Overview

Brief Summary

Prospective, single-arm, open-label, multicentre study with the principal aim to estimate tacrolimus pharmacokinetic parameters in elderly de-novo kidney transplant recipients of ECD (Extended Criteria Donor) kidney grafts treated with Envarsus® prolonged release tablets in combination with everolimus tablets.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subject's written informed consent obtained prior to transplant intervention and prior to any study-related procedures;
  • Caucasian male or female subjects aged 60 or older who are receiving a primary or secondary single or dual renal transplant from a blood group compatible deceased donor;
  • Patients who are planned to receive a renal allograft by Extended Criteria Donor (ECD);
  • Patients capable of understanding the purposes and risks of the study, who can give written informed consent and who are willing to participate in and comply with the study;
  • Patients with low to standard immunological risk, who had a PRA (Panel Reactive Antibody) ≤ 20% (PRA testing according to centre's practice);
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) between 15 and 35 kg/m2 extremes inclusive;
  • Women must be postmenopausal (physiologic menopause defined as "12 consecutive months of amenorrhea") or permanently sterilized (e.g. tubal occlusion, hysterectomy or bilateral salpingectomy) to be enrolled in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Recipients of any transplanted organ other than a single or dual kidney;
  • Patients unable or unwilling to provide informed consent;
  • Male subjects with females partner of childbearing potential UNLESS they or their partner are willing to use a reliable method of contraception (see below for details) from the time of first dose administration and until 8 weeks after the last dose of study drugs. Male subjects with partners of non-childbearing potential are not required to use contraception.
  • Reliable methods of contraception for male subjects and their partner of childbearing potential must be one of the following:
  • Placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system
  • Hormonal contraception (implantable, patch, oral)
  • Barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical vaults/caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository.
  • Male sterilization (with the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of the absence of sperm in the ejaculate "True abstinence" is acceptable only if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
  • Recipients of a bone marrow or stem cell transplant;
  • Recipients of a kidney from a cardiac death donor;
