Calcineurin Inhibitor Replacement With Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) Inhibitor Following Lung Transplantation
Introduction
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are the cornerstone of lung transplant immunosuppression but are associated with nephrotoxicity and other adverse effects. Although dose reduction and combination with Sirolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTORi), have been explored, full conversion to Sirolimus remains uncommon. This study describes the characteristics and outcomes of lung transplant recipients who underwent complete CNI withdrawal and conversion to Sirolimus.
Methods
This retrospective case series included 52 lung transplant recipients transitioned to Sirolimus-based immunosuppression between 2010 and 2021. Data on demographics, transplant characteristics, immunosuppression, and outcomes were collected from electronic medical records.
Results
The cohort included 31 males (59.6%) with a median age of 58.4 years (IQR 52.3–63.5). The primary indication for CNI withdrawal was renal dysfunction (73.1%). Sirolimus discontinuation occurred in 69.2%, most commonly due to edema (25.0%), lung toxicity (19.4%), rejection (19.4%), and surgical needs (22.2%). Clinically significant rejection occurred in 13.5%, with four patients progressing to chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) and two deaths. Sixteen patients (30.8%) tolerated CNI withdrawal for over a year.
Conclusion
Full conversion from CNI to Sirolimus is poorly tolerated due to side effects and has a high incidence of rejection. Further studies are needed to optimize patient selection and risk mitigation strategies.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
