Undersøgelserne af Rapamune som vedligeholdelsesbehandling viste, at langsigtet behandling med Rapamune effektivt bidrog til den nye nyres overlevelse og gav en forbedring af, hvor godt den nye nyre fungerede og en af forbedring af blodtrykket, når ciclosporinbehandlingen blev stoppet.
The maintenance studies showed that long-term treatment with Rapamune was effective in helping the new kidney to survive, with an improvement in how well the new kidney worked and an improvement in blood pressure when ciclosporin treatment was stopped.
