On day 15 after everolimus administration, blood samples were collected just prior to and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 h after administration. The dose-adjusted area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC(0-12)) of everolimus was significantly lower in patients with the NR1I2 8055C/C genotype than in those with other genotypes (p = 0.022) and was significantly higher in male patients than female patients (p = 0.045). Significant correlations between the dose-adjusted AUC(0-12) of everolimus and age (p = 0.001), aspartate transaminase (p = 0.001), and alanine transaminase (p = 0.005) were found. In multivariate analysis, aging (p = 0.008) and higher alanine transaminase levels (p = 0.032) were independently predictive of a higher dose-adjusted everolimus AUC(0-12). Aging and hepatic dysfunction in patients may need to be considered when evaluating dose reductions in everolimus. In renal transplant patients, management using everolimus blood concentrations after administration may be more important than analysis of NR1I2 8055C>T polymorphism before administration.}, title = {Effects of NR1I2 and ABCB1 Genetic Polymorphisms on Everolimus Pharmacokinetics in Japanese Renal Transplant Patients}, volume = {23}, year = {2022} }
