Sirolimus
Participants received tacrolimus (extended-release formulation not permitted) within 30 days of transplant, dosed according to center's standard of care. At 3-5 months post-transplant, participants were randomized, tacrolimus was discontinued (withdrawal was to be completed within 2 weeks \[maximum of 4 weeks\] of sirolimus initiation) and participants received sirolimus tablets, orally, at a dose to achieve trough levels of 7-15 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) during the first year post-transplant, then 5-15 ng/mL. Participants remained on an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor (mycophenolate mofetil \[MMF\] or mycophenolate sodium \[MPS\]; switching between the two was permitted). Corticosteroids were maintained at a minimum of 2.5 milligrams per day (mg/day) of prednisone (or equivalent); withdrawal was prohibited after randomization. Participants received study drug during the post-randomization period for up to a maximum of 18 months post-transplant.
Tacrolimus
Participants received tacrolimus (extended-release formulation not permitted) within 30 days of transplant, dosed according to center's standard of care. At 3-5 months post-transplant, participants were randomized and tacrolimus continued. Participants remained on an IMPDH inhibitor (MMF or MPS; switching between the two was permitted). Corticosteroids were maintained at a minimum of 2.5 mg/day of prednisone (or equivalent); withdrawal was prohibited after randomization. Participants received study drug during the post-randomization period for up to a maximum of 18 months post-transplant.

Population: On-Therapy analysis of the slope comprised the data collected from the on-therapy evaluations for all the participants in the ITT population; data collected from participants receiving sirolimus during the first 3 weeks post-randomization for safety monitoring were excluded from the analysis.

GFR was calculated using the MDRD equation using either serum creatinine traceable to IDMS or serum creatinine not traceable to IDMS. Timepoints were calculated as study days, relative to the time of randomization of study medication. All available on-therapy values were included. Observed data were multiplied by a scale factor of 365, expressing the slope as an annual change.

Timeframe: From Baseline to On-Therapy Month 12, from Baseline to On-Therapy Month 24, and from On-Therapy Month 12 up to On-Therapy Month 24

Population: Safety Population; participants at risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus at the beginning of the analysis interval were included and those with pre-existing diabetes were excluded from the analysis. n=number of participants assessed for the specified parameter at a given visit.

Participants were considered as having new onset diabetes during the On-therapy period if any of the below events emerged from baseline to Month 24: 1) at least 30 days continuous, or at least 25 days non-stop (without gap) use of any diabetic treatment after randomization; 2) a fasting glucose greater than or equal to (≥)126 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) after randomization; or 3) a non-fasting glucose ≥200 mg/dL after randomization, were included in the new-onset diabetes population. Events at Months 12 or 24 occurred from baseline to On-therapy Month 12 and from On-therapy Months 12 to 24, respectively.

Sirolimus
n=82 Participants
Participants received tacrolimus (extended-release formulation not permitted) within 30 days of transplant, dosed according to center's standard of care. At 3-5 months post-transplant, participants were randomized, tacrolimus was discontinued (withdrawal was to be completed within 2 weeks \[maximum of 4 weeks\] of sirolimus initiation) and participants received sirolimus tablets, orally, at a dose to achieve trough levels of 7-15 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) during the first year post-transplant, then 5-15 ng/mL. Participants remained on an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor (mycophenolate mofetil \[MMF\] or mycophenolate sodium \[MPS\]; switching between the two was permitted). Corticosteroids were maintained at a minimum of 2.5 milligrams per day (mg/day) of prednisone (or equivalent); withdrawal was prohibited after randomization. Participants received study drug during the post-randomization period for up to a maximum of 18 months post-transplant.

Sirolimus
n=131 participants at risk
Participants received tacrolimus (extended-release formulation not permitted) within 30 days of transplant, dosed according to center's standard of care. At 3-5 months post-transplant, participants were randomized, tacrolimus was discontinued (withdrawal was to be completed within 2 weeks \[maximum of 4 weeks\] of sirolimus initiation) and participants received sirolimus tablets, orally, at a dose to achieve trough levels of 7-15 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) during the first year post-transplant, then 5-15 ng/mL. Participants remained on an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor (mycophenolate mofetil \[MMF\] or mycophenolate sodium \[MPS\]; switching between the two was permitted). Corticosteroids were maintained at a minimum of 2.5 milligrams per day (mg/day) of prednisone (or equivalent); withdrawal was prohibited after randomization. Participants received study drug during the post-randomization period for up to a maximum of 18 months post-transplant.
