Brief summary

Ciclosporin inhibits P-glycoprotein should increase colchicine bioavailability whereas tacrolimus should not influence colchicine disposition. This is a prospective, controlled, open labeled study performed in renal graft recipients comparing colchicine single dose (1mg) pharmacokinetics in 14 patients treated with tacrolimus and 14 patients treated with cyclosporin.

Detailed description

* Renal transplantation \>= one year * eGFR (MDRD) \> 30ml/min * hemoglobin \>= 11g/dl * treatment with tacrolimus or cyclosporine * no previous muscular disease * no drugs interfering with P-glycoprotein or CYP3A activity or expression outcomes * colchicine AUC, Cmax, T1/2 * ABCB1C3435T, CYP3A5 and SLCO1B1 genotypes

Interventions

DRUGcyclosporine+colchicine

the 14 patients of the 1st group are under cyclosporine and One pill of colchimax 1mg will be taken by all the patients at Day 3.

DRUGtacrolimus

the 14 patients of the second group are under tacrolimus and One pill of colchimax 1mg will be taken by all the patients at Day 3.
