What Is Known And Objective: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation patients are often on immunosuppression including calcineurin inhibitors post-transplant for prevention of graft-versus-host disease. Recent data suggested that addition of midostaurin, a FLT-3 mutant kinase inhibitor, maintenance can reduce risk of relapse by 46% at 18 months post-transplant.
Case Description: Patient is a post-allogenetic stem cell transplant patient started on midostaurin for maintenance therapy.

We have shown that the rat can quantitatively predict the verapamil-cyclopsorine A (CsA) drug-drug interaction (DDI) at the human blood-brain barrier (BBB). In addition, the potency (EC(50)) of CsA to inhibit rat BBB P-gp can be predicted from in vitro studies in MDRI-transfected cells. To assess if these excellent agreements extend to other substrates, we determined the magnitude of P-gp-based DDI at the rat BBB between loperamide (Lop) or its metabolite, N-desmethyl Lop (dLop), and escalating CsA blood concentrations.

Introduction: Sotrastaurin is an immunosuppressant that inhibits protein kinase C and blocks T-lymphocyte activation. The authors determined the effect of combining sotrastaurin with the calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporine on the pharmacokinetics and biomarker responses to both drugs.
Methods: This was a randomized, 4-period, crossover study in 20 healthy subjects who received single oral doses of (1) sotrastaurin 100 mg, (2) cyclosporine 400 mg, (3) 100 mg sotrastaurin with 100 mg cyclosporine and (4) 100 mg sotrastaurin with 400 mg cyclosporine.

Dyslipidemia is frequent in patients with renal failure and in transplant recipient patients. This lead to a wide use of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) in patients with impaired renal function or in patients treated with cyclosporine as post-transplantation immunosuppressive therapy. As a result, it is crucial for those patients' physicians to be aware of how to handle these drugs when renal function is impaired and/or when cyclosporine is co-administered.
