ABSTRACT

Data on long-term outcomes of users of inhibitors of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTORI) are lacking in kidney transplantation. In an analysis of 139 370 US kidney transplant recipients between 1999 through 2010, we compared clinical outcomes among users of mTORIs versus calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) in their primary immunosuppresive regimen. During the first 2 years posttransplantation, primary use of mTORIs without CNIs (N = 3237) was associated with greater risks of allograft failure and death compared with a CNI-based regimen (N = 125 623); the hazard ratio (HR) of the composite outcome ranged from 3.67 (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.12-4.32) after discharge to 1.40 (95% CI 1.26-1.57) by year 2. During years 2-8, primary use of mTORIs without CNIs was independently associated with greater risks of death (HR 1.25; 95% CI, 1.11-1.41) and the composite (HR 1.17; 95%CI, 1.08-1.27) in fully adjusted analyses. The results were qualitatively unchanged in subgroups defined by medical history, immunological risk and clinical course during the index transplant hospitalization. In a propensity-score matched cohort, use of mTORIs was associated with significantly worse outcomes during the first 2 years and greater risks of death (HR 1.21; 95% CI, 1.05-1.39) and the composite (HR 1.18; 95% CI, 1.08-1.30) in years 2-8. Compared with CNI-based regimens, use of an mTORI-based regimen for primary immunosuppression in kidney transplantation was associated with inferior recipient survival.

ABSTRACT

Inhibitors of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), sirolimus and everolimus, reduce the incidence of acute rejection following kidney transplantation, but their impact on clinical outcomes beyond 2 years after transplantation is unknown. We examined risks of mortality and allograft loss in a prospective observational study of 993 prevalent kidney transplant recipients who enrolled a median of 72 months after transplantation. During a median follow-up of 37 months, 87 patients died and 102 suffered allograft loss. In the overall population, use of mTOR inhibitors at enrollment was not associated with altered risk of allograft loss, and their association with increased mortality was of borderline significance. However, history of malignancy was the strongest predictor of both mortality and therapy with an mTOR inhibitor. Among patients without a history of malignancy, use of mTOR inhibitors was associated with significantly increased risk of mortality in propensity score-adjusted (hazard ratio [HR] 2.6; 95% CI, 1.2, 5.5; p = 0.01), multivariable-adjusted (HR 3.2; 95% CI, 1.5, 6.5; p = 0.002) and one-to-one propensity score-matched analyses (HR 5.6; 95% CI 1.2, 25.7; p = 0.03). Additional studies are needed to examine the long-term safety of mTOR inhibitors in kidney transplantation, especially among recipients without a history of malignancy.
