Asian Study to Investigate Safety and Efficacy of Optimized Dosing of Advagraf in Kidney Transplantation

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Kidney Transplantation
Interventions
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.
