Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: one will receive Trugraf/TRAC Liver testing and the other will not. Subjects in the biomarker arm will have TruGraf Liver and TRAC Liver testing at study enrollment (1-2 months post-liver transplant) and thereafter every month for 6 months. Subjects will also have Trugraf Liver and TRAC Liver testing at months 9 and 12 following transplantation (7-8 and 10-11 months post baseline). The TruGraf and TRAC Liver results will be used in the biomarker arm in conjunction with all other clinical parameters available to guide decisions related to immunosuppression changes. There are no protocol mandated immunosuppression changes. Subjects in the standard of care arm will not have biomarkers available for decisions related to immunosuppression changes.

changes.
Patients monitored with TruGraf and TRAC Liver testing
This is an observational study there are no protocol mandated interventions. TruGraf and TRAC Liver results will be utilized in conjunction with standard of care assessments to determine patient management in the study arm.
Patients not monitored with TruGraf/TRAC Liver testing
Patients in control/ stamdard of care arm will have immusuppresion reduction based on the clinical judgement and management of the Principal Investigator and Sub-Investigators.
