| Sumario: | Multicenter, prospective, observational study to compare the relative bioavailability of once-daily tacrolimus formulations in de novo kidney transplant recipients. De novo kidney transplant recipients who started a tacrolimus-based regimen were included 14 days post-transplant and followed up for 6 months. Data from 218 participants were evaluated: 129 in the LCPT group (Envarsus) and 89 in the PR-Tac (Advagraf) group. Patients in the LCPT group exhibited higher relative bioavailability (C /total daily dose [TDD]) vs. PR-Tac (61% increase; P <.001) with similar C and 30% lower TDD levels (P <.0001). The incidence of treatment failure was 3.9% in the LCPT group and 9.0% in the PR-Tac group (P =.117). Study discontinuation rates were 6.2% in the LCPT group and 12.4% in the PR-Tac group (P =.113). Adverse events, renal function and other complications were comparable between groups. The median accumulated dose of tacrolimus in the LCPT group from day 14 to month 6 was 889 mg. Compared to PR-Tac, LCPT showed higher relative bioavailability, similar effectiveness at preventing allograft rejection, comparable effect on renal function, safety, adherence, treatment failure and premature discontinuation rates. |
