简要总结
Renal transplant recipients need life long immunosuppression and one of the new drugs is everolimus. Everolimus is a potent immunosuppressive drug and one of the main side-effects are increased blood cholesterol levels. Many renal transplant recipients are treated with a cholesterol lowering agent, mainly fluvastatin. Rosuvastatin is a new cholesterol lowering drug on the market with a potential higher cholesterol lowering potency. In the present study the investigators will examine the hypothesis that rosuvastatin reduce cholesterol levels more than fluvastatin in renal transplant patients.

研究组 & 干预措施
Rosuvastatin
Rosuvastatin treatment for 4 weeks
干预措施: Rosuvastatin (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
compare the treatment efficacy (blood lipid lowering effect) of rosuvastatin versus fluvastatin
时间窗: 4 weeks
Compare the blood lipid levels before and after switch from fluvastatin to rosuvastatin
Area Under Curve (AUC) of rosuvastatin in renal transplant recipients treated with everolimus. Time frame: predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours post dose.
时间窗: 4 weeks
Compare 24-h pharmacokinetics of renal transplant recipients with historic controls
次要结局
- 1. Area Under Curve (AUC) of everolimus during rosuvastatin versus fluvastatin therapy, including intracellular everolimus concentrations within T-lymphocytes. Time frame: predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 hours post-dose.(4 weeks)
- 2. Investigate P-gp activity in whole blood in everolimus treated patients(4 weeks)
- 3. Study inter individual variation in rosuvastatin and everolimus pharmacokinetics in renal transplant recipients due to polymorphism in the genes encoding P-gp, OATP1B1 and CYP3A5(4 weeks)
- 4. Compare effect of rosuvastatin versus fluvastatin therapy on the renal function (eGFR)(4 weeks)
