Safety and efficacy of generic cyclosporine arpimune in Filipino low-risk primary kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:In the Philippines, maintenance of immunosuppression may not always be affordable, leading to acute rejection and graft loss. The availability of the generic cyclosporine Arpimune could be economically beneficial, but its safety and efficacy should be established. METHODS:This prospective cohort study enrolled 30 renal transplant patients who received Arpimune with mycophenolate/prednisone. Their results were compared up to 6 months with 30 matched control patients who received Neoral during the same period. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) after intake of Arpimune and therapeutic drug monitoring using cyclosporine levels 2 hours after each dose were done. Pearson correlation was performed to determine linearity of relationship between the generic cyclosporine concentrations and AUC 0-4. Chi-square test was used in obtaining cyclosporine Arpimune concentrations. RESULTS:The abbreviated concentration AUC of Arpimune was similar to that of Neoral, and the 2-hour sampling point (r = 0.813; P < .001) showed the best correlation. Calculated creatinine clearance (mL/min) versus Neoral was 71.36 ± 13 versus 68.03 ± 16.6 (P = .61) at 1 month, 70.4 ± 14.8 versus 64.2 ± 11.4 (P = .12) at 3 months, and 74.02 ± 15.8 versus 62.03 ± 12.1 (P = .002) at 6 months. Two Arpimune versus 4 Neoral patients (P = .67) developed biopsy-proven acute rejection. One septic death occurred in the Arpimune group. Graft survival was 100% in both groups. Hyperlipidemia was the most frequent side effect for both. CONCLUSIONS:The AUC of Arpimune was similar to that of Neoral. Use of the generic cyclosporine Arpimune provided effective immunosuppression in the 6 months after transplantation. Renal allograft function was similar to that of Neoral, with minimal rates of acute rejection and adverse events.
