This purpose of this study is to understand the interaction between two different medications, tacrolimus and Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir), in patients who have had a kidney transplant and are being treated by their doctor for COVID-19 infection. Tacrolimus is an oral medication that is used standardly in kidney transplant recipients to prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney. Paxlovid is an oral medication that is used to treat COVID-19 infection. Both medications are being prescribed by the patient's provider as part of their routine care. Participants will be asked to use a device called the TASSO M20 to collect blood at home at several timepoints around the doses of Paxlovid and tacrolimus. This is a small device that allows for collection of a tiny amount of blood at home by pricking the skin of your upper arm. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (TCRC).
