First Clinical Experience With the New Once-Daily Formulation of Tacrolimus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Once-daily tacrolimus is a new oral formulation of the established immunosuppressive agent tacrolimus (Prograf, Astellas Pharma US, Inc., Deerfield, IL), which is administered twice daily. It has been approved in the European Union for prophylaxis of rejection in liver and kidney transplant recipients, where it is registered as Advagraf, and in Canada for the prophylaxis of rejection in kidney transplant recipients, and is currently under review in the United States and Japan. Studies with once-daily tacrolimus have been performed in de novo kidney and liver transplant recipients, and conversion studies have been performed in stable adult kidney and liver transplant recipients and stable pediatric liver transplant recipients, who were converted on an mg:mg basis from twice-daily tacrolimus to a single morning dose of the new formulation. Results of these studies have established the safety and efficacy of this once-daily dosing alternative. Therapeutic regimens for transplant recipients are often complex, contributing to a high incidence of medication noncompliance and its consequences of increased mortality and morbidity. The tacrolimus once-daily regimen may improve compliance while enabling the use of the same patient care strategies, total daily dose, target trough concentrations, and therapeutic monitoring techniques as currently used with the twice-a-day formulation of tacrolimus.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
