Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is to evaluate the effect of Mycophenolate Mofetil compared with losartan alone on time to doubling of serum creatinine or the onset of end stage renal disease in patients with advanced IgA nephropathy who are treated with the maximal tolerated daily dose of losartan.The study will also assess the effects of MMF compared with losartan alone on the changes of urine albumin excretion and the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate.
