Summary

Immunosuppressive drugs can be successfully withdrawn in a fraction of liver transplant patients. Specific peripheral blood gene expression markers can be employed to select patients with a high likelihood of being tolerant. In the current study the investigators propose to conduct a pilot non-randomized prospective study in which gradual weaning of immunosuppressive drugs will be offered to liver recipients exhibiting a favorable peripheral blood gene expression profile.
