Mycophenolate Mofetil and Prednisolone Versus Prednisolone Alone in Fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: a Randomized Controlled Trial
To our knowledge, there is no randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in the treatment of HP. We aim to perform a randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of a regimen consisting of MMF and prednisolone against a regimen consisting of prednisolone alone for treating fibrotic HP. We hypothesize that the treatment of patients with fibrotic HP with MMF and prednisolone will be more effective and safer than treatment with prednisolone alone.
