Abstract

Although a disease is defined as rare when it has a prevalence of less than 1:2000, the overall prevalence of rare diseases in the population is greater than 1%. Among potential organ donors, a similar frequency is observed. To date, guidelines have not been established, and operational decisions have been made empirically, case- by-case, based on the experience and expertise of clinicians. For this reason, the Italian Superior Health Council (CSS) has appointed a working Group to address “patients with a rare disease as potential organ donors,” with the aim of devising recommendations for the management of transplant cases in which the donors have a rare disease. This group evaluated 493 diseases (10% of all rare diseases, including over 95% of patients with a rare disease) to deliver a technical report dealing with the suitability of organ donation and transplantation, with a focus on the organs most frequently used, including kidney, liver, heart, lung, and pancreas. This work has made it clear that a rare disease “per se” does not contraindicate organ donation at all. Indeed, in donors affected by a rare disease, almost 80% of the organs are suitable for transplantation, approximately 7% are unsuitable, and approximately 14% are suitable as non-standard with an acceptable risk.

Abstract

Background. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of tacrolimus (Tac) and cyclosporine immunosuppression in pediatric liver transplantation (LTx). Methods. One hundred fifty-six patients who had taken part in a multicenter, randomized, open, parallel study of Tac and corticosteroids versus cyclosporine A microemulsion (CyA-ME), corticosteroids, and azathioprine. Patients were assessed at regular intervals up to 14 y after LTx. Analysis was conducted descriptively. Results. In a long-term follow-up, there was a similar incidence of acute rejection (Tac versus CyA-ME, 5 versus 8) and graft loss (5 versus 10). There were 11 deaths in the cohort, which were from infectious complications/malignancy in the Tac group (n = 2/5) and from chronic rejection/liver failure in the CyA-ME group (n = 3/6). A similar incidence of Epstein-Barr virus and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease was observed (8 versus 8, 3 versus 3). However, there was a greater incidence of cosmetic adverse events in the CyA-ME cohort, with higher incidences of hypertrichosis (8 versus 27) and gum hyperplasia (20 versus 6). Growth improved equally in both groups. Overall, 81% of patients randomized to Tac remained on Tac therapy at study end, compared with 31% of patients randomized to CyA-ME. Common reasons for switching from CyA-ME included steroid-resistant/acute rejection (n = 12/8) and cosmetic changes (n = 8). Conclusions. This study is the first prospective, observational follow-up study of pediatric patients randomized to Tac and CyA-ME to evaluate long-term outcomes. Our analysis was limited by the degree of switchover between the cohorts; however, there were fewer deaths from chronic rejection/liver failure and reduced adverse events with Tac. Long-term use of Tac and Tac combination therapy appears to be safe and effective immunosuppression for pediatric LTx recipients.

Abstract

Background. We compared, through the European Liver Transplant Registry, long-term liver transplantation outcomes with prolonged-release tacrolimus (PR-T) versus immediate-release tacrolimus (IR-T)-based immunosuppression. This retrospective analysis comprises up to 8-year data collected between 2008 and 2016, in an extension of our previously published study. Methods. Patients with <1 month follow-up were excluded; patients were propensity score matched for baseline characteristics. Efficacy measures included: univariate/multivariate analyses of risk factors influencing graft/patient survival up to 8 years posttransplantation, and graft/patient survival up to 4 years with PR-T versus IR-T. Overall, 13 088 patients were included from 44 European centers; propensity score-matched analyses comprised 3006 patients (PR-T: n = 1002; IR-T: n = 2004). Results. In multivariate analyses, IR-T-based immunosuppression was associated with reduced graft survival (risk ratio, 1.49; P = 0.0038) and patient survival (risk ratio, 1.40; P = 0.0215). There was improvement with PR-T versus IR-T in graft survival (83% versus 77% at 4 y, respectively; P = 0.005) and patient survival (85% versus 80%; P = 0.017). Patients converted from IR-T to PR-T after 1 month had a higher graft survival rate than patients receiving IR-T at last follow-up (P < 0.001), or started and maintained on PR-T (P = 0.019). One graft loss in 4 years was avoided for every 14.3 patients treated with PR-T versus IR-T. Conclusions. PR-T-based immunosuppression might improve long-term outcomes in liver transplant recipients than IR-T-based immunosuppression.

Abstract

Infections are a major complication of solid organ transplants (SOTs). This study aimed to describe recipients’ characteristics, and the frequency and etiology of infections and transplant outcome in liver and lung SOTs, and to investigate exposures associated to infection and death in liver transplant recipients. The study population included recipients of SOTs performed in Italy during a 1-year period in ten Italian lung transplant units and eight liver transplant units. Data on comorbidities, infections, retransplantation, and death were prospectively collected using a web-based system, with a 6-month follow-up. The cumulative incidence of infection was 31.7% and 47.8% in liver and lung transplants, respectively, with most infections occurring within the first month after transplantation. Gram-negatives, which were primarily multidrug-resistant, were the most frequent cause of infection. Death rates were 0.42 per 1000 recipient-days in liver transplants and 1.41 per 1000 recipient-days in lung transplants. Infection after SOT in adult liver recipients is associated to an increased risk of death (OR = 13.25; p-value < 0.001). Given the frequency of infection caused by multidrug-resistant microorganisms in SOT recipients in Italy and the heavy impact of infections on the transplant outcome, the reinforcement of surveillance and control activities to prevent the transmission of multidrug-resistant microorganisms in SOT recipients represents a priority. The implementation of the study protocol in liver and lung transplant units and the sharing of results have increased the awareness about the threat due to antimicrobial resistance in the country.

Abstract

Background: With the same dose of tacrolimus, lower systemic exposure on the first day of dosing has been reported for prolonged-release tacrolimus compared with immediate-release tacrolimus, prompting investigation of differing initial doses. Methods: This substudy of a double-blind, randomized, phase III trial in de novo liver transplant recipients compared the pharmacokinetics of once-daily prolonged-release tacrolimus (initial dose: 0.2 mg/kg/day) versus twice-daily immediate-release tacrolimus (initial dose: 0.1 mg/kg/day) during the first 2 weeks post-transplant. Results: Pharmacokinetic data were analyzed from patients receiving prolonged-release tacrolimus (n=13) and immediate-release tacrolimus (n=12). Mean systemic exposure (AUC0-24) was higher with prolonged-release versus immediate-release tacrolimus. Dose-normalized AUC0-24 (normalized to 0.1 mg/kg/day) showed generally lower exposure with prolonged-release tacrolimus versus immediate-release tacrolimus. There was good correlation between AUC0-24 and concentration at 24 hours after the morning dose (r=.96 and r=.86, respectively), and the slope of the line of best fit was similar for both formulations. Conclusions: Doubling the initial starting dose of prolonged-release tacrolimus compared with immediate-release tacrolimus overcompensated for lower exposure on Day 1. A 50% higher starting dose of prolonged-release tacrolimus than immediate-release tacrolimus may be required for similar systemic exposure. However, doses of both formulations can be optimized using the same trough-level monitoring system. (ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT00189826).
