First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether liver transplant patients can safely switch from a standard anti-rejection drug (tacrolimus) to a different drug (everolimus) to protect their kidneys. About 340 adults who received their first liver transplant will be followed for 18-20 months. The goal is to see if this change keeps the liver healthy while reducing kidney damage.

Active substance

everolimus

What this could lead to

If successful, this could allow liver transplant patients to take fewer anti-rejection drugs, reducing kidney damage and simplifying their medication routine.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with 340 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is a risk of organ rejection or side effects from changing medications.
