Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a switch from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) results in improved GI- and/or health-related quality of life outcomes, and to determine the proportion of renal transplant recipients who are experiencing any GI complaints under MMF-based immunosuppressive treatment.
