Association of Clinical Events With Everolimus Exposure in Kidney Transplant Patients Receiving Low Doses of Tacrolimus
A key objective in the use of immunosuppression after kidney transplantation is to attain the optimal balance between efficacy and safety. In a phase 3b, multicenter, randomized, open-label, noninferiority study, the incidences of clinical events, renal dysfunction, and adverse events (AEs) were analyzed at 12 months in 309 de novo renal transplant recipients receiving everolimus (EVR), low-dos...

متن کاملHematologic complications, healthcare utilization, and costs in commercially insured patients with myelodysplastic syndrome receiving supportive care.
BACKGROUND Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is rare in people aged <50 years. Most patients with this disorder experience progressive worsening of blood cytopenias, with an increasing need for transfusion. The more advanced and severe the disorder, the greater the risk that it will progress to acute myeloid leukemia. Therapy is typically based on the patient's risk category, age, and performance ...
متن کاملUniversal variable-to-fixed length source codes
A universal variable-to-fixed length algorithm for binary memoryless sources which converges to the entropy of the source at the optimal rate is known. We study the problem of universal variable-to-fixed length coding for the class of Markov sources with finite alphabets. We give an upper bound on the performance of the code for large dictionary sizes and show that the code is optimal in the se...
متن کاملA Randomized Pharmacokinetic Study of Generic Tacrolimus Versus Reference Tacrolimus in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Pharmacokinetic analyses comparing generic tacrolimus preparations versus the reference drug in kidney transplant patients are lacking. A prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized, two-period (14 days per period), two-sequence, crossover and steady-state pharmacokinetic study was undertaken to compare twice-daily generic tacrolimus (Sandoz) versus reference tacrolimus (Prograf®) in stabl...
