Cover story: This study investigated tacrolimus pharmacokinetics, therapeutic response, and adherence in liver transplant patients over 12 years. It revealed high variability in tacrolimus levels, with higher concentrations in adults and males. Adherence was significantly better in patients over 18, and certain medications influenced tacrolimus levels and variability. View this paper.

Tacrolimus Therapeutic Response, Pharmacokinetics and Adherence in Liver Transplant Recipients

Received: 20 August 2024;  Published: 13 December 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2404228

Abstract

Background: Tacrolimus is characterized by a high intra and interindividual pharmacokinetics variability. Data regarding factors that may influence its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in liver transplantation are limited. The objectives of this study were to assess tacrolimus therapeutic response, pharmacokinetics and adherence in liver transplant recipients. Methods: The study was conducted at the Clinical Pharmacology Department over a period of 12 years from January 2009 to March 2021. [...]

A Phase I/II Randomized Trial of Higher Dose mRNA-1273 Boosters in Lung Transplant Recipients

Received: 16 August 2024;  Published: 20 November 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2404227

Abstract

Higher-dose mRNA booster vaccines have not been well studied for transplant recipients. This study evaluated the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of higher dose mRNA-1273 booster vaccines among lung transplant recipients (LTRs). This phase 1/2 open-label randomized clinical trial of higher-dose mRNA-1273 booster vaccination enrolled nineteen adult LTRs into the 50 ug (n=8) vs. 100 ug (n=11) groups before enrollment was terminated due to the availability of the bivalent mRNA-1273.222 vac [...]

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Fanconi Anemia: Results of a Single Center with a Fludarabine-Based Conditioning Regimen

Received: 29 June 2024;  Published: 11 November 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2404226

Abstract

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) remains the only curative treatment for bone marrow failure (BMF) and hematologic complications of Fanconi anemia (FA). The evolution remains affected by the toxicity, the risk of graft failure, and clonal evolution. This study aimed to identify factors affecting outcomes in FA patients after allo-HSCT. We included FA patients who underwent allo-HSCT between January 2006 a [...]

Use of Plasma-Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) in the Treatment of Acne

Received: 26 April 2024;  Published: 03 October 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2404225

Abstract

Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the pilosebaceous units of the skin, characterized by the formation of papules, cysts, comedones, pustules, nodules, and scars. These lesions are typically located on the face and shoulders, although they can extend to the trunk, arms, and legs. In regenerative medicine, biomolecules are fundamental to tissue regeneration. The use of growth factors from autologous platelet-rich plasma emerges as a promising alternative in the treatment of acne a [...]
