Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of sirolimus compared with azathioprine for reduction of acute renal allograft rejection: a randomised multicentre study
TL;DR: Use of sirolimus reduced occurrence and severity of biopsy-confirmed acute rejection episodes with no increase in complications and further studies are needed to establish the optimum doses for the combined regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maintenance immunosuppression with target-of-rapamycin inhibitors is associated with a reduced incidence of de novo malignancies.
TL;DR: Maintenance immunosuppression with the TOR inhibitor drugs, sirolimus and everolimus, is associated with a significantly reduced risk of developing any posttransplant de novo malignancy and nonskin solid malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of the occurrence of acute cellular rejection among renal allograft recipients treated with basiliximab, a chimeric anti-interleukin-2-receptor monoclonal antibody. United States Simulect Renal Study Group.
TL;DR: Prophylactic basiliximab therapy is well tolerated, has an adverse event profile comparable to placebo, and significantly reduces the number of acute rejection episodes in renal allograft patients within the first year after transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of cyclosporine pharmacokinetics, trough concentrations, and AUC monitoring on outcome after kidney transplantation
Anders Lindholm,Barry D. Kahan +1 more
TL;DR: This association suggests that improved cyclosporine pharmacokinetic monitoring may aid in improving outcome after kidney transplantation, and an equation is described to provide initial oral dose prediction.
