Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Appropriate tacrolimus (FK) treatment requires higher doses in CYP3A5 expressors (CYP3A5*1/*1 + *1/*3) compared with CYP3A5 nonexpressors (CYP3A5*3/*3), with the former also demonstrating longer times to achieve target trough concentration levels. On the other hand, the concentration of FK in the blood increases significantly in CYP3A5 nonexpressors taking CYP3A inhibitors, such as triazole antifungal agents. Therefore, FK administration should be dose-adjusted based on CYP3A5 genotype prior to initial FK administration, or co-administered with a CYP3A5 inhibitor. Thus, information on the CYP3A5 genotype is useful for therapeutic drug monitoring of FK.
