Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Infections are common and associated with poor outcomes as well as high financial costs after kidney transplantation. Identifying and implementing strategies to reduce infections after kidney transplantation is important for improving patient outcomes. This study seeks to determine the feasibility of body surface area-based dosing of mycophenolate compared to standard dosing of mycophenolate in a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Body surface area-based mycophenolate dosing

Intervention group will receive mycophenolate mofetil 750 mg/m^2/day divided into twice daily dosing.

Drug: Mycophenolate Mofetil
Body surface area-based dosing of mycophenolate
Other Names:
  • Cellcept
  • Active Comparator: Standard (fixed) dosing

    Active comparator group will receive standard fixed dosing of mycophenolate mofetil 1000 mg twice daily.

    Drug: Mycophenolate Mofetil
    Standard (fixed) dosing of mycophenolate
    Other Names:
  • Cellcept
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Enrollment rate in a trial of BSA-based vs. fixed dosing of mycophenolate [6 months]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Feasibility of a trial of BSA-based vs. fixed dosing of mycophenolate [6 months]

      Assess the rate of dropout from the study

    2. Collect pilot data of efficacy in a trial of BSA-based vs. fixed dosing of mycophenolate [6 months]

      Collect pilot data on number of overall hospitalizations

    3. Collect pilot data of efficacy in a trial of BSA-based vs. fixed dosing of mycophenolate [6 months]

      Collect pilot data on infectious-related hospitalizations

    4. Collect pilot data of efficacy in a trial of BSA-based vs. fixed dosing of mycophenolate [6 months]

      Collect pilot data on incidence of leukopenia
