Background: Data on real-world use of everolimus (EVR) in Japanese maintenance kidney transplant (KTx) patients are limited. This post-marketing surveillance study was conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of EVR, and identify factors affecting renal impairment. Methods: Adult maintenance KTx patients were enrolled within 14 days of initiating EVR. Patient medical data were collected using electronic data capture case report forms at 6 months, 1, and 2 years after initiating EVR, or at discontinuation. Results: All patients receiving EVR in Japan during the surveillance period were enrolled (N = 263). Mean time from transplantation to EVR initiation was 75.7 months. Decreased renal function (31.56%) was the primary reason for initiating EVR. In combination with EVR, the mean daily dose of tacrolimus and cyclosporine could be reduced to ~ 79 and ~ 64%, by 2 years, respectively. Incidences of serious adverse events and adverse drug reactions were 15.97 and 49.43%, respectively. Two-year graft survival rate was 95.82% and low in patients with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; modification of diet in renal disease) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (69.57%; P < 0.0001) and urinary protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥ 0.55 g/gCr (84.21%; P = 0.0206). Throughout the survey, mean eGFR values were stable (> 55 mL/min/1.73 m2). Renal impairment was influenced by patient and donor age, eGFR, and UPCR at baseline. Conclusions: No new safety concerns for the use of EVR in adult maintenance KTx patients were identified. Early EVR initiation may be considered in these patients before renal function deterioration occurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
