Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The trial is conducted in patients who have received a liver transplant, were prescribed tacrolimus to prevent organ rejection and developed diabetes from 3 month post-transplantation onwards. The goal of the trial is to assess the percentage of patients in whom diabetes will resolve 6 month after conversion from tacrolimus to cyclosporine micro-emulsion as measured by a fasting blood glucose \< 1,26 g/l without the need of hypoglycemic treatment.
