All Clinical Trials for MYCOPHENOLIC SODIUM
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00400647 ↗ | Gastrointestinal and Health-related Quality of Life in Kidney Transplant Patients Treated With Mycophenolate Mofetil | Completed | Novartis | Phase 4 | 2006-07-01 | This study will assess the quality of life in renal transplant recipients who require a reduced dose of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) because of gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and will also access the relationship between mycophenolic acid (MPA) dose in those patients receiving enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium formulation(EC-MPS). Patients will be evaluated at baseline, 2 weeks after study medicine conversion and then again at 12 weeks post-conversion. |
| NCT00369278 ↗ | Intensified vs. Standard Dose Therapy With Mycophenolate Sodium Plus Cyclosporin Microemulsion and Corticosteroid Combination in Patients With de Novo Renal Transplant Patients | Completed | Novartis Pharmaceuticals | Phase 3 | 2006-06-01 | This study will assess the association of an initially intensified dosing regimen of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) during the first 6 weeks post renal transplantation with acute rejections relative to the rapid achievement of an MPA (mycophenolic acid) exposure of ≥ 40 mg*h/L compared to a standard dosing regimen of EC-MPS. Additionally, this study will assess safety and tolerability of the intensified dosing regimen of EC-MPS. This study will be conducted in 2 stages (Stage I and Stage II). |
| NCT00251004 ↗ | Efficacy and Safety Study of Everolimus Plus Reduced Cyclosporine Versus Mycophenolic Acid Plus Cyclosporine in Kidney Transplant Recipients | Completed | Novartis | Phase 3 | 2005-10-01 | The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of three immunosuppressive treatment regimens following a kidney transplant. |
| NCT00167492 ↗ | Enteric Coated Myfortic for Liver Transplant Recipients | Withdrawn | Novartis | Phase 4 | 2005-09-01 | The purpose of this study is to replace the mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept) which is our usual therapy after liver transplantation with sodium mycophenolic acid (Myfortic®) and to find out the effect this change may have on the development of side effects such as relief of gastrointestinal (stomach) problems. In the past we have had to stop Cellcept (our current drug) because of these side effects. We will also try to see if improved usage of this drug (Myfortic®) will allow us to use lower doses of other medications that lower your immune system. We will do some special tests on your blood to see if the amount of the drug is related with its effect on the immune system and side effects. Both Cellcept and Myfortic® are FDA approved medications although Myfortic® is not approved for use after liver transplantation. Myfortic® is really the same active drug as Cellcept® (Mycophenolic acid) but has been coated to prevent breakdown of the drug in the stomach and is made to lower the known gastrointestinal effects of Cellcept such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and nausea. |
| NCT00167492 ↗ | Enteric Coated Myfortic for Liver Transplant Recipients | Withdrawn | The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston | Phase 4 | 2005-09-01 | The purpose of this study is to replace the mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept) which is our usual therapy after liver transplantation with sodium mycophenolic acid (Myfortic®) and to find out the effect this change may have on the development of side effects such as relief of gastrointestinal (stomach) problems.

| NCT00542763 ↗ | Mycophenolate Sodium Treatment in Patients With Primary Sjogren's Syndrome | Completed | Novartis | Phase 1 | 2005-04-01 | Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. In addition, various extraglandular manifestations may develop. Several immunomodulating agents have been attempted in the treatment of pSS without achieving satisfactory results. Currently, there is no approved systemic treatment for pSS. Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a selective inhibitor of inosine-monophosphate-dehydrogenase which leads to inhibition of the de novo pathway of nucleotide synthesis. The antiproliferative effect of MPA mainly affects activated T- and B-lymphocytes because the proliferation of these cells is critically dependent on the de novo purine synthesis compared to other eukaryotic cells. Since these lymphocytes have been suggested to play a pivotal role in the inflammation and immunopathogenesis of pSS, mycophenolate-sodium might be a promising agent in the treatment of pSS. We perform a single-centre, open-label pilot trial with Mycophenolate sodium in pSS. |
