Popis: Aprepitant (AP) is a known inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4 which may affect tacrolimus metabolism. We retrospectively examined the effect of oral AP on intravenous tacrolimus concentrations in 26 patients undergoing reduced intensity transplantation from 09/2005 to 09/2006. Oral AP 125 mg daily was administered on transplant day +1 and 80 mg on days +2 and +3. Intravenous tacrolimus was administered as a 0.03 mg/kg/day continuous infusion on day -6 through day +1 (pre-AP), during-AP (days +2 to +7), and post-AP starting on day +8. Tacrolimus doses were adjusted to achieve concentrations of 5—20 ng/mL. Dose-corrected tacrolimus concentrations (ng/mL/mg per dose) in the pre-AP, during-AP, and post-AP time periods were: 8.12 (95% CI: 7.3—9.1), 11.63 (95% CI: 9.63—13.63), and 11.42 (95% CI: 8.12—14.7), respectively (P
