Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Pharmacodynamic, Therapy, Pharmacokinetic

The key objective is to personalize tacrolimus treatment for children with a renal transplant by using dosing algorithms to calculate both the individual’s tacrolimus starting dose and follow-up doses.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. Secondary aims are evaluating the role of the gut microbiome in tacrolimus pharmacokinetics, and describing the tacrolimus pharmacokinetics of a once-daily tacrolimus formulation.
