Toelichting
Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
A composite endpoint of any of three events: sustained (>3 months post transplantation) new onset diabetes mellitus, eGFR < 60 ml/minute/1.73 m2 for >3 months or new onset hypertension.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Chronic use of tacrolimus is associated with significant side effects including new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT), renal impairment, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and tremor and other neurotoxic traits. It is known that toxicity of tacrolimus is (partly) related to higher peak serum blood concentrations in the first year after transplantation. Reducing peak levels without reducing effective inhibition of the immune response could therefore theoretically attenuate the toxic effects of tacrolimus. Envarsus®, a prolonged release formulation of tacrolimus which gives less fluctuation of whole-blood tacrolimus concentrations and requires lower dosage for similar systemic tacrolimus exposure has the potential to lower the toxic effects of tacrolimus and decrease the amount of metabolic side effects, as compared to the current standard, Advagraf®.
Inschatting van belasting en risico
As both tacrolimus formulations are approved for this indication and the active drug on both formulations is the same, this study is considered a low risk study. The anticipated benefit of this study is that it may lead to lowering of the metabolic side effects, nefrotoxicity and neurotoxicity of long term tacrolimus treatment.

Samenvatting resultaten
Significantly less liver transplant recipients reached the composite primary endpoint at 12 months in the LCP-tacrolimus group compared to the extended-release tacrolimus group (50.9%, 95%-CI 37.9% - 63.9% versus 71.2%, 95%-CI 57.7% - 81.7%, p=0.005). This significant difference was observed both in the intention-to-treat and in the per protocol analysis. No differences in rejection rate, graft and patient survival were found. In conclusion, LCP-tacrolimus has a more favorable cardiovascular risk profile and results in less chronic kidney disease as compared to ER-tacrolimus in the first year after liver transplantation with comparable efficacy.

"A total of 106 patients was included, of whom 52 randomized to the ER-tacrolimus and 54 to the LCP-tacrolimus arm. Most of the patients was transplanted because of HCC (31/106, 29.2%), primary sclerosing cholangitis (18/106, 16.9%) or (non)alcoholic stea

"In total, 160 SAEs were reported: 47.5% (76/160) in the ER-tacrolimus group and 52.5% (84/160) in the LCP-tacrolimus group. SAEs most frequently reported were fever (23.1%, 37/160), cholangitis and bile duct obstruction (10%, 16/160) and infections (10%,

"In this randomized controlled study, it was observed that LT recipients using LCP-tacrolimus have significantly better clinical outcomes, i.e. lower incidence of CKD, PTDM and new-onset hypertension compared to LT recipients using the ER-tacrolimus at no
