Study summary

This phase II, single-center, open-label study will evaluate the comparable efficacy of tacrolimus extended release tablets (Envarsus®) to the standard of care (SOC) twice daily tacrolimus (Prograf®) dosing regimen post-cardiac transplantation.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, open-label, 2-arm, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of extended release tacrolimus (Envarsus) once-daily in comparison to Prograf capsules twice-daily after heart transplantation receiving the standard of care twice daily dosing with tacrolimus (Prograf).

Secondary objectives are to compare the compliance, safety and efficacy of once a day dosing (Envarsus) versus twice a day dosing (Prograf) and to evaluate the short term safety and tolerability of Envarsus.

Approximately 25 adult male or female recipients of a heart transplant will be prospectively enrolled to once-daily therapy with Envarsus tablets. Time of initiation will follow current standard of care. In addition, 25 age/gender-matched subjects who are receiving twice daily dosing with Prograf will be identified from the transplant center database and contacted to be consented, after which their results will be analyzed retrospectively.

The Termination Visit will occur on Day 182 (± 2 days) for subjects who complete the study treatment. Subjects who receive the first dose of study drug but withdraw from the study or terminate study treatment for any reason should complete all the procedures outlined for the Termination Visit.

The follow-up safety assessment may be conducted via telephone or at a study visit if needed for clinical follow-up on any safety issues). The follow-up safety assessment is to take place approximately 30 days (±5 days) after the last administration of study treatment, whether the subject completed study treatment or withdrew or terminated treatment early.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 8, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
