Participant Flow

Stable, adult kidney transplant recipients being treated with tacrolimus (Prograf)-based immunosuppressive regimen.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) treatment period was from Day 1 - 35. Participants who completed the PK period were eligible to continue receiving tacrolimus MR in the extended treatment period, from Day 36 up to 60 months.

Measure
Tacrolimus Modified Release
Participants were enrolled into the study on their stable twice-daily (bid) dose of tacrolimus on Day 1 and continued to receive a stable bid dose of tacrolimus through Day 7. Participants then converted to Tacrolimus Modified Release (MR), administered once daily at an equivalent dose to the patient's previous stable total daily dose of tacrolimus. Participants who completed the 4-week pharmacokinetic treatment period with tacrolimus MR could continue receiving tacrolimus MR as part of the extended treatment period of the study. Dose adjustments were allowed in order to maintain tacrolimus trough concentrations within the target range of 5 to 15 ng/mL and for clinical reasons.

The primary reason for graft loss was recorded by the Investigator. Graft loss was defined as graft failure (re-transplant or permanent return to dialysis) or death. GBM = glomerular basement membrane.

Measure
Tacrolimus Modified Release
n=9 Participants
Participants were enrolled into the study on their stable twice-daily (bid) dose of tacrolimus on Day 1 and continued to receive a stable bid dose of tacrolimus through Day 7. Participants then converted to Tacrolimus Modified Release (MR), administered once daily at an equivalent dose to the patient's previous stable total daily dose of tacrolimus. Participants who completed the 4-week pharmacokinetic treatment period with tacrolimus MR could continue receiving tacrolimus MR as part of the extended treatment period of the study. Dose adjustments were allowed in order to maintain tacrolimus trough concentrations within the target range of 5 to 15 ng/mL and for clinical reasons.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the first dose of tacrolimus MR formulation through the day of last dose plus 10 days (approximately 60 months).

Population: Modified safety analysis set

An adverse event was defined as any reaction, side effect or other untoward medical occurrence, regardless of the relationship to study drug which occurred during the conduct of a clinical study. Clinically significant adverse changes in clinical status, routine laboratory studies or physical examinations were considered adverse events. A serious adverse event was any adverse event occurring at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: * Death * Life-threatening adverse event * Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * Persistent or significant disability or incapacity * Congenital abnormality or birth defect * Important medical event.

Measure
Tacrolimus Modified Release
n=67 participants at risk
Participants were enrolled into the study on their stable twice-daily (bid) dose of tacrolimus on Day 1 and continued to receive a stable bid dose of tacrolimus through Day 7. Participants then converted to Tacrolimus Modified Release (MR), administered once daily at an equivalent dose to the patient's previous stable total daily dose of tacrolimus. Participants who completed the 4-week pharmacokinetic treatment period with tacrolimus MR could continue receiving tacrolimus MR as part of the extended treatment period of the study. Dose adjustments were allowed in order to maintain tacrolimus trough concentrations within the target range of 5 to 15 ng/mL and for clinical reasons.
