Delayed Drug-Drug Interaction Between Antiviral Drugs and Tacrolimus in a Pancreatic Islet Transplant Recipient With SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia.
Article in Therapeutic drug monitoring, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPAXLOVID (nirmatrelvir and ritonavir) and VEKLURY (remdesivir) are the first- and second-line antivirals administered to adult patients at risk of severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19), such as transplant recipients. As this specific population requires lifelong immunosuppressive treatments, the administration of antivirals with cytochrome P450-modulating properties exposes patients to a high risk of drug-drug interactions (DDI). CASE PRESENTATION: A 72-year-old male patient who underwent a pancreatic islet transplant experienced DDI between antiviral treatment and tacrolimus during the management of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. The patient received a single dose of nirmatelvir/ritonavir followed by a single dose of remdesivir. Tacrolimus treatment was interrupted for the duration of the antiviral treatment, and the concentration of tacrolimus was within the target range for this patient. Once antiviral treatment was stopped, tacrolimus was reintroduced at the initial dose. On day 6, the patient presented with clinical and biological parameters consistent with a tacrolimus overdose. A trough concentration 18 times higher than the therapeutic target was found, prompting tacrolimus to be discontinued for 9 days and reintroduced at a lower dose, followed by a gradual increase based on therapeutic drug monitoring to the initial dose. Clinical and biological parameters gradually returned to baseline levels.
conclusionsManagement of DDI between tacrolimus and anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs requires a substantial therapeutic intervention and close therapeutic drug monitoring during and for several days after antiviral treatment.
