About

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.

Full 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
