چکیده
Methods We launched a non-interventional study with analysis of clinical, biological and pharmacokinetic information. Full-PK profiles of MPA were modelled using an iterative two-stage approach (1). The clinical status was defined by the SLEDAI, the SLE being considered active for a score ≥6. Relationships between MPA through concentrations (C0), AUC (Area Under Curve) or AUC/ dose values, and the disease’s activity were studied using logistic regression analysis.
