摘要
IntroductionDifferent prolonged-release formulations of tacrolimus are available. To date, the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of LCP-tacrolimus (LCPT; Envarsus((R))) has not been compared with PR-Tac (Advagraf((R))) in de novo kidney transplant recipients. These profiles will guide clinical recommendations for the initiation and dose titration strategies of once-daily tacrolimus formulations.MethodsThis randomized, parallel-group, open-label, multicenter PK study randomized 75 de novo, adult, white kidney transplant recipients to LCPT 0.17mg/kg/day (n=37) or PR-Tac 0.20mg/kg/day (n=38) for 4 weeks. Dose adjustments were permitted to target a pre-defined therapeutic range based on measured trough blood concentrations.ResultsPK analysis (days 1, 3, 7 and 14) included 68 patients (LCPT, n=33; PR-Tac, n=35). Similar proportions of patients were within the pre-defined therapeutic tacrolimus trough blood concentration range, with<12% in each group having below-target trough levels over the study period. LCPT demonstrated similar to 30% greater relative bioavailability [LCPT/PR-Tac adjusted geometric mean ratio: day 3, 1.32 (p=0.007); day 7, 1.25 (p=0.051); day 14, 1.43 (p=0.002)] and similar to 30% lower peak-to-trough percentage fluctuation of blood concentration [LCPT/PR-Tac adjusted geometric mean ratio: day 3, 0.70 (p<0.001); day 7, 0.68 (p<0.001); day 14, 0.73 (p=0.004)] in addition to longer time to maximum blood concentration (t(max)), lower maximum concentration (C-max) and a consistently lower daily dose (similar to 40% dose reduction with LCPT vs. PR-Tac by day 28). Safety profiles were similar.ConclusionIn de novo kidney transplant recipients, prolonged-release formulations of tacrolimus can reach therapeutic concentrations in the immediate post-transplant period. LCPT has greater relative bioavailability and lower peak-to-trough fluctuation compared with PR-Tac.Trial registrationRegistered at ClinicalTrials.gov; study number NCT02500212.FundingChiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.
