Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (Myfortic®) in combination with low-dose corticosteroids (Decortin H®) compared to a monotherapy with low-dose corticosteroids (Decortin H®) in subjects with chronic intraocular inflammation (non-infectious intermediate uveitis).


Clinical Trial Description

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), a pro-drug containing mycophenolic acid (MPA) as active agent, is approved for the treatment of acute graft rejection after kidney-, heart- and liver-transplantation, and was shown in 1995 to be effective in inhibiting the development of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis. Further studies proved it to be a safe and effective steroid-sparing immunomodulatory for reducing the recurrence rate of non-infectious intermediate uveitis in humans. Although the adverse effect profile of MMF is comparatively benign, gastrointestinal adverse effects are a major concern and may limit its clinical benefit, because they may necessitate dose reduction, interruption, or even discontinuation of MMF.

An enteric-coated formulation of mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS, Myfortic) has been developed especially to reduce MPA-related gastrointestinal adverse events. This clinical trial is a prospective controlled study to evaluate whether a Myfortic based regimen will be able to reduce the probability of a relapse compared to steroid therapy alone and to test whether a Myfortic based therapy provides a superior behaviour compared to a steroid regimen. ;
