September 11, 2018 updated by: Technical University of Munich

A Multicentre, Prospective, Non-Interventional Study to Assess the Intra-patient Variability of Tacrolimus Once and Twice Daily After Kidney Transplantation

Aim of this study is to investigate whether in patients following kidney transplantation (>6 months after transplantation), the intra-patient variability of levels of tacrolimus is comparable after administration of tacrolimus twice daily (Prograf) to tacrolimus once daily (Advagraf), with each regimen for 3 months.
