EVR and EPO for Liver Transplant Tolerance (NCT06832189)

🧪 Interventions in This Study

• Everolimus (DRUG)
• Epoetin alfa (DRUG)

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

1. Subject must be able to understand and provide informed consent
2. 1-10 years post-liver transplant
3. Tacrolimus-containing maintenance immunosuppression (IS) regimen without corticosteroid. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) dose must be \<=2000 mg daily or mycophenolic acid (MPA) dose\<=1440 mg daily (if on MMF or MPA). Tacrolimus level must be \<8 ng/ml on the 2 most recent laboratory results within 3 months.
4. Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alanine transaminase (ALT) \<= upper limit of normal (ULN)
5. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>=40 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 using the CKD-EPI 2021 equation
6. Female subjects of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test upon study entry
7. Female subjects with reproductive potential, must agree to use Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved methods of birth control for the duration of the study
8. Subjects must have current vaccinations or documented immunity as per the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation (DAIT) vaccine guidance for subjects in transplant trials
9. Negative result of most recent tuberculosis (TB) testing or appropriately completed latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) therapy. Testing should be conducted using either a purified protein derivative (PPD) or interferon-gamma release assay (i.e., QuantiFERON-TB, T-SPOT.TB). Results from tests performed within 12 months prior to study entry are acceptable in the absence of any intervening exposure to TB. Subjects with a positive test for LTBI must complete appropriate therapy for LTBI. LTBI treatment regimens should be among those endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
10. Negative FDA-approved test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnosis at screening or as documented in medical record, up to 12 months prior to screening)
11. Negative hepatitis C antibody test at screening or as documented in medical record, up to 12 months prior to screening, in subjects without a history of hepatitis C. If there is a history of treated hepatitis C, then documentation of two consecutive negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) quantitative RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests separated by at least 3 months is required. Untreated subjects with positive HCV antibody and a single negative quantitative HCV RNA are eligible. Historical negative HCV RNA results are acceptable in the above two cases with positive HCV antibody
12. Negative hepatitis B surface antigen and negative hepatitis B core antibody in subjects without a history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, up to 12 months prior to screening. Those with known hepatitis B infection or positive hepatitis B surface antigen or positive hepatitis B core antibody must be on antiviral therapy and have negative HBV DNA quantitative PCR at screening
