Measure
LCP-Tacro
All Patients received Prograf for 7 days, then all patients were converted to once daily LCP-Tacro for 14 days. One dose adjustment up or down 25% was permitted on Day 15. On Day 22 patients were converted back to their original twice daily dose of Prograf for a safety follow-up period of 30 days. LCP-Tacro 1 mg, 2 mg and 5 mg tablets administered orally QD, dosing per conversion algorithm to maintain tacrolimus trough concentrations between 7 to 12 ng/mL.

n=51 participants at risk
LCP-Tacro 1 mg, 2 mg and 5 mg tablets administered orally QD, dosing per conversion algorithm to maintain tacrolimus trough concentrations between 7 to 12 ng/mL. 60 patients were enrolled into the study, but only 51 were dosed with LCP-Tacro.
Prograf
n=59 participants at risk
Prograf 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 5 mg capsules administered orally twice daily, dosing per conversion algorithm to maintain tacrolimus trough concentrations between 7 to 12 ng/mL. 60 patients were entrolled into the study and one withdrew consent right after screening. Therefore 59 patients are inlcuded in the ITT safety set.
