Brief Summary

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

To evaluate and to compare efficacy and safety of a dual regimen with oral modified release tacrolimus FK506E (MR4) / steroids versus a dual regimen with oral tacrolimus FK506 / steroids in patients undergoing primary liver transplantation. It shall be demonstrated that FK506E (MR4) is non-inferior to FK506 with regards to the primary endpoint.
