LCP-Tacrolimus Extended-Release (Envarsus XR) Use in Adolescent and Young Adult Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Introduction
Limited published experience describes once daily, extended-release tacrolimus (LCP-Tac) use in pediatric solid organ transplantation (SOT), particularly nonrenal SOT. LCP-Tac can simplify immunosuppression (IS) regimens, minimize immediate release-tacrolimus (IR-Tac)-associated adverse effects, and promote adherence. This study describes the successful use of LCP-Tac in adolescent and young adult (AYA) SOT populations.
Methods
A single-center, retrospective chart review of AYA SOT recipients (age < 25 years) converted from IR-Tac to LCP-Tac. Graft survival, biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), infection rates, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and pill burden were assessed at five time points postconversion (1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months). Intrapatient variability of tacrolimus, as assessed by coefficient of variability (CV%), was also analyzed.
Results
Twenty-nine AYA SOT recipients (19 heart, 6 kidney, and 4 liver) were converted to LCP-Tac, with a median age of 17.4 years at conversion. Conversion, mainly due to perceived or identified medication nonadherence, occurred at a median of 5.4 years posttransplant. No graft loss occurred within 24 months of conversion, and BPAR incidence rate was consistent with previous reports for these populations. Only one patient experienced CMV infection. Renal function remained stable postconversion.
Conclusion
Successful conversion from IR-Tac to LCP-Tac was demonstrated in AYA heart, kidney, and liver transplant recipients. These AYA SOT recipients experienced reduced pill burden and improved tacrolimus trough concentration variability. However, the impact on medication adherence warrants further investigation. Future research should explore the targeted use of LCP-Tac to enhance IS tolerability and medication adherence in young SOT populations.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
