Asian Study to Investigate Safety and Efficacy of Optimized Dosing of Advagraf in Kidney Transplantation
- Registration Number
- NCT02161237
- Lead Sponsor
- Astellas Pharma Inc
- Brief Summary
Primary purpose of this study is to compare renal function between subjects receiving optimized dose Advagraf® over 52 weeks after kidney transplantation and subjects receiving standard dose Advagraf®. Pilot results of safety and efficacy in optimized dose Advagraf® over 52 weeks after kidney transplantation will also be obtained.
