Mycophenolate Mofetil Versus Azathioprine in Patients With Chronic Active Ulcerative Colitis: A 12-Month Pilot Study

Abstract

Treatment with AZA/prednisolone appears to be more effective and safe compared to MMF/prednisolone in patients with chronic active UC. MMF might be an alternative treatment for patients with contraindications to AZA. To further evaluate the effects of MMF in active UC, a placebo-controlled double-blinded study appears warranted.
