Summary
This trial is testing whether a different immunosuppressant drug may improve cognitive function in renal transplant patients.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults aged 18-70 who've had a kidney transplant between 4 weeks and 10 years ago. They must be on a stable dose of Tacrolimus with specific blood levels, not planning to start interfering medications, and have no severe visual/hearing impairments or medical conditions that could affect participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests if switching from twice-daily Tacrolimus (Prograf) to Envarsus XR improves cognitive function in stable renal transplant patients. It assesses the impact of this medication change on their mental capabilities and quality of life.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial focuses on cognitive outcomes rather than side effects, changes in immunosuppressive therapy can potentially lead to altered drug absorption rates, which may influence the frequency or severity of typical side effects such as tremors, high blood pressure, kidney function issues, and increased risk of infection.
