Small late-conversion studies found an impressive glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increase 1 year after conversion from calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) to sirolimus (SRL). This effect could not be detected in the considerably larger CONVERT study, which found a lower rate of malignancies in the SRL group. In the spare the nephron trial patients converted to SRL exhibited a mean measured GFR of 68 mL/min at 1 year compared with 60 mL/min from CNI patients (P<0.05). Accordingly, the CONCEPT study which randomized patients to SRL conversion 3 months after transplantation reported a significant higher GFR in the SRL patients at 1 year. These trials showed that conversion of stable renal transplant recipients from CNI to SRL is safe.
小型的后期转换研究发现,从钙调神经磷酸酶抑制剂(CNI)转换为西罗莫司(SRL)1年后,肾小球滤过率(GFR)有显著提高。在规模大得多的CONVERT研究中未检测到这种效应,该研究发现SRL组的恶性肿瘤发生率较低。在“ sparing the nephron”试验中,转换为SRL的患者在1年时测得的平均GFR为68 mL/分钟,而CNI患者为60 mL/分钟(P<0.05)。因此,CONCEPT研究将移植后3个月的患者随机分为SRL转换组,该研究报告SRL患者在1年时的GFR显著更高。这些试验表明,稳定的肾移植受者从CNI转换为SRL是安全的。
