Tacrolimus is one of the calcineurin inhibitors used for maintaining immuno-suppression in thoracic and abdominal transplantations including heart, lung, liver, intestine, pancreas, and renal transplants. It has a narrow therapeutic window requiring therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Genetic polymorphism in the expression of cytochrome P3A5 enzyme plays a significant role in the bioavailability of tacrolimus in patients, leading to toxicity or rejection.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has remained the main cause of post-transplantation mortality and morbidity after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), adding significant economic burden and affecting quality of life. It would be desirable to reduce the rate of GVHD among patients in complete remission (CR) without increasing the risk of relapse. In this study, we have tested a novel conditioning regimen of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) at 2000 cGy, together with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first or second CR, to attenuate the risk of chronic GVHD by using PTCy, while using escalated targeted radiation conditioning before allografting to offset the possible increased risk of relapse.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory properties and support hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM). To develop a new strategy to not only prevent graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) but also to enhance engraftment, a phase I trial of cord blood transplantation (CBT) combined with intra-BM injection of MSCs (MSC-CBT) was designed. Third-party BM-derived MSCs were injected intra-BM on the day of CBT.

Background: Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant mainly used in the prophylaxis of solid organ transplant rejection. Therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus is essential for avoiding toxicity related to overexposure and transplant rejection from underexposure. Previous studies suggest that unbound tacrolimus concentrations in the plasma may serve as a better predictor of tacrolimus-associated nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity compared to tacrolimus concentration in whole blood.
