With the availability of well-studied once-daily formulations of tacrolimus, the ability to
achieve a true once-daily immunosuppressant regimen along with everolimus and steroids may
finally be achievable and have the potential to optimize immunosuppression safety and
efficacy in kidney transplantation.

A once-daily immunosuppressant regimen comprising of Envarsus-everolimus-prednisone will have
6-month treatment failure rates that are non-inferior to the twice-daily regimen of
Envarsus-mycophenolate mofetil-prednisone and will have improved patient-reported adherence.

1. Inclusion criteria

1. Male or female adult (≥18 years old) with a history of solitary kidney transplant
within 3 months (±2 months) of transplant with self-reported medication adherence
