Once a Day Immunosuppression Regimen: Outcomes and Compliance

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether an immunosuppressive maintenance regimen of Envarsus/azathioprine compared to a tacrolimus/ mycophenolic acid regimen is associated with better compliance, tolerability, and lower biopsy proven rejection.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Once daily regimen
Once daily medication regimen (Envarsus and azathioprine)
Intervention focuses on the type of regimen, in this case the intervention arm will receive a once daily regimen for immunosuppression compared to the twice daily regimen.
Active Comparator: Twice daily regimen
Twice daily medication regimen (Tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid)
This is the arm which we are designating the standard, which will be the comparison to the active drug arm.
