Clinical Trials

Recent Clinical Trials on Cellcept:

Sometimes companies keep conducting clinical trials even after the drug's approval to discover new formulations, methods of use, or new treatment indications, so they could file for additional patents or receive regulatory exclusivity extensions, such as pediatric exclusivity, potentially delaying generic competition.
