Study of the Cellular Diffusion of Tacrolimus Across the Membrane of Mononuclear Cells — DIFF-TAC  

Hemochromatosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Study of the Cellular Diffusion of Tacrolimus Across the Membrane of Mononuclear Cells

Clinical Trial Summary

Pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus are highly variable and may result in graft rejection (underdosing) or toxicity (overdosing).

The risk of transplant rejection and the toxicity of tacrolimus can be reduced by pharmacological therapeutic monitoring of the molecule, based on the measurement of residual blood concentrations. Nevertheless, some patients are victims of rejections or toxic signs even though their blood concentrations are in the therapeutic target.

The aim of the study is to describe the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus diffusion in mononuclear cells as well as the kinetics of effect of the drug on its target protein

Clinical Trial Description

Factors responsible for pharmacokinetic variability of tacrolimus are multiple: compliance, diet, drug interactions and also genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP 3A5) and efflux protein ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein, P-gp).

The mechanism of action of tacrolimus is based on inhibition of calcineurin in T cells. Therefore, tacrolimus intra-lymphocyte concentration may be a finer marker of the risk of transplant rejection or toxicity. The degree of inhibition of calcineurin in the T lymphocyte could also be a pharmacodynamic marker more relevant than the blood concentration. The hypothesis that the ABCB1 efflux pump is the main factor limiting the diffusion of tacrolimus into mononuclear cells is advanced.

The diffusion of tacrolimus into mononuclear cells and the impact of the ABCB1 efflux pump on this diffusion have not been studied to date. The effect kinetics of the drug on calcineurin in mononuclear cells is also unknown.

The aim of the study is to describe the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus diffusion in mononuclear cells as well as the kinetics of effect of the drug on its target protein: calcineurin in the presence or absence of an efflux pump inhibitor ABCB1 at room temperature and at 4 ° C (in order to inhibit all transport proteins) from blood obtained from 18 patients undergoing bleeding as part of maintenance treatment for hemochromatosis. ;
