Prograf and Envarsus are two different formulations of Tacrolimus which is used as an immunosuppressant in liver transplant (LT) patients. Prograf is currently used as part of the standard immunosuppression regimen for LT recipients at UHN. This study will compare the use of Prograf and Envarsus and their effects on liver and renal function, trough tacrolimus levels, drug-related adverse effects, and patient adherence. Trial design is a pilot randomized trial. The study aims to recruit 40 patients from UHN's LT program and they will be randomized 1:1 to either stay on their current dose of Prograf or be converted to a once-daily equivalent dose of Envarsus. Both groups of patients will be followed for 48 weeks. This study will compare the change from baseline to week 48 in liver and renal function, tacrolimus-related side effects and patient reported outcomes between the two study groups.

Lung transplantation is a life-saving therapy for patients with advanced lung disease, however, necessitates the use of life-long immunosuppressive therapy for the prevention of acute and chronic rejection. The backbone of immunosuppression is the calcineurin-inhibitor class, with tacrolimus being the preferred drug due to its potency and improved side-effect profile. Nevertheless, tacrolimus is associated with several side effects including increased risk for infection and malignancy, tremors, headaches, seizures, hypertension, leukopenia and renal dysfunction. In fact, by 6 months post-transplant, 50% of patients will have a 50% decline in eGFR and by 5 years post-transplant \~10% of patients will have advanced renal disease that may require renal replacement therapy and/or kidney transplantation. Tacrolimus induces a nephropathy in two ways- acute calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity (CIN) is mediated by afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction, whereas chronic CIN is due to interstitial nephritis and fibrosis. Immunosuppressive regimens that spare or dose-reduce calcineurin inhibitors have been shown to have a modest impact on preserving renal function, but are limited by timing. Although most studies support implementing renal preserving protocols early on, this is balanced by the potential for acute cellular rejection, antibody mediated rejection and anastomotic dehiscence. Long-acting Tacrolimus (LCP-tacrolimus) may have the potential to bridge the balance of providing potent immunosuppression, while sparing renal function, due to the better systemic dose levels and improved concentration/dose ration achieved with it compared to IR-tacrolimus, evidenced in the renal transplant population. There is limited experience with LCP-tacrolimus in lung transplantation. Several case reports chronicling the late conversion from IR-tacrolimus to LCP-tacrolimus due to absorption issues or side-effect intolerance, have demonstrated safety and tolerability. The investigators seek to determine whether early use of LCP-tacrolimus in lung transplant recipients following the index hospitalization is acceptable, and propose a single-center prospective, randomized, controlled pilot study of early-use LCP-tacrolimus in lung transplant recipients to assess safety, tolerability and side-effects of LCP-tacrolimus.

This is a phase 2, prospective, multi-center, open-label clinical trial. Sixty-six (66) primary heart transplant recipients will be randomized (1:2) to receive either standard-of-care, tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, or a belatacept-based regimen with gradual tacrolimus withdrawal over 9-months post-transplant. Both study arms will receive CellCept® (mycophenolate mofetil- MMF) or Myfortic® (mycophenolate sodium). Corticosteroids will be continued throughout the study in the belatacept arm. The primary objective is to evaluate whether NULOJIX® (belatacept), when implemented with gradual tacrolimus withdrawal over 9 months, is safe with respect to preventing the composite endpoint of acute cellular rejection (ACR) \>= International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) 2R, hemodynamic compromise rejection in the absence of a biopsy or histological rejection, re-transplantation, and death at 18 months post-transplant.

Immunosuppressive therapy is required to prevent organ rejection, however, dosing of immunosuppressive agents is complicated by patient-specific differences impacting the body's absorption and elimination of these agents. The goal of this research proposal is to clinically validate an innovative precision medicine strategy for dosing the immunosuppressant tacrolimus in pediatric heart transplant, which will in turn lead to improvements in long-term transplant survival outcomes. The strategy and techniques used in this project can be extended to improve drug therapy across multiple pediatric diseases requiring chronic therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Tacrolimus clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Tacrolimus clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Tacrolimus trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Tacrolimus is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Tacrolimus medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Tacrolimus clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Everolimus + Epoetin Alfa for Liver Transplant, Extended-Release Tacrolimus for Kidney Transplant Recipients and Belatacept for Heart Transplant to the Power online platform.
