Tacrolimus has proved effective for preventing acute graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) after unrelated donor marrow transplantation, but the therapeutic window is apparently narrow. Therapeutic drug monitoring could potentially be used to guide dose modifications, but the optimal target range of tacrolimus blood concentrations is unknown. We determined whether acute GVHD and renal dysfunction correlated with tacrolimus whole blood levels as measured by the IMx assay. Data were analyzed for 97 adults treated in a multicenter trial of tacrolimus and methotrexate or methylprednisolone as GVHD prophylaxis after unrelated donor marrow transplantation. The rate of grades II-IV GVHD was 49%; 81% of patients had a doubling of the serum creatinine; and 61% had a serum creatinine
