Retrospective Analysis on the Impact of Generic Immunosuppressants on Acute Rejection and Long Term Graft Survivals (U01)
The objective of this study is to conduct a retrospective analysis about the impact of generic immunosuppressants on short term acute rejection and long term patient graft survival since the introduction of generic immunosuppressants. The outcome of this study will help respond to public concerns regarding the interchangeability of generic immunosuppressants and improve review practices of generic immunosuppressants if necessary. The retrospective analysis will also aid in the design of prospective studies to investigate generic substitution for immunosuppressants. Detailed Descriptions: The model drugs to be studied shou...
