Effects of CYP3A5 polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of a once-daily modified-release tacrolimus formulation and acute kidney injury in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Tacrolimus is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and 3A5. We investigated the influence of CYP3A5 polymorphism and concurrent use of azole antifungal agents (AZ) on the pharmacokinetics of a once-daily modified-release tacrolimus formulation (Tac-QD) in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Twenty-four patients receiving allogeneic HSCT were enrolled. Genotyping for CYP3A5*3 was done by a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Trough blood concentrations (C0) of tacrolimus were measured by chemiluminescence magnetic microparticle immunoassay. Continuous infusion of tacrolimus was administered from the day before transplantation and was switched to Tac-QD after adequate oral intake.Thirteen patients had a CYP3A5*3/*3 genotype, and 11 patients had a CYP3A5*1/*1 or *1/*3 genotype. No significant difference was observed in daily dosages and the C0 of tacrolimus between the two genotype groups without AZ. However, in patients who were co-administered AZ, the C0 values of tacrolimus were higher in patients with the CYP3A5*3/*3 allele than with the CYP3A5*1 allele (P = 0.034), although daily doses of Tac-QD in patients with CYP3A5*3/*3 were significantly lower than those with the CYP3A5*1 allele (P = 0.041). The cumulative incidence of acute kidney injury was higher in patients with the CYP3A5*3/*3 than with the CYP3A5*1 allele when AZ was co-administered. The decrement for daily dosage of Tac-QD was significantly greater in patients expressing the CYP3A5*3/*3 than the CYP3A5*1 allele.CYP3A5 genotyping may be useful for safe and effective immunosuppressive therapy with Tac-QD in HSCT patients in whom the use of AZ is anticipated.

Project description:BackgroundTacrolimus extended-release tablets have been Food and Drug Administration-approved for use in the de novo kidney transplant population. Dosing requi rements often vary for tacrolimus based on several factors including variation in metabolism based on CYP3A5 expression. Patients who express CYP3A5 often require higher dosing of immediate-release tacrolimus, but this has not been established for tacrolimus extended-release tablets in the de novo setting.AimTo obtain target trough concentrations of extended-release tacrolimus in de novo kidney transplant recipients according to CYP3A5 genotype.MethodsSingle-arm, prospective, single-center, open-label, observational study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT037 13645). Life cycle pharma tacrolimus (LCPT) orally once daily at a starting dose of 0.13 mg/kg/day based on actual body weight. If weight is more than 120% of ideal body weight, an adjusted body weight was used. LCPT dose was adjusted to maintain tacrolimus trough concentrations of 8-10 ng/mL. Pharmacogenetic analysis of CYP3A5 genotype was performed at study conclusion.ResultsMean time to therapeutic tacrolimus trough concentration was longer in CYP3A5 intermediate and extensive metabolizers vs CYP3A5 non-expressers (6 d vs 13.5 d vs 4.5 d; P = 0.025). Mean tacrolimus doses and weight-based doses to achieve therapeutic concentration were higher in CYP3A5 intermediate and extensive metabolizers vs CYP3A5 non-expressers (16 mg vs 16 mg vs 12 mg; P = 0.010) (0.20 mg/kg vs 0.19 mg/kg vs 0.13 mg/kg; P = 0.018). CYP3A5 extensive metabolizers experienced lower mean tacrolimus trough concentrations throughout the study period compared to CYP3A5 intermediate metabolizers and non-expressers (7.98 ng/mL vs 9.18 ng/mL vs 10.78 ng/mL; P = 0 0.008). No differences were identified with regards to kidney graft function at 30-d post-transplant. Serious adverse events were reported for 13 (36%) patients.ConclusionExpression of CYP3A5 leads to higher starting doses and incremental dosage titration of extended-release tacro limus to achieve target trough concentrations. We suggest a higher starting dose of 0.2 mg/kg/d for CYP3A5 expressers.

Project description:BackgroundTacrolimus is available as twice-daily Prograf® (Tac-BID) and the once-daily formulation, Advagraf® (Tac-OD). Although therapeutically equivalent, some transplant recipients require dose adjustments to achieve similar tacrolimus trough concentrations [Tac C0] after conversion between formulations. Tacrolimus is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5). We sought to determine whether genetic polymorphisms in the CYP3A5 enzyme; CYP3A5 *1/*1 and CYP3A5 *1/*3 (expressers) compared to CYP3A5 *3/*3 (non-expressers) could account for discrepancies in dose requirements following conversion from Tac-BID to Tac-OD.MethodsA cohort of 60 renal transplant recipients (RTR) from our larger conversion study of 496 patients underwent additional testing for CY3A5 genetic polymorphisms. Analysis included demographics, tac dosing and [Tac C0] pre- and post-conversion and dosing changes relative to CYP3A5 genotypes. CYP3A5 genetic polymorphisms were identified through analysis of genomic DNA.ResultsConversion from tac bid to tac OD in this cohort required a mean (SD) dose increase from 3.1 (1.0) mg/day to 3.8 (1.3) mg/day (p = 0.007), to achieve similar [Tac C0]. The *1/*3 expresser group required a greater percentage dose adjustment (56.7 %) in converting from Tac-BID to Tac-OD as compared to the *3/*3 non-expresser group (26.6 %). Similar findings were observed with the both expresser groups combined (*1/*1 &*1/*3). The expressers were significantly more highly represented in the East Asian cohort.ConclusionsThe CYP3A5 expresser polymorphism necessitates an increase in dosing upon conversion from Tac-BID to Tac-OD, with the expresser genotypes contributing significantly to this finding. Given the variability in frequency of CYP3A5 genotypes in various ethnic groups, future studies should account for both isoenzyme polymorphism and ethnicity in optimizing dosing requirements.Trial registrationClinical trials.gov identifier: NCT01884480.
