Brief Summary:
This is a study to determine the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of taking away the anti-rejection medicine, tacrolimus, in liver transplant recipients in conjunction with everolimus monotherapy to preserve renal function. Two hundred - seventy (270) subjects will be randomized 2:1 into one of two groups between 2-3 months post-transplant. Seventy participants will be placed into an observational group and will remain on their current post-transplant medications. The duration of the study from time of enrollment is 18-20 months.
Detailed Description:
This study is a multicenter 2:1 randomized nonblinded phase II interventional clinical trial in liver transplant recipients. The primary objective is to determine the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of tacrolimus minimization and eventual withdrawal in conjunction with everolimus monotherapy to preserve renal function. Study subjects will undergo first reduction of tacrolimus with the addition of everolimus. If everolimus is tolerated, subjects will be randomized 2:1 into one of two interventional arms. The first interventional arm will undergo a stepwise reduction of tacrolimus and be on everolimus monotherapy for the remainder of the study. The second interventional arm will remain on the initial reduced tacrolimus dose and everolimus. If subjects prior to randomization are unable to tolerate everolimus, these subjects will be placed in the observational group. These subjects will stop taking everolimus and resume their immunosuppression therapy prior to study enrollment.
