Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Genotyping for CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genes
Treatment: Devices - Use of NextDose platform
Treatment: Drugs - Tacrolimus

Experimental: Prospective Cohort: Pre-emptive CYP3A5 genotype combined with a Bayesian dose prediction - Planned SOT recipients where initial tacrolimus dosing will be based on genotype and subsequent doses predicted using Bayesian revised dosing using NextDose. NextDose, a web-based tool is a model-informed precision dosing software tool used to optimise dosage regimens. It uses Bayesian statistics to integrate prior drug information from a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model, individual characteristics, and drug concentrations to provide the most accurate individual pharmacokinetic (PK) estimates. The popPK model, a mathematical-statistical model developed from real patient data, captures the drug's typical pharmacokinetics, its variability among individuals and over time, and the factors influencing this variability. By leveraging prior knowledge about a drug's PK along with individual patient data and drug concentrations, the software accurately estimates individual PK parameters with minimal drug concentration data. Tacrolimus dose, form, frequency, \& duration will be assessed


Diagnosis / Prognosis: Genotyping for CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genes
Genotyping: Patients in the prospective (intervention) arm will undergo genotyping using Illumina's genome-wide genotyping array (Infinium Global Screening Array).

The determined diplotypes for CYP3A5 will be matched with predicted phenotypes using the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC®) proposed genotype-to-phenotype translation table. The assignment of the phenotype is outlined in the CPIC guidelines which will used to predict initial dose of tacrolimus.

Treatment: Devices: Use of NextDose platform
NextDose platform is a forecasting tool used to predict tacrolimus dosage. It is a freely available tool and will be used in accordance with guideline. The dosing recommendations will be led by the academic pharmacist in consultation with the PI. This tool will use genotype-informed Bayesian dosing to help predict the time course of tacrolimus concentrations in the body.

Treatment: Drugs: Tacrolimus
Tacrolimus is administered to all patients post SOT at RCH

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
Yes
What data in particular will be shared?
The de-identified data set collected for this analysis of this study will be available six months after publication of the primary outcome. The study protocol and analysis plan will also be available. The data must be obtained from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Prior to releasing any data the following are required: a data access agreement must be signed between relevant parties, the Study Management Group must see and approve the data analysis plan describing how the data will be analysed, there must be an agreement around appropriate acknowledgment and any additional costs involved must be covered. Should the Study Management Group be unavailable, this role is delegated to the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Data will only be shared with a recognized research organisation which has approved the proposed analysis plan.
