Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess if the use of Envarsus in place of Tacrolimus-immediate release (IR) in rapid metabolizers post kidney transplant will reduce incidence of BK infection. Efficacy evaluations will include measurement of urine and serum BK values at specified time points and review of any biopsy for BK virus nephropathy. Incidence of rejection, graft failure, and graft dysfunction will also be measured at specified time points.

Conditions

  • Renal Transplant Infection

Interventions

DRUG

Study Group

Patients will convert from current tacrolimus dose to an Envarsus dose that is 80% of the total tacrolimus dose. They will take envarsus once daily in the morning and have 24 hour trough levels monitored at the standard of care interval for tacrolimus. Dosing will be titrated to achieve goal levels.

DRUG

Control Group

Post transplant patients (kidney transplant alone) performed between 10-2016 and time of enrollment with standard of care immunosuppression, no prior rejection, prior BK or opportunistic infection, whom had a negative BK screening at month 1 and concentration/dose of \< 1 at month 1, and BK data available and month 2,3, 6,9,12.
