A 1-year Comparison of Generic Tacrolimus (Tacni) and Prograf in Renal Transplant Patients - a Retrospective Matched Pair Analysis, GenTac
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a retrospective analysis of two different cohorts of patients that has undergone renal transplantation. This is a matched pair analysis of 100 patients treated with generic tacrolimus that will be compared with 100 matched controls treated with Prograf. Data will be obtained from patients' charts, from the Swedish National Kidney Registry and from a local registry at Transplantationscentrum. Patients included in the study are patients receiving a first single kidney transplant from a deceased or a living donor, treated with Prograf or Tacni and transplanted between transplanted January 2012 and August 2014. The 1-year-outcome of patients following renal transplantation, including BPAR, serious adverse effects and graft survival will be analysed.
