Effect of Vitamin D on Everolimus Trough Concentrations Among Heart Transplanted Patients

April 17, 2019 updated by: Dr.Itai Gueta, Sheba Medical Center

The Effect of Normalizing Vitamin D Concentrations on Everlomius Trough Concentrations

Vitamin D is part of the regular treatment regimen among patients after heart transplantation. Due to potential drug-drug interaction between vitamin D and everolmus, these patients are in increased risk for increased everolimus metabolism, potentially leading to under- immunosupression.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

post heart transplantation patients treated with everolimus will be screened for vitamin D levels. Patients defined as deficient will be treated with vitamin D with close and intensive monitoring everolimus levels, adjusting oral daily dose to maintain therapeutic levels.
