Abstract

Results of studies in adult recipients of liver allograft suggest that tacrolimus is more efficacious than ciclosporin microemulsion in the prevention of acute rejection. We aimed to compare these drugs in children undergoing liver transplantation. This 12-month multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, randomised study compared a dual tacrolimus regimen (tacrolimus/corticosteroids, n=93) with a triple ciclosporin microemulsion regimen (ciclosporin microemulsion/corticosteroids/azathioprine, n=92) in children who had had liver transplants (age < or =16 years, bodyweight < or =40 kg). Initial oral daily doses were 0.30 mg/kg for tacrolimus and 10 mg/kg for ciclosporin microemulsion. Primary endpoint was the incidence of and time to first histologically proven acute rejection. We excluded patients from analysis if they did not receive the study drug, or were given incorrect medication. Otherwise patients were analysed in accordance with their random treatment allocation, irrespective of whether they switched medication during the trial. Median age was 22 months (IQR 9-56) in the tacrolimus group and 17 months (9-54) in the ciclosporin microemulsion group. We noted no difference between treatment groups with respect to patient surv...Continue Reading
