Long-Term Outcomes with Prolonged-Release Tacrolimus in Kidney Transplantation: A Retrospective Real-World Data Analysis.

BACKGROUND Long-term real-world outcomes data for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) converting from immediate-release tacrolimus (IRT) to prolonged-release tacrolimus (PRT) are limited. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective, non-interventional review of adult KTRs treated with PRT for ≥1 month was conducted in Germany. Data were extracted from time of transplant (2008-2014) to 2018.

Efficacy of Prolonged-release Tacrolimus After Conversion From Immediate-release Tacrolimus in Kidney Transplantation: A Retrospective Analysis of Long-term Outcomes From the ADMIRAD Study.

Unlabelled: Prolonged-release tacrolimus (PRT) may offer improved outcomes after kidney transplantation compared with immediate-release tacrolimus (IRT). However, data on outcomes beyond 5-y posttransplantation are lacking.

Methods: A retrospective, noninterventional chart review study examined long-term graft survival in adult kidney transplant participants in the Adherence Measurement in Stable Renal Transplant Patients Following Conversion From Prograf to Advagraf (ADMIRAD) clinical trial at 4 Belgian sites.
