Brief Summary

This study's objective is to evaluate the incidence rate of acute rejection reactions after 24 weeks treatment with ADVAGRAF® following 3 months treatment with tacrolimus in new liver transplant recipients. Treatment conversion will take place from twice daily tacrolimus to once daily tacrolimus (ADVAGRAF) 3 months after transplant in new liver transplant recipients.

Conditions

Liver Transplantation

Keywords

ADVAGRAF®; liver transplantation; tacrolimus

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence rate of biopsy confirmed acute rejection

  Incidence rate of acute rejection reactions (%) = number of subjects with at least one acute rejection reaction 1)/total number of subjects in the relevant analysis set \* 100

  24 weeks within

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Severity of biopsy confirmed acute rejection

  within 24 weeks

• Survival rates of subjects and transplanted organs

  at 24 weeks

• compliance

  at 24 weeks

Study Arms (1)

ADVAGRAF®

EXPERIMENTAL

One arm: Treatment conversion will take place from twice daily tacrolimus to once daily tacrolimus (ADVAGRAF) 3 months after transplant in new liver transplant recipients.

Drug: ADVAGRAF®

Interventions

ADVAGRAF® DRUG

Administration method The total daily dose of tacrolimus will be converted to 1:1 (mg:mg) and the total daily dose of ADVAGRAF® will be administered only once daily in the morning, starting from Day 1 (at least one hour before breakfast or 2 to 3 hours after breakfast). * Dose adjustment after conversion On Day 1, the total dose will be converted to 1:1. It is recommended to check the blood concentration of tacrolimus at each visit and adjust the dose to achieve the blood concentration maintaining at 5\~8ng/ml for 0 to 3 months and then at 5ng/ml or below for 3 to 6 months of study treatment. * Duration of treatment The investigational product will be administered for 24 weeks.
