Brief Summary

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

Extent of use of generics immunosuppressive drugs in clinical practice after lung transplantation

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Solid organ transplant recipients are treated with immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection of their grafts. The most frequently important maintenance immunosuppressive drugs in Europe are calcineurin inhibitors.

For a number of these compounds drug patents have expired in recent years and generic formulations have entered the market. There is considerable debate regarding the efficacy and safety of generic drug substitution in solid organ recipients.
