Trial Outcomes & Findings for Envarsus on the Effect of Total Tacrolimus Dose/Trough Level Ratio on Renal Function (eGFR) in Kidney Transplantation (NCT NCT03511560)

NCT ID: NCT03511560

Last Updated: 2024-07-17

Results Overview

Tacrolimus metabolism was determined for all dates of tacrolimus blood trough concentration collection after renal transplantation by dividing the tacrolimus blood trough concentration (C) by the corresponding total daily tacrolimus dose (D). C/D ratio (ng/mL\*1/mg) = blood tacrolimus trough level (ng/mL)/total daily tacrolimus dose (mg).

Measure
Tacrolimus, Immediate Release
Tacrolimus (immediate-release) will be administered twice daily per clinical judgment of supervising physician (dosing and monitoring in accordance with center protocol) to a minimum whole blood tacrolimus concentration of at least 8 ng/mL. Tacrolimus: Tacrolimus immediate-release, oral; 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 5 mg capsules will be administered twice daily per clinical judgment of supervising physician
Envarsus XR
Envarsus XR (Tacrolimus Extended Release Oral Tablet) will be administered once daily at initial weight-based dose of 0.12 mg/kg. Dosing and monitoring thereafter predicated on clinical judgment to a minimum whole blood tacrolimus concentration of at least 8 ng/mL. When possible, patients will receive their daily dose of Envarsus using the fewest number of pills possible. Tacrolimus Extended Release Oral Tablet: Tacrolimus, extended-release, oral (Envarsus); 0.75 mg, 1 mg, 4 mg tablets will be administered once daily at initial weight-based dose of 0.12 mg/kg.
