- Primary Endpoint
- To assess the incidence and severity of GI adverse events (AEs) and neutropenia in the first 3 months of treatment in maintenance renal transplant patients.
Study Overview
Brief Summary
Aim of study is to collect long term safety data on enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium 720 mg bid in combination with cyclosporine with/without steroids in regard to adverse events, serious adverse events, and patient and graft survival. After successful completion of the study CERL080A302, patients who previously were receiving enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium or MMF were given opportunity to remain on enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium or convert MMF to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium.
