Sponsor's own description
A controlled randomized, open-label, multi-centre study evaluating if an immunosuppressive protocol, based on ATG-induction, once daily tacrolimus-dose (Advagraf®), mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroid reduces the incidence of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation, in comparison with a standard cyclosporin-based protocol.
