4. Maintained on either cyclosporine or tacrolimus.
5. Capable of giving written informed consent and adhering to the study schedule.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Recipients who are unwilling to change to pantoprazole (from other proton-pump inhibitor or H2-antagonist) or unwilling to start pantoprazole if not already on this.
2. Patients maintained on everolimus, sirolimus or other non-calcineurin inhibitor except corticosteroids.
3. Recent change (<2 weeks) in dose of mycophenolate mofetil or enteric coated-mycophenolic sodium (EC-MPS).
4. Recent substantial change (>50% change in dosage within 2 weeks prior to inclusion) in dose of calcineurin-inhibitor (CNI).
5. Recent acute rejection requiring methylprednisolone within 1 month prior to inclusion.
6. Change in dose of corticosteroids (prednisolone) within 2 weeks prior to inclusion.
7. MDRD derived estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30mL/min or alanine amino-transaminase (ALT) >3x upper limit of normal (ULN) or aspartate amino-transferase (AST) >3xULN or bilirubin >2xULN.
8. Plan change in dosing of MMF or EC-MPS or CNI during study period.
9. Significant peptic ulcer disease or ulcerative oesophagitis where withdrawal of current acid suppression therapy is not clinically appropriate.
10. Concurrent use of magnesium and aluminium antacid or cholestyramine.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The authorized person(s) and/or research staff will receive a set of treatment allocation cards (separate cards for kidney and liver transplant recipients) with sequential randomization numbers on which the treatment group information is covered by a label or sealed within an envelope. Each number will correspond to 2 packets of study medications clearly labelled as ‘Packet 1’ or ‘Packet 2’.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation by coin-tossing
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)

Summary
Brief summary
To determine the effect of gastric acid suppression (using the proton pump inhibitor [PPI] pantoprazole) on the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in kidney and liver transplant recipients maintained on either mycophenolate mofetil [MMF] or enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium [EC-MPS]. The following outcomes will be assessed:
a. MPA area under curve (AUC).
b. Clinical outcomes including rejection, graft function and proteinuria.
