Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate Efficacy of CellCept (Mycophenolate Mofetil) in Patients With Lupus Nephritis (NCT NCT02081183)

NCT ID: NCT02081183

Last Updated: 2014-07-17

Results Overview

Creatinine clearance in an indicator of kidney function. An increased level of creatinine in the blood indicates decreased kidney function. Normal adult values are 97 to 137 milliliters per minute (mL/min) for males and 88 to 128 mL/min for females.

Participant Flow

Protocol Approved by National Regulatory Agency on 25 October 2005 and inclusion period ended on 21 January 2008, on three investigational sites but only two sites included patients. Sites were selected in public health care systems.

Screening period include only the assessments to verified the inclusion and exclusion criteria's from ICF signature until base line visit (first dose day), no washout or run in period was expected.

Measure
Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), Prednisone
Induction Phase (Months 1 through 6): Participants received cyclophosphamide, 0.5 to (-) 1 grams per square meter (g/m\^2), intravenously (IV) once per month. Participants also received prednisone, 1 milligram per kilogram per day (mg/kg/day), tablets (or methylprednisolone IV), orally (PO); the dose was reduced by 5 mg every 2 weeks up to 20 mg/day, then reduced by 2.5 mg every 2 weeks to a final maintenance dose of 10 mg/day. Maintenance Phase (Months 7 through 12): Participants received MMF, 500 mg, tablets or capsules, PO, twice daily (BID) for 2 weeks; 500 mg, PO, three times daily (TID) for the next 2 weeks; 1 g, PO, BID for the remainder of the Maintenance Phase. Participants continued to receive maintenance prednisone (10 mg/day), as in the Induction Phase.
Cyclophosphamide, Prednisone
Induction Phase (Months 1 through 6): Participants received cyclophosphamide, 0.5 -1 g/m\^2, IV once per month. Participants also received prednisone, 1 mg/kg/day, tablets (or methylprednisolone IV), PO; the dose was reduced by 5 mg every 2 weeks up to 20 mg/day, then reduced by 2.5 mg every 2 weeks to a final maintenance dose of 10 mg/day. Maintenance Phase (Months 7 through 12): Participants received cyclophosphamide, 0.5-1 g/m\^2, IV, once every 3 months. Participants continued to receive maintenance prednisone (10 mg/day), as in the Induction Phase.

Protein in urine is an indicator of kidney function. An increased urinary protein level indicates decreased kidney function. Normal values are approximately 0 to 8 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

Serum creatinine is an indicator of kidney function. Creatinine is a substance formed from the metabolism of creatine, commonly found in blood, urine, and muscle tissue. It is removed from the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine. An increased level of creatinine in the blood indicates decreased kidney function. Normal adult blood levels of creatinine are 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL for females and 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL for males, however the normal values are age-dependent as elderly participants typically have smaller muscle mass.

Albumin is a protein made by the liver. A serum albumin test measures the amount of this protein in the clear liquid portion of the blood. Decreased serum albumin levels can be an indicator of liver and/or kidney disease, The normal range is 3.4 - 5.4 grams (g)/dL.
