IgA Nephropathy | Drug: Mycophenolate Mofetil Drug: ACE inhibitor Drug: Corticosteroid Drug: ARB | Phase 4 |
The subject who signed the written agreement to participate in the clinical trial evaluates the conformity and then 1: 1 randomly allocated.
The study group were taken 48 weeks with MYREPT ® capsules in combination with corticosteroids and the control group were asked to preserve the conservative treatment regimen prior to the clinical trial registration Maintenance.
The subject who started taking the study medicine will carry out the examination and procedure if it has to be carried out for the visit via outpatient clinic at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks.
