Lack of a significant pharmacokinetic interaction between maraviroc and tacrolimus in allogeneic HSCT recipients.
Trial report in The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesEmerging data suggest that the combination of tacrolimus and the CCR5 antagonist maraviroc, both cytochrome P450-3A4 substrates, may be effective in preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT. This study evaluated whether a pharmacokinetic interaction exists between these agents.
methodsThe study included 36 allogeneic HSCT recipients who received maraviroc + tacrolimus and 43 recipients of tacrolimus alone. We used a difference-in-differences analysis to examine the change in the concentration/dose ratios of tacrolimus after the discontinuation of maraviroc. In addition, we analysed the concentrations and dose requirements of tacrolimus in the two groups.
resultsThere was no significant difference in tacrolimus concentration/dose ratios in patients receiving maraviroc + tacrolimus compared with tacrolimus alone. Upon discontinuation of maraviroc, the change in concentration/dose ratio was small and not significant relative to the control group, and the effect estimate was further attenuated after adjustment for confounders [-0.35 (ng/mL)/(mg/day); P = 0.46]. In addition, the change in mean tacrolimus dose after discontinuation of maraviroc was similar between the groups (0.12 mg/day; P = 0.56), as was the change in mean tacrolimus concentration (0.02 ng/mL; P = 0.97).
conclusionsOur findings do not support a significant inhibitory effect of maraviroc on the metabolism of tacrolimus. These data demonstrate that this drug combination is safe and imply that the protective effect of maraviroc against graft-versus-host disease was not mediated through an increase in tacrolimus concentrations. These findings are important for the design of clinical trials that evaluate maraviroc in combination with cytochrome P450-3A4 substrates.
