Comparative Efficacy of Mizoribine With Mycophenolate Mofetil for Living Related Kidney Transplantation Recipients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This prospective, randomized controlled study is intended to enroll 152 patients in the early stages of donor kidney transplantation at six clinical centers in China between January 2023 and January 2024. All patients meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned 1:1 to either Mizoribine or Mycophenolate Mofetil for 12 months. At the baseline of follow-up (before enrollment) and each follow-up point, all clinical indicators of patients were recorded to measure the therapeutic effect.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a multi-center, prospective, non-inferior, randomized controlled clinical study. The sick individuals and their families participating in the trial voluntarily participate and sign the informed consent under the premise of fully understanding the treatment plan; The treatment plan was approved by the hospital ethics committee. A total of 152 patients from six centers nationwide will be enrolled starting from the date when the center's ethics are officially approved. The qualified recipients of donor kidney transplantation were randomly assigned 1:1 to the control group and the experimental group. The control group was treated with glucocorticoid + MPA+ tacrolimus for 12 months, and the experimental group was treated with glucocorticoid +MZR+ tacrolimus for 12 months. All subjects were followed up on the day of renal transplantation, at 1, 2 weeks and 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the operation: history collection, incidence of acute rejection, survival rate of recipients, survival rate of transplanted kidney, liver and kidney function, blood routine and urine routine; Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-DNA and BK virus (BKV)-DNA copy levels were detected in blood at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after renal transplantation to assess CMV and BKV infection. Adverse reactions were recorded during follow-up.
