Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to offer patients who had participated in one of the phase II PK or phase III studies on FK506E (MR4) the possibility to continue FK506E (MR4) until commercial availability of the drug and to record long term efficacy and safety data.

Primary Outcome

Participant survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier (KM) method procedures at 66 months (phase 2) and 24 months (phase III). The two-sided 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the estimated rates of patients alive at end of study (EOS) was calculated using Greenwood's formula. Start, event and censor times for the Kaplan-Meier analyses of participant survival were (Event time: day of death, Censor Time: day of last follow-up (for participants prematurely withdrawn from the study), and day of last
