Interleukin-2 receptor (IL2R) antibody has emerged as an attractive induction therapy for organ transplant. However, the long-term outcome of basiliximab induction in simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplant remains speculative. We retrospectively analyzed the long-term survivals of 91 consecutive SPK recipients with basiliximab as induction, combination of steroid, tacrolimus (TAC) and mycophenolate acid (MFA)--either mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or sodium mycophenolate (myfortic) as maintenance. At one, three, five, and seven-yr, the actual patient survival rate were 91.2%, 90.3%, 88.1%, and 88.2%, respectively; kidney graft survivals were 90.1%, 84.7%, 78.6%, and 70.6%, respectively; and pancreas graft survivals were 86.8%, 80.6%, 71.4%, and 58.8% respectively. There was a low incidence of rejection and CMV infection. Basiliximab induction with TAC, MFA, and steroid maintenance therapy can provide excellent long-term outcome for SPK recipients.
