Sirolimus can be safely switched as early as 90 days after liver transplantation with excellent tolerability and amelioration of the calcineurin inhibitor toxicity that initiated the switch.

THomas Jefferson University and Hospital

The primary objective is that acute cellular rejection following a switch to sirolimus will be comparable to the historical rate at our center under calcineurin inhibitors of around 5% for post liver transplant recipients.
