Resume at one dose level lower(c)

 Sepsis & any Grade 4 infection

Yes until ≤ Grade 2(d)

Resume at two dose level lower(c)

Non-hematological criteria

 Grade 3, except for: delayed puberty, growth suppression, breast atrophy, erectile dysfunction, diarrhea(e), vomiting(e), and AST/ALT increased or other biochemical laboratory abnormalities without any clinically significant sequelae

No(b)

  1. (a) If no recovery (until ≤ Grade 2) is noted after 7 days of dose modification of mycophenolate mofetil, that event will be considered as another toxicity requiring one more dose reduction; (b) Study treatment may be held whenever clinically needed (at the discretion of the PI and study team); (c) If more than 3 dose reductions are required, study treatment may be discontinued unless there is reasonable evidence of clinical benefit to justify continuation in the study; (d) If no recovery (until ≤ Grade 2) is noted after a 28-day delay, study treatment will be discontinued unless there is reasonable evidence of clinical benefit to justify continuation in the study; (e) Only if it occurs despite maximal medical treatment
