Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to explore the different immunosuppressive agents and related outcomes in organ transplantation patients in Taiwan. The main question it aims to answer is the risk of different immunosuppressive agents for infection and survival after transplant. The study enrolled patients who underwent solid organ transplant (SOT), kidney (ICD-9-CM code V42.0), liver (ICD-9-CM code V42.7), or lung (ICD-9-CM code V42.6) transplants. We employed propensity score matching (PSM) to establish a matched cohort. The study will compare SOT patients and general patients to explore the risk of different immunosuppressive agents for infection and survival.
1. Construct a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model of tacrolimus in kidney transplant patients, and explore the quantitative relationship between combination drugs and gene polymorphisms on the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus in kidney transplant patients; 2. Based on the established pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model of tacrolimus population in kidney transplant patients, combined with combined drugs, gene polymorphisms and other factors for simulation, predict the steady-state trough concentration and efficacy of tacrolimus in kidney transplant patients taking triple drugs (tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil/mycophenol sodium enteric-coated tablets, glucocorticoids), and apply the model to the real world to explore the optimal initial dose and maintenance therapeutic dose of tacrolimus, so as to achieve individualized and precise treatment and guide the rational clinical use of drugs. 3. Clarify the value of precision medicine guided by population pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics models in clinical practice.
This study will find the maximum tolerated dose or the maximum planned dose of CYNK-001 which contains natural killer (NK) cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded. CYNK-001 cells will be given after lymphodepleting chemotherapy. The safety of this treatment will be evaluated, and researchers want to learn if NK cells will help in treating acute myeloid leukemia.
Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PcP) increased in non HIV immunocompromised patients. Mortality remains high for those patients with comorbidities (50% for patients with the most severe Pneumocystis pneumonia). Physiopathology, characteristics and outcome of PcP in non-HIV patients remains different from those in HIV patients. Steroids in HIV patients with PcP has been associated with decreased mortality but in non-HIV patients, adjunctive steroids remains controversy. Some retrospective studies in that field did not find any beneficial effects of steroids ((1mg/kg/jour d'Equivalent Prednisone (EP)). However, all the studies were retrospective, non randomised studies including various underlying disease and severity of PcP was variable. Moreover, dosage and delay of steroids were variable leading difficult to interpret all the results. The investigators want to demonstrate the beneficial effect of steroid during PcP in non-HiV immunocompromised patients with a double blinded randomised clinical trials comparing adjunctive steroids to placebo.
