Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Impact of Conversion to LCP Tacrolimus on Neurologic Toxicities in Liver Transplant Recipients.
Summary
This study will compare neurologic side effects associated with two immunosuppressant medications used in liver transplant patients. The standard therapy of twice daily immediate release Tacrolimus will be compared to Envarsus once daily. We hypothesize that Envarsus will show a lower rate of neurologic side effects than immediate release tacrolimus.
