Inclusion criteria

* Patients ≥18 years old. * Patients who have received a first unilateral or bilateral lung transplant. * Patients who have started oral treatment with tacrolimus using the LCPT formulation, with a once-daily dosage within the first 3 months post-transplant. * Patients with a treatment duration expected to be ≥12 months. * The patient (or their representative) can sign the informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients who have received a multi-organ transplant or have a history of any organ transplant, including lung. * Patients with an estimated survival of \<12 months * Patients diagnosed with cystic fibrosis * Patients diagnosed with scleroderma. * Patients diagnosed with a systemic disease affecting the digestive system. * Patients in any situation or condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes participation inadvisable, such as any treatment that may interfere with the study. * Patients who are participating or have participated in an interventional research study within 30 days prior to inclusion. * Pregnant women, those planning to become pregnant, or those who are breastfeeding. * Patients who are unable to complete the study. * Patients who have not signed the informed consent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To evaluate the most relevant pharmacokinetic parameters of tacrolimus metabolism and their relationship with clinical effectiveness and safety .1 year of follow upCmin Tacrolimus dose

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To assess clinical effectiveness (acute rejection).1 yearmultiple measurements will be aggregated: Humoral rejection (circulating antibodies: number of patients and number of episodes) Acute clinical rejection (ACR); number of patients and number of episodesChronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD); number of patients.
To assess lung function (spirometry).1 yearSpirometry: Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) ml, percent of Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC ratio.
To assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of LCPT ( concentration/dose ratio (C/D)).1 yearTacrolimus Cmin Tacrolimus dose Inter-patient tacrolimus variability. multiple measurements will be aggregated
To assess the most frequent complications in lung transplant.1 yearAssessment of immune activity indicators Patients with de novo Donor-Specific Antibody (dnDSA) detected after transplant - has or does not have (yes or no).
To assess adverse events.1 yearAdverse Events (AEs), Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). AEs of special interest \[assessed in case report form (CRF) on a case-by-case basis\]: thrombotic microangiopathy (incidence after transplant); Reversible posterior encephalopathy (incidence after transplant); Pulmonary thromboembolism.
To assess renal function (glomerular flow rate).1 yearglomerular and flow rate
