Brief Summary

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

This study will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of EC-MPS with tacrolimus at both reference and reduced levels. This study will take into account safety aspects such as decreased renal toxicity by reducing the overall exposure to tacrolimus.
