PLUMM Trial Summary
This trial is a 1-year study with two parts. It is double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment they are receiving. The trial is comparing two different treatment approaches
Who is the study for?
This trial is for kids aged 8 to under 18 with a specific kidney condition called proliferative lupus nephritis. They must meet certain criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus, have a recent kidney biopsy confirming the diagnosis, and be able to take mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) tablets.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The PLUMM study tests two ways of dosing MMF in children with lupus nephritis: one based on body surface area and another tailored to individual drug levels in the blood. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective over a year.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of MMF include stomach upset, increased risk of infections due to weakened immune system, lower blood cell counts which can lead to anemia or bleeding problems, and potential liver issues.
