Comparison of Initial Sirolimus (SRL) and Everolimus (EVR) Exposure Patterns in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Hospital do Rim, Nephrology Division, EPM - UNIFESP, São Paulo, Brazil
*Purpose: Despite distinct pharmacokinetic properties, SRL and EVR bind to the same intracellular target protein, suggesting that equivalent blood concentrations may exert similar pharmacodynamic effect.*Methods:…2019 American Transplant Congress
Slowed Progression of Maximal Intimal Thickening by Intravascular Ultrasound after Initiation of Sirolimus
1Children's Hospital Colorado, Aurora, CO, 2University of Florida Health, Gainesville, FL
*Purpose: Evidence in adult heart transplant (HT) patients (pt) shows that initiating sirolimus (SRL) slows progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) measured by intravascular ultrasound…2019 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Outcomes of Using mTOR Inhibitors with Reduced Dose of Calcineurin Inhibitors in Lung Transplant Recipients: A Single Center Experience
*Purpose: The use of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORi) in cardiothoracic transplantation has significantly increased over the past decade. Several recent clinical trials have…2019 American Transplant Congress
mTOR Inhibitors Associated with Higher Cardiovascular Adverse Events – A Large Population Database Analysis
*Purpose: Our study aimed to compare the adverse events (AEs) of tacrolimus to mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors in solid organ transplant patients.*Methods: Our…2019 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Everolimus Therapy on HIV Persistence and Gene Expression in Transplant Patients
1UC San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, 2Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: mTOR is a key regulatory kinase that controls cell-cycle progression. mTOR inhibitors have been shown to reduce expression of CCR5 and promote viral transcriptional…2019 American Transplant Congress
Comparative Use of Single mTOR vs Dual mTOR/PI3K Inhibition in Regulatory T Cell Expansion for Clinical Application in Transplantation
University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY
*Purpose: Experimental and pre-clinical evidence suggest that adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells (Tregs) could be an appropriate therapeutic strategy to induce tolerance and improve…2019 American Transplant Congress
Decreased Cancer Susceptibility in Tolerant Liver Transplant Recipients: Another Benefit of Tolerance?
*Purpose: Long-term survival of transplant recipients is significantly impacted by malignancy. Induction of tolerance is feasible in a subset of liver transplant (LT) recipients. The…2019 American Transplant Congress
A Clinical Pharmacogenetic Model to Predict the Efficacy of Sirolimus during the Early Administration in Renal Transplant Recipients
No.300 Guangzhou Road of Nanjing, Nanjing, China
*Purpose: This study was to develop a clinical pharmacogenetic model to predict the efficacy of sirolimus during the early administration in renal transplant recipients. 70…2019 American Transplant Congress
Sirolimus (SRL) versus Everolimus (EVR) versus Mycophenolate (MPA) in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction (r-ATG), Tacrolimus (TAC), and Prednisone
Hospital do Rim, Nephrology Division, EPM - UNIFESP, São Paulo, Brazil
*Purpose: TAC and MPA combination is considered the standard of care immunosuppressive regimen in the majority of transplant centers worldwide. Yet, given the lack of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Induction and Maintenance Immunosuppression Regimens in Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplantation: An Analysis of the UNOS Registry
Aim: Induction and maintenance immunosuppression regimens in intestinal transplant widely vary among centers. The aim of this study was to investigate an association between immunosuppression…
