Long-acting tacrolimus after lung transplant
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests a long-acting form of tacrolimus (a common anti-rejection medicine) soon after lung transplant. It aims to see if it can be used safely and effectively for people receiving lung transplants at Vanderbilt (VUMC).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a single or double lung transplant
- You are 18 years or older and can give informed consent (at least verbally)
- You receive your transplant follow-up care at VUMC and take medicines as prescribed
- You have NOT had any other organ transplant before
- You did NOT take tacrolimus before your lung transplant

This trial tests a special form of tacrolimus (Envarsus) taken once daily to prevent organ rejection in people who recently received a first lung transplant. The study will follow patients for at least 12 months.
This trial studies whether taking an extended-release form of tacrolimus (a medicine to prevent transplant rejection) after a liver transplant works well for people who are followed at the University of Alberta. It may help simplify dosing and monitor safety and effectiveness after transplant.
This trial tests if switching from a standard twice-daily tacrolimus to a once-daily prolonged-release version is safe and effective for liver transplant recipients who have stable liver function. It aims to simplify your medication schedule.
This study compares two long-acting forms of tacrolimus (Envarsus and Advagraf) to see how the body processes them after a kidney transplant. It aims to find the best way to use these medications to prevent organ rejection.
This non-interventional study looks at how tacrolimus blood levels relate to transplant effectiveness and side effects. It uses your existing medical data to understand whether tacrolimus behaves differently from person to person and how that links to safety.
This trial looks at whether changing your maintenance anti-rejection medicine from Prograf (usually twice daily) to Envarsus (once daily) can help keep your liver and kidney function stable. It targets people who may be having kidney side effects, symptoms from tacrolimus, or trouble taking a twice-daily medicine.
