Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Pharmacokinetic
To investigate the effect of calcium supplement treatment on tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil pharmacokinetics when administered together in stable kidney transplant recipients.
Secondary objectives 4
- Investigate the effect of calcium supplement on absolute bioavailability of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil
- Compare limited sampling predicted Tac and MPA AUC0-12 between venous and capillary microsamples
- To investigate associations between gut microbiota and Tac, MPA and prednisolone pharmacokinetics
- Update current population pharmacokinetic model by including absolute bioavailability and prednisolone exposure
