Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of once-daily tacrolimus extended-release (EnvarsusXR) and Azathioprine is non inferior with respect to the composite outcome of acute rejection, graft and patient survival as compared to a combination of twice-daily immediate release tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil/mycophenolic acid.

Conditions

  • Kidney Transplantation
  • Kidney Transplant Rejection

Interventions

DRUG

Twice-daily Tacrolimus

Within 48 hours of transplantation, immediate release tacrolimus (IRT) (0.1 mg/kg /day) will be administered twice a day.

DRUG

Once-daily envarsus XR

Within 48 hours of transplantation, Envarsus XR (0.13mg/kg/day) will be administered once a day.

DRUG

Induction Immunosuppression with Basiliximab or Rabbit Anti Thymoglobulin (rATG)

Induction immunosuppression with Basiliximab or Rabbit Anti Thymoglobulin (rATG) per protocol. The dose of Basiliximab will be a standard of two 20 mg doses and total rATG will not exceed 6 mg/kg.

DRUG

Methylprednisolone, prednisone

Methylprednisolone intraoperatively (500mg) and immediately post transplantation (200mg on post operative day (POD) #1, 150mg on POD#2, 100mg on POD#3) then oral prednisone (50mg on POD #4, 20mg on POD #5). Oral prednisone will be tapered down to a minimal dose of 5mg within 6 weeks post transplantation.

DRUG

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or Mycophenolic acid (MPA)

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (up to 1000mg) or Mycophenolic acid (MPA) (up to 720mg) will be administered twice a day.

DRUG

Azathioprine

Azathioprine (1-3 mg/kg) will be administered once a day.
