Drug Interaction Between Colchicine and Calcineurin Inhibitors in Renal Graft Recipients

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Renal Replacement Therapies
Interventions
Drug: tacrolimus
Drug: cyclosporine+colchicine
Registration Number
NCT01160276
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

Ciclosporin inhibits P-glycoprotein should increase colchicine bioavailability whereas tacrolimus should not influence colchicine disposition.

This is a prospective, controlled, open labeled study performed in renal graft recipients comparing colchicine single dose (1mg) pharmacokinetics in 14 patients treated with tacrolimus and 14 patients treated with cyclosporin.

Detailed Description

* Renal transplantation \>= one year

* eGFR (MDRD) \> 30ml/min

* hemoglobin \>= 11g/dl

* treatment with tacrolimus or cyclosporine

* no previous muscular disease

* no drugs interfering with P-glycoprotein or CYP3A activity or expression outcomes

* colchicine AUC, Cmax, T1/2

* ABCB1C3435T, CYP3A5 and SLCO1B1 genotypes
