Brief Summary

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

A study of patient adherence and convenience to immunosuppressive agents in newly liver transplant recipients - a prospective, multi-center, open-labeled, randomized clinical trial for comparison between once-daily early conversion and twice-daily tacrolimus formulation.

Detailed Description

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

This is prospective, multi-center, open-labeled, randomized study to investigate adherence of administration of once-daily tacrolimus formulation (Advagraf®) in newly Taiwanese (Chinese) liver transplant patients. The procedure of liver transplantation will follow the site-specific procedure. Each subject will be randomized on postoperative day 15 (POD15; defined Day 14 +/- 1)
