In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an autoimmune disease with low incidence rate and involving the pancreas. In China, type I AIP is predominant. Glucocorticoids (GC) have a significant therapeutic effect. Even though a consensus has been reached on the effective initial GC treatment dose, type I AIP is prone to recurrence after GC induction and maintenance therapy. Currently, there is no consensus on how to reduce the disease recurrence rate in high-risk type I AIP patients. Multiple studies have shown that immunosuppressants (IM) combined with GC can effectively reduce the disease recurrence rate in IgG4 RD patients, including azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), etc. Among them, the incidence of adverse reactions in MMF is relatively low. As a special type of IgG4-RD, there is currently no prospective study evaluating the efficacy and safety of GC combined with MMF treatment in hi
