Tacrolimus versus cyclosporine after lung transplantation: a prospective, open, randomized two-center trial comparing two different immunosuppressive protocols
Abstract
Background The need for better immunosuppressive protocols after lung transplantation led us to investigate tacrolimus (Tac) in combination with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids or cyclosporine (CsA) in combination with MMF and steroids in a prospective, open, randomized trial after lung transplantation. Methods Between September 1997 and April 1999, 50 lung transplant recipients were randomized to receive either Tac (n = 26) or CsA (n = 24) in combination with MMF and steroids. All patients underwent induction therapy with rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG) for 3 days. Freedom from acute rejection (AR), patient survival, infection episodes, and side effects were monitored. Results There was no difference in patient demographics between the two groups. Six-month and 1-year survival was similar (84.6% and 73.1% in the Tac group vs 83.3% and 79.2% in the CsA group). Freedom from AR at 6 months and 1 year after lung transplantation was slightly higher in the Tac group (57.7% and 50% vs 45.8% and 33.3%, p = not significant [n.s.]), whereas the number of treated rejection episodes per 100 patient days in the Tac group was significantly lower (0.225 vs 0.426, p < .05). Four patients in the CsA group had to be switched to Tac. Two patients in the CsA group had to be retransplanted. Incidence of infections was similar in both groups with a trend toward more fungal infections in the Tac group (n = 7 vs n = 1, p = n.s.). Conclusions The combination of Tac and MMF seems to have slightly higher immunosuppressive potential compared with CsA and MMF. The effectiveness of Tac as a rescue agent is not paralleled with undue signs of overimmunosuppression.

Cyclosporine-based immunosuppressive regimens have been shown to be inferior to tacrolimus-based therapy, with higher rates of acute cellular rejection and increased CLAD incidence.
“This finding is plausible, as cyclosporine-based immunosuppressive regimens have been shown to be inferior to tacrolimus-based therapy, with higher rates of acute cellular rejection and increased CLAD incidence.16, 17, 18, 19, 20”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
