The goal of this observational study is oo compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of different tacrolimus containing medications in liver transplant patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
Participants will not have to undergo any additional clinical visits or tests except which are required in routine clinical care
The primary aim of the study is to assess tolerability of LCPT and graft function within the 24-month observational period. Other objectives include the assessment of the intraindividual variability of the TL and TDD, the incidence of BK and cytomegalovirus infections, the incidence of graft insufficiency and acute and chronic graft rejection. There are few real-life studies available on maintenance treatment regimens in liver transplant patients throughout Europe, and these only focus on the healthcare resources' consumption. There is a lack of data describing the effectiveness of different drugs and their combinations in early maintenance immunosuppression in the real-life setting. Even less data is available of ISU (immunosuppression) drugs combinations' metabolism and its relation to effectiveness and safety, measured in liver transplant patients.
Given the above considerations we planned this non-interventional study (NIS) to assess pharmacokinetic parameters of LCPT and other tacrolimus containing medications and their relation to efficacy and tolerability in hepatic allograft recipients in a real-life setting.
