Endpoints
Safety profile of Enteric-coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS) on Lupus nephritis patients [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
The primary endpoint is the safety of EC-MPS in LN patients, which will be assessed via the adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and deaths.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
Reasons for study drug discontinuation [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
To describe the reasons for study drug discontinuation, including poor response, loss to follow-up, etc.
Proportion of patients with a complete response [ Time Frame: month 6, month 12 ]
Patients will be reported to have a complete response if their proteinuria is < 0.5 g/24 hours; or UPCR≤ 0.5.
Proportion of patients with a partial response [ Time Frame: month 6, month 12 ]
Patients will be reported to have a partial response if they experience any one criteria as follows:
At least 50% decrease from baseline in proteinuria. Note: patients with a baseline proteinuria of >3.5 g/24 hours, must have a proteinuria < 3 g/24 hours;
Red blood cells per high power field (RBCs/HPF) ≤50% above baseline and no RBC casts;
At least 50% decrease in UPCR or to <1.0 (if 1.0 ≤ baseline ≤3.0) or to ≤3.0 (if baseline was >3.0).
Proportion of patients achieving renal response in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [ Time Frame: month 6, month 12 ]
The proportion of patients achieving renal response in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
(eGFR within the normal range, or no less than 85% of baseline)
Proportion of patients achieving inactive urinary sediment [ Time Frame: month 6, month 12 ]
The proportion of patients achieving inactive urinary sediment (no cellular casts)
Inclution Criteria
Aged ≥ 20 years and ≤ 75 years at screening.
Patients with written informed consent form.
Male or female diagnosed with SLE.
Confirmed diagnosis of LN by physician. Diagnosis of LN is defined as:
a. Kidney biopsy within 1 year, with histological diagnosis of LN (class III/IV/V)
Laboratory evidence of active nephritis: spot UPCR>0.5, and/or proteinuria > 0.5 g/24 hours, and/or greater than 3+ by dipstick, and/or cellular casts.
Patients with LN who received EC-MPS for the first time. The patients who switched from other treatment and treatment naive patients (did not received any treatment before) can be included in this study.
Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception before beginning EC MPS therapy, during therapy, and for six weeks after their last dose of EC MPS.
Exclusion Criteria
Previous or planned kidney transplant.
Currently receiving continuous dialysis or GFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 within 3 months prior to the start of study.
Patients with active serious digestive system disease, including infrequent cases of gastrointestinal tract ulceration with hemorrhage or perforation.
Patients currently with life threatening conditions including malignancies, or severe infection in recent 6 months prior to start of study
