PTAAK- study of pulse wave velocity evaluation tacrolimus time in therapeutic range and co-efficient of tacrolimus variation of African American kidney transplant recipients receiving immediate release tacrolimus capsules (IR-Tac) or extended release tacrolimus tablets (LCPT)
Brief description of study
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the pulse wave velocity and vascular compliance measurements at the beginning and the end of the study in African American kidney transplant recipients taking either Envarsus XR® (extended release tacrolimus) tablets administered once-daily after transplantation or immediate release generic tacrolimus capsules that are administered twice-daily after kidney transplantation.
Pulse wave velocity and vascular compliance measurements are two non-invasive tests that are used to evaluate how well patients blood vessels adapt to each heartbeat.
The secondary purpose is to look at the effectiveness and safety of extended release tacrolimus tablets administered once-daily compared to generic tacrolimus capsules administered twice-daily after kidney transplantation.
Detailed description of study
Patients will remain in the study for up to 12 months during which time they will be seen for monthly clinic visits, and complete labs per the standard of
care.
