Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Once-daily Prolonged-release Tacrolimus in Liver Transplant Recipients.

Résumé

PURPOSE: Limited published data are available regarding the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) variables of prolonged-release tacrolimus (PRT) after liver transplantations. The goal of this study was to compare the PK and PD profiles of PRT in early and stable liver transplant recipients by developing a population PK model of PRT and investigating the profile of calcineurin activity (CNA) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells.METHODS: A conversion from BID immediate-release tacrolimus (IRT) to once-daily PRT based on a one-to-one daily dose was performed at day 7 (D7) and D90 posttransplantation in groups A (n = 12) and B (n = 12), respectively. Extensive PK samplings, including whole-blood tacrolimus (TAC) concentration, and CNA assessments were performed at D14 and D104 in groups A and B, respectively. TAC concentration-time data (N = 221) were analyzed by using nonlinear mixed effects modeling.FINDINGS: A 2-compartment model with linear elimination and a delayed first-order absorption characterized by 2 transit compartments best described the PK data. Model-predicted dose-normalized (6.0 mg/d) area under the TAC concentration-time curve over the dosing interval in groups A and B was similar (geometric mean, 235.6 ng/mL · h [95% CI, 139.6-598.7] vs 224.6 ng/mL · h [95% CI, 117.6-421.5], respectively; P = 0.94). Area under the CNA versus time curve over the dosing interval did not differ between groups (4897 [3437] and 4079 [1008] pmol/min/106 cells; P = 0.50). In group A, trough CNA at D14 posttransplantation was statistically higher than that measured just before the switch to PRT (ie, D7 posttransplantation) (198 [92] vs 124 [72] pmol/min/106cells, n = 8; P = 0.048); no statistical difference in TAC concentration was observed (P = 0.11). In group B, no statistical difference between D90 and D104 was observed in either trough CNA (149 [78] vs 172 [82] pmol/min/106 cells, n = 6; P = 0.18) or TAC (P = 0.17) concentration. No graft rejection was observed in either of the groups.IMPLICATIONS: This study suggests that one-to-one dosage conversion to once-daily PRT during the early posttransplantation period could result in significant CNA variations but without causing graft rejection. Further investigations in larger cohorts are warranted to confirm these results.
