39Safety Summary (I)
- Studies 310 and 212 confirm the beneficial safety
profile of RAPAMUNE-based therapy following CsA
elimination - Excellent patient and graft survival
- Similar rates of infection and malignancy
- Significantly lower rates of CsA-related adverse
events - Significant and sustained improvement in blood
pressure in patients in Study 310 - The overall RAPAMUNE safety profile is similar to
that observed when it is administered as a fixed
2 mg dose in combination with CsA
40Safety Summary (II)
- Rates of discontinuation from study medication
were similar to other recent immunosuppressive
registration trials - Reasons for early discontinuation were typical,
with few due to acute rejection - Alternate maintenance therapies were utilized for
patients discontinued from the studies - Cyclosporine was successfully eliminated in the
majority of patients in the RAPAMUNE group
