Overview

This entry refers to a clinical trial comparison conducted by the EUROSPK Study Group evaluating two immunosuppressive regimens in patients undergoing simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation. The study compared a regimen based on sirolimus (an mTOR inhibitor) against one based on mycophenolate mofetil (an IMPDH inhibitor), both used in combination with tacrolimus, induction therapy with polyclonal antibodies, and short-term corticosteroids. The primary goal was to assess the efficacy in preventing graft rejection and the safety profiles of these combinations in type 1 diabetic recipients with end-stage renal disease. Sirolimus (Rapamune) acts by inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) to block T-cell proliferation, while mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept) inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) to suppress lymphocyte purine synthesis.
