Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | United States: Institutional Review Board |
Study type | Interventional |
This study is a prospective interventional trial of de novo renal transplant recipients, aiming to validate a strategy which combines the use of early post transplant MPA AUC sampling, and subsequent MPA trough level monitoring to implement MPA PK monitoring in a clinically applicable fashion.
