Calcineurin-inhibitor-sparing immunosuppressive protocols.

Abstract:

:Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) have played an important role in improving graft survival. However, the balance between preventing immunologic allograft losses and the management of CNI-related nephrotoxicity is still an issue in renal transplantation. There are three major CNI-sparing strategies. CNI MINIMIZATION: The advent of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) allows cyclosporine (CsA) reduction to ameliorate renal function in patients with chronic renal allograft dysfunction, without increasing acute rejection rates. In combination with mTOR inhibitors, very low CNI levels may be sufficient to prevent acute rejection. However, in this association, CNI nephrotoxicity is magnified by pharmacokinetic interaction. CNI WITHDRAWAL: CNI withdrawal has been attempted in regimens containing MMF or sirolimus (SRL). Introduction of MMF in patients with chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) followed by CNI withdrawal resulted in stabilization or improvement of renal function and hypertension profile, although there is some risk of acute rejection. In regimes based on SRL, CNI withdrawal is a safety strategy, achieving a sustained improvement of renal function, histology, and graft survival. There is not consensus at all whether MMF should be added or not in patients converted from CNI to mTOR inhibitor. CNI AVOIDANCE: Polyclonal-based regimens with MMF and steroids have shown acceptable acute rejection rates, but high rates of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and opportunistic infections. Conversely, anti-IL-2R in combination with MMF and steroids resulted in 50% incidence of acute rejection, thus suggesting that CNI avoidance is not feasible in a regimen based on MMF. Alternatively, a protocol based on anti-IL-2R induction therapy combined with SRL, MMF, and prednisone has shown an efficient prevention of acute rejection, higher creatinine clearance and lower rate of CAN in comparison with a group treated with CNI. New strategies using costimulation blockade may help in the development of safe CNI-free regimens. In summary, in renal transplantation the new immunosuppressive medications have made feasible old aspirations such as minimization, withdrawal, or even avoidance of CNI.
