Genetic test could Fine-Tune transplant drug dosing

NCT ID NCT00552201

Summary

This study tested if adjusting the starting dose of a common anti-rejection drug (tacrolimus) based on a patient's genetics could help get the drug level right more quickly after a kidney transplant. 280 kidney transplant recipients were randomly assigned to receive either a standard starting dose or a dose tailored to their genetic test result. The main goal was to see if more patients in the tailored-dose group reached the target drug level in their blood within the first few days.
