First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study involved 81 children who had received an organ transplant (like kidney, liver, or heart) and were taking a standard anti-rejection drug called Prograf. Researchers wanted to see if switching to a longer-acting version called Advagraf was safe and worked just as well. The children were followed for one year, and some continued long-term follow-up to monitor their health and the drug's effects.
