A Multicenter, Open-label, Exploratory Study to Evaluate the Efficiency of Intravenously Administered Cyclosporine During the First 7 Days Post Transplant Followed by Treatment With Cyclosporine Micro Emulsion in de Novo Liver Transplant Recipients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Cyclosporine (Sandimmun® i.v.) and Cyclosporine (Sandimmun® Optoral) for Liver Transplantation. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this exploratory study is to evaluate the rejection rate in patients treated with cyclosporine (CsA) preceding oral administration of cyclosporine micro emulsion in de novo liver recipients. The blood levels of CsA and CsA micro emulsion will be monitored by C-2h monitoring. In addition, this study will assess the safety of this treatment regimen.
