Envarsus XR in Lung Transplant

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Lung Transplant
Interventions
Drug: Extended-Release Tacrolimus
Drug: Immediate-Release Tacrolimus
Registration Number
NCT04420195
Lead Sponsor
NYU Langone Health
Brief Summary

Patients undergoing a lung transplant will be enrolled. All patients will undergo lung transplantation with standard post-operative management, including triple immunosuppression. As soon as the patient is deemed appropriate to take medications via the oral route, they will be converted from IR tacrolimus to Envarsus XR. Patients will be followed per site's standard of care.

Detailed Description

Lung transplantation will be performed per standard-of-care techniques. All post-transplant management, including initial triple immunosuppression, will be carried out per standard of care. Once the patient is able to take medications via the oral route, they will be converted to Envarsus XR, which will be maintained for the first year post-lung transplant.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients Remaining on Envarsus XR at 1 Year1 Year Post-Transplant

The primary endpoint is the percentage of patients remaining on Envarsus XR at the 1-year follow-up visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Freedom From Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR) at 1 YearUp to 1 Year Post-Transplant

Number of participants who did not experience ACR as of the 1-year follow-up.

Composite Rejection Standardized Score (CRSS)1 Year Post-Transplant

The CRSS is a novel measure of burden of ACR. The score ranges from 0-6; higher scores indicate greater severity of burden of ACR.

Number of Treated Episodes of ACRUp to 1 Year Post-Transplant

Number of participants with treated episodes of biopsy-proven or clinically suspected rejection requiring treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone or anti-thymocyte globulin.

Number of Participants With of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD)Up to 1 Year Post-Transplant

Number of participants with at least 1 instance of CLAD.

Number of Participants With De Novo Donor-Specific Antibody (DSA)Up to 1 Year Post-Transplant

Number of individuals in whom an antibody is detected after transplantation.

Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)Baseline, 1 Year Post-Transplant

Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) at 1 year post-transplant from pre-transplant.

Overall Survival at 1 Year1 Year Post-Transplant

The percentage of participants who are alive at 1 year post-transplant.
