Study objectivesThe improved tolerance of Myfortic® when compared to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) permits higher dosing and improved disease control in multisystem autoimmune disease (MSAID)
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Oxfordshire Research Ethics Committee C, reference number: 05/Q1606/140
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMultisystem autoimmune disease
InterventionMyfortic® tablets versus mycophenolate tablets given to treat multisystem autoimmune disease

PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Myfortic, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)
Primary outcome measurePrimary efficacy:
Therapeutic failure: either disease flare or failure to achieve remission at six months (both defined by disease activity scores)
Primary tolerability:
Inability to tolerate target MMF or Myfortic® dose
Secondary outcome measures1. Disease activity (British Isles Lupus Assessment Group [BILAG] or Birmingham Vasculitis Assessment Score [BVAS]) area under curve
2. Time to disease remission or time to disease flare
3. Cumulative prednisolone dose
4. All adverse events
5. Severe adverse events
6. Infections
7. Change in 36-item short-form questionnaire (SF-36) between 0 and 6 months and between 0 and 12 months
