Pediheart Podcast #357: Maintenance Immunosuppression Following Heart Transplantation In Children
Update: 2025-10-03
Description
This week we review a recent multicenter, randomized trial pitting 2 different immunosuppressive therapeutic approaches against each other. How did a novel approach of everolimus + low dose tacrolimus compare to more standard MMF + standard, higher dose tacrolimus in avoidance of major adverse transplant events or complications? How did this first ever prospective trial in the pediatric heart transplantation world start and how difficult was it to perform in the absence of corporate or NIH support? Why can these data help inform FDA labelling for this novel approach and why is this important? Dr. Kevin Daly of Boston Children's Hospital shares his deep insights into this work this week!
