A Study to Analyze Tacrolimus Metabolism in Heart Transplant Patients

Overview

About this study

The puprose of this study is to evaluate pharmacogenomic differences of CYP 3A5 in heart transplant patients, to determine dose ranges and pharmacodynamics properties of tacrolimus metabolism based on CYP 3A5 genotype/phenotype combinations, and to assess whether CYP3A5 polymorphism influences post-transplant outcomes including survival, rejection and infection rates.
