Although the use of antiinflammatory drugs (e.g., high-dose glucocorticoids or interleukin-6 receptor antagonists) in solid-organ transplant recipients may have the additional benefit of protecting against rejection among patients who are receiving tapering courses of the immunosuppressive agents, especially when calcineurin inhibitors are discontinued because of severe disease, their efficacy in the context of solidorgan transplantation warrants testing in clinical trials.
