Primary Endpoint
The percentage of children within the target C0 range of tacrolimus (10-15 ng/mL) on day 3 after kidney transplantation following algorithm-based dosing

Overview

Brief Summary

The key objective is to personalize tacrolimus treatment for children with a renal transplant by using dosing algorithms to calculate both the individual’s tacrolimus starting dose and follow-up doses.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages
0 years to 17 years (0-17 Years)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 2-18 years old
  • Patients to be transplanted with a kidney allograft
  • Patients receiving a kidney from a blood group ABO-compatible donor
  • Patients who will receive tacrolimus as part of their initial immunosuppressive therapy
  • Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Recipients of a non-renal organ transplant at the same occasion
  • Recipients of a blood group ABO-incompatible kidney allograft
  • Recipients of an HLA-incompatible kidney allograft (positive cross-match)
  • Recipients receiving tacrolimus as immunosuppressive treatment within the preceding 28 days.
  • Recipients using medication known to have a pharmacokinetic (drug-drug) interaction with tacrolimus (see Appendix I, table 1 for specification).
  • Extra exclusion criteria for participation in study part B: Children who are not able to swallow a once-daily tacrolimus capsule
  • Extra exclusion criteria for participation in study part B: Children with changes in the administration of drugs interacting with tacrolimus around the switch to the once-daily formulation.
