Initial treatment of steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children with mycophenolate mofetil versus prednisone: protocol for a randomised, controlled, multicentre tr... by Burkhard Toenshoff, Martin Konrad, Steffen Luntz, Anja Sander, Peter F Hoyer, Rasmus Ehren, Marcus R Benz, Jorg Doetsch, Alexander Fichtner, Jutta Gellermann, Dieter Haffner, Britta Höcker, Bärbel Kästner, Markus J Kemper, Uwe Querfeld, Lutz T Weber

“…Despite being effective, this treatment is associated with pronounced glucocorticoid-associated toxicity due to high-dose prednisone administration over a prolonged period of time. The aim of the INTENT study (Initial treatment of steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrom in children with mycophenolate mofetil versus prednisone: protocol for a randomised, controlled, multicentre trial) is to show that an alternative treatment regimen with mycophenolic acid is not inferior regarding sustainment of remission, but with lower toxicity compared with treatment with glucocorticoids only.Methods and design The study is designed as an open, randomised, controlled, multicentre trial. 340 children with a first episode of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome and who achieved remission by a standard prednisone regimen will be enrolled in the trial and randomised to one of two treatment arms. …”

“…The thermal analysis also revealed that increasing the temperature from 100 K to 1000 K led to higher enthalpy, heat capacity, and entropy, along with a decrease in Gibbs free energy values due to enhanced molecular vibrations, contributing to the degradation and instability of p-CA. Time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) analysis revealed that solvent polarity influenced UV–Vis absorption and excited-state dipole moments, leading to significant changes in electronic transitions. …”
