoses are pemphigus and cicatricial pemphigoid. Pemphigus is an autoimmune dermatological disease characterized by the production of anti-desmoclesin antibodies 1 and 3, affecting the skin and mucous membranes.The cicatricial pemphigoid is an autoimmune dermatological disease, characterized by the production of anti-zone antibodies of the basal membrane and characterized by a predominant mucosal involvement. Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is an increasingly used form of corticosteroid. Despite its increasing use, pharmacokinetics in autoimmune bullous dermatosis remain little studied.

GroupInterventionDescription
60 patients will be used to build and validate the systemCellcept® in autoimmune bullous dermatosesThe first 30 patients will be used to build and validate the pharmacokinetic modeling of MPA in pemphigus.The 30 patients included later will provide additional data.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of the Bayesian estimator performance8 hours

The evaluation of the Bayesian estimator performance will be based on its capacity to predict MPA AUC (Area Under the Curve), expressed as the bias (%) and the precision (root mean square error; RMSE) between the predicted AUC calculated using a limited number of samples performed in the first 4 hours post dosing and the observed AUC estimated using the reference method (trapezoidal rule method). A Bland Altman curve will be constructed.
