Effects of the CYP3A4*1B Genetic Polymorphism on the Pharmacokinetics of Tacrolimus in Adult Renal Transplant Recipients: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:The association between the CYP3A4*1B single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in different studies is controversial. Therefore, a meta-analysis was employed to evaluate the correlation between the CYP3A4*1B genetic polymorphism and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics at different post-transplantation times in adult renal transplant recipients. METHODS:Studies evaluating the CYP3A4*1B genetic polymorphism and tacrolimus pharmacokinetics were retrieved through a systematical search of Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and three Chinese literature databases (up to Sept. 2014). The pharmacokinetic parameters (weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose and tacrolimus trough concentration/weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose ratio) were extracted, and the meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.1. RESULTS:Seven studies (involving 1182 adult renal transplant recipients) were included in this meta-analysis. For the weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose, in all included renal transplant recipients (European & Indian populations), CYP3A4*1/*1 recipients required a significantly lower weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose than did CYP3A4*1B carriers at 7 days (WMD -0.048; 95% CI -0.083 ~ -0.014), 6 months (WMD -0.058; 95% CI -0.081 ~ -0.036) and 12 months (WMD - 0.061; 95% CI -0.096 ~ -0.027) post-transplantation. In light of the heterogeneity, the analysis was repeated after removing the only study in an Indian population, and CYP3A4*1/*1 European recipients (mostly Caucasian) required a lower weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose within the first year post-transplantation. The tacrolimus trough concentration/weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose ratio (C0/Dose ratio) was significantly higher in CYP3A4*1/*1 recipients than in CYP3A4*1B carriers at 6 months (WMD 52.588; 95% CI 22.387 ~ 82.789) and 12 months (WMD 62.219; 95% CI 14.218 ~ 110.221) post-transplantation. When the only study in an Indian population was removed to examine European recipients (mostly Caucasian), the significant difference persisted at 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-transplantation. CONCLUSION:Based on our meta-analysis, the CYP3A4*1B genetic polymorphism affects tacrolimus dose requirements and tacrolimus trough concentration/weight-adjusted tacrolimus daily dose ratio within the first year post-transplantation in adult renal transplant recipients, especially in European recipients (mostly Caucasian).

Project description:Tacrolimus exhibits inter-patient pharmacokinetic variability attributed to CYP3A5 isoenzymes and the efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein. Most black renal transplant recipients require higher tacrolimus doses compared to whites to achieve similar troughs when race-adjusted recommendations are used. An established guideline provides tacrolimus genotype dosing recommendations based on CYP3A5*1(W/T) and loss of protein function variants: CYP3A5*3 (rs776746), CYP3A5*6 (rs10264272), CYP3A5*7 (rs41303343) and may provide more comprehensive race-adjusted dosing recommendations. Our objective was to develop a tacrolimus population pharmacokinetic model evaluating demographic, clinical, and genomic factors in stable black and white renal transplant recipients. A secondary objective investigated race-based tacrolimus regimens and genotype-specific dosing. Sixty-seven recipients receiving oral tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid ?6 months completed a 12-hour pharmacokinetic study. CYP3A5*3,*6,*7 and ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T polymorphisms were characterized. Patients were classified as extensive, intermediate, and poor metabolizers using a novel CYP3A5*3*6*7 metabolic composite. Modeling and simulation was performed with computer software (NONMEM 7.3, ICON Development Solutions; Ellicott City, Maryland). A 2-compartment model with first-order elimination and absorption with lag time best described the data. The CYP3A5*3*6*7 metabolic composite was significantly associated with tacrolimus clearance (P value < .05), which was faster in extensive (mean: 45.0 L/hr) and intermediate (29.5 L/hr) metabolizers than poor metabolizers (19.8 L/hr). Simulations support CYP3A5*3*6*7 genotype-based tacrolimus dosing to enhance general race-adjusted regimens, with dose increases of 1.5-fold and 2-fold, respectively, in intermediate and extensive metabolizers for comparable exposures to poor metabolizers. This model offers a novel approach to determine tacrolimus dosing adjustments that maintain comparable therapeutic exposure between black and white recipients with different CYP3A5 genotypes.

Project description:AIMS:Tacrolimus has been associated with notable extrarenal adverse effects (AEs), which are unpredictable and impact patient morbidity. The association between model-predicted tacrolimus exposure metrics and standardized extrarenal AEs in stable renal transplant recipients was investigated and a limited sampling strategy (LSS) was developed to predict steady-state tacrolimus area under the curve over a 12-h dosing period (AUCss,0-12h ). METHODS:All recipients receiving tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid ?6 months completed a 12-h cross-sectional observational pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study. Patients were evaluated for the presence of individual and composite gastrointestinal, neurological, and aesthetic AEs during the study visit. The associations between AEs and tacrolimus exposure metrics generated from a published population pharmacokinetic model were investigated using a logistic regression analysis in NONMEM 7.3. An LSS was determined using a Bayesian estimation method with the same patients. RESULTS:Dose-normalized tacrolimus AUCss,0-12h and apparent clearance were independently associated with diarrhoea, dyspepsia, insomnia and neurological AE ratio. Dose-normalized tacrolimus maximum concentration was significantly correlated with skin changes and acne. No AE associations were found with trough concentrations. Using limited sampling at 0, 2h; 0, 1, 4h; and 0, 1, 2, 4h provided a precise and unbiased prediction of tacrolimus AUC (root mean squared prediction error < 10%), which was not well characterized using trough concentrations only (root mean squared prediction error >15%). CONCLUSIONS:Several AEs (i.e. diarrhoea, dyspepsia, insomnia and neurological AE ratio) were associated with tacrolimus dose normalized AUCss,0-12h and clearance. Skin changes and acne were associated with dose-normalized maximum concentrations. To facilitate clinical implementation, a LSS was developed to predict AUCss,0-12h values using sparse patient data to efficiently assess projected immunosuppressive exposure and potentially minimize AE manifestations.
