Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Methotrexate | Methotrexate: All methotrexate doses will be taken orally once per week in a divided dose (half in the morning, half in the evening), and should be taken with food. For the first two weeks, a loading dose of 15 mg/week orally will be administered to assess tolerability. After two weeks, the dose will be ramped up to 25 mg/week until the end of follow-up or until treatment failure due to intolerability, adverse events, or of lack of efficacy. If the study ophthalmologist decides to reduce the study treatment dose due to intolerability, the dose will be reduced to 20 mg per week while maintaining masking. If side effects persist and the study ophthalmologist wishes to reduce the dose a second time, the dose will be reduced to 15 mg per week. | 0 | 41 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Mycophenolate Mofetil | Mycophenolate mofetil: Mycophenolate mofetil will be taken twice daily on an empty stomach. For the first two weeks, a loading dose of 500 mg/BID orally will be administered to assess tolerability. After two weeks, the dose will be ramped up to 1 g/BID until the end of follow-up or until treatment failure due to intolerability, adverse events, or lack of efficacy. If the study ophthalmologist decides to reduce the study treatment dose due to intolerability, the dose will be reduced to 750 mg/BID while maintaining masking. If side effects persist and the study ophthalmologist wishes to reduce the dose a second time, the dose will be reduced to 500 mg/BID. | 1 | 39 | EG001 |
