Steroid withdrawal at 3 months after kidney transplantation: a comparison of two tacrolimus‐based regimens

Summary The 6 month prospective, randomized study compared the steroid‐sparing potential of two tacrolimus‐based regimens after renal transplantation. A total of 489 patients were randomized (1:1) to receive tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)/steroids (n = 243; group Tac/MMF/S) or tacrolimus/aza...

The incidence of acute rejection during months 4–6 was low in all groups, both for patients on steroid‐free dual therapy (Tac/MMF: 2.7%, Tac/Aza: 0.8%) and for patients who continued steroid maintenance therapy (Tac/MMF/S: 3.5%, Tac/Aza/S: 7.1%). Moreover, kidney function was well preserved in steroid‐free patients with month 6 median serum creatinine levels of 119.5 μmol/l (Tac/MMF), and 115.1 μmol/l (Tac/Aza). For patients who continued to receive steroids, month 6 median creatinine levels were 130.5 μmol/l (Tac/MMF/S) and 132.8 μmol/l (Tac/Aza/S). The criteria for the selection of patients to discontinue steroids were adequate. Both tacrolimus‐based regimens allowed the safe discontinuation of steroids in low‐risk patients at month 3.
