- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: Primary objective:<br>The objective is to evaluate if the LCPT dose can be reduced in comparison with tacrolimus-ER and still achieve similar tacrolimus levels in the therapeutic range.<br><br><br>;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives:<br>- To evaluate if the switch design of the study leads to a lower pill burden;<br>- To evaluate if the tacrolimus switch leads to less side effects.<br>- To evaluate if the tacrolimus switch leads to less variability in trough levels.;Primary end point(s): The dose in mg of Tacrolimus-LCPT (envarsus) needed to reach adequate levels of tacrolimus trough levels in comparison with Tacrolimus-Extended-Release (advagraf).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After last patient, last visit
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): - variability of trough levels;<br>- Cmax and Tmax;<br>- Subgroup analyse of patients in need of 15mg> of Tacrolimus-Extended-Release;<br>- C/D ratio<br>- 24hour AUC levels;<br>- side effects;<br>- differences in different ethnic groups;<br>- CYP3A5 genotypes.<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After last patient, last visit.
