Official title

Optimizing Immunosuppression in Low-Risk Older Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients (OPTIMA-KT): A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Blinded-Endpoint Single-Site Pilot/Feasibility Trial of Biomarker-Guided Mycophenolate Mofetil Elimination

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Most kidney transplant recipients take a combination of anti-rejection medicines for the rest of their life. One of these is called mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), also known by the brand name CellCept. While MMF helps protect the kidney, taking it for many years can cause infections, low blood counts, stomach problems, and a higher risk of certain cancers, problems that older adults are especially likely to experience. We are doing this study to learn whether carefully and slowly stopping MMF in older adults who are doing well after their transplant is as safe as continuing MMF, when we use blood and urine tests to closely watch for any early signs of trouble. The information learned could help future kidney transplant patients use less medicine without losing their transplant.
