Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of this study was to compare the drug compliance in patients after renal transplantation under once or twice-daily tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen.

The rationale for this study is to access the influence of once-daily prolonged-release tacrolimus versus standard twice-daily tacrolimus on drug compliance in renal transplantation recipients base on the assumption that once-daily dosing regimen may help to improve drug compliance.


Clinical Trial Description
