Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess whether IR-Tac and ER-Tac exhibit a different magnitude of drug-drug interaction after co-administration of voriconazole in lung, kidney, pancreas or heart transplant recipients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To describe all relevant PK parameters for IR-Tac and ER-Tac, their fold-change after azole initiation and the relevant azole PK parameters (which are: Cmax, dose-adjusted Cmax, Cmin, dose-adjusted Cmin, Tmax, t1/2). - To describe whether pharmacogenetic genotype and inflammatory markers have an additional influence on tacrolimus and azole pharmacokinetics - To investigate whether and with what extend the interaction diminishes over time after discontinuation of the interacting drug, as measured with Cmin/dose ratio - To evaluate how tacrolimus dose should be adjusted at start and discontinuation of the voriconazole, and how many dose adjustments are needed for both formulations | — |
