Eligibility Criteria
Patients after a first unilateral or bilateral lung transplant start treatment with rapid-release tacrolimus every 12 hours (IR-Tac formulation) and, after achieving a stable dose and before 3 months, switch to once-daily LCPT tacrolimus. These treatments will have been prescribed by the investigator following usual clinical practice, with no relation to inclusion in this study.
You may qualify if:
- Patients ≥18 years old.
- Patients who have received a first unilateral or bilateral lung transplant.
- Patients who have started oral treatment with tacrolimus using the LCPT formulation, with a once-daily dosage within the first 3 months post-transplant.
- Patients with a treatment duration expected to be ≥12 months.
- The patient (or their representative) can sign the informed consent to participate in the study.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who have received a multi-organ transplant or have a history of any organ transplant, including lung.
- Patients with an estimated survival of \<12 months
- Patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
- Patients diagnosed with scleroderma.
- Patients diagnosed with a systemic disease affecting the digestive system.
- Patients in any situation or condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes participation inadvisable, such as any treatment that may interfere with the study.
- Pregnant women, those planning to become pregnant, or those who are breastfeeding.
- Patients who are unable to complete the study.
- Patients who have not signed the informed consent.
