Mycophenolate mofetil hampers antibody responses to a broad range of vaccinations in kidney transplant recipients: Results from a randomized controlled study.

Objectives: To study the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on various vaccination responses in kidney transplant recipients.

Methods: In a randomized controlled trial (EudraCT nr.: 2014-001372-66), low immunologically risk kidney transplant recipients were randomized to TAC/MMF or TAC-monotherapy (TACmono), six months post-transplantation.

Tacrolimus Monotherapy is Safe in Immunologically Low-Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Randomized-Controlled Pilot Study.

In this randomized-controlled pilot study, the feasibility and safety of tacrolimus monotherapy in immunologically low-risk kidney transplant recipients was evaluated [NTR4824, www.trialregister.nl].

The Burden of Gastrointestinal Complaints in Kidney Transplant Recipients Using Tacrolimus With and Without Mycophenolate Mofetil: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: Tacrolimus (TAC) combined with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is the immunosuppressive regimen in the majority of solid organ transplant recipients. Gastrointestinal complaints are frequent, which is considered predominantly a side effect of MMF. However, systematic research in this field is lacking.
