Once-daily Regimen With Envarsus® to Optimize Immunosuppression Management and Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients
- Conditions
- Immunosuppression
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT02954198
- Lead Sponsor
- Medical University of South Carolina
- Brief Summary
With the availability of well-studied once-daily formulations of tacrolimus, the ability to achieve a true once-daily immunosuppressant regimen along with everolimus and steroids may finally be achievable and have the potential to optimize immunosuppression safety and efficacy in kidney transplantation.
- Detailed Description
A once-daily immunosuppressant regimen comprising of Envarsus-everolimus-prednisone will have 6-month treatment failure rates that are non-inferior to the twice-daily regimen of Envarsus-mycophenolate mofetil-prednisone and will have improved patient-reported adherence.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Self-reported Medication Adherence From Baseline to 6 Months. 6 months post conversion Percent of subjects reporting high medication adherence at baseline compared to 6 months post-conversion, using the Morisky Medication Adherence scale (MMAS). The MMAS rates medication adherence on a scale of 0 to 8. 0 is high adherence, 1-2 is medium adherence, and greater than or equal to 3 is low adherence.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percent of Participants Experiencing Acute Allograft Rejection Baseline to 6 months post conversion Estimate the composite of treatment failure rate, defined as acute allograft rejection with a Banff grade 1A or higher, graft loss, or death at six months post-conversion, in patients converted to a once-daily immunosuppressant regimen of Envarsus®, everolimus, and prednisone versus patients converted to a twice-daily regimen of Envarsus®, MMF, and prednisone.
