Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how fast children, who have had a recent kidney transplant, absorb, breakdown and eliminate mycophenolic acid (CellCept) following their prescribed dose. The results may lead to better dosing based on individual needs.


Clinical Trial Description

This is an open-label, inpatient-outpatient population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) study of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in pediatric subjects (age 2-17 years) who have had a recent kidney transplant, as well as during the stable renal transplant period when on a stable oral regimen of MPA. The primary objective of this study is to develop population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models for mycophenolic acid (MPA) and mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) in order to improve individualized pediatric dosing. Subjects will have been receiving CellCept as part of their clinical standard of care. It is anticipated that the clinical portion of the study for each patient will be approximately six months post renal transplant with four study days: a screening visit pre-transplant, two 10-hour inpatient days at 2-3 and 6-9 days post-transplant, and one (up to 10 hour) outpatient visit at 3-6 months post-transplant. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic measurements will be conducted at various time points (up to 9 hours post dose) on study days 2, 3, and 4. Safety data to be collected will include physical examinations, measurement of vital signs, and laboratory assessments, as well as data on adverse events and clinical outcomes. ;
