Summary

Treatment with the immunosuppressive drug mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) may result in gastrointestinal (GI) complications in some patients. This study will assess if a switch from MMF to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) results in improved GI and/or health-related quality of life outcomes and determine the proportion of pancreas-kidney transplant recipients who experience any GI complaints under MMF-based immunosuppressive treatment.
