Defined as the percentage of participants who stop SRL (as test article) between the first day of SRL and either Week 24 or Week 52 following conversion to SRL.

0
Baseline fraction was the last value of the pre-SRL conversion period. Only the last value of U p/c or U alb/c was used for analysis if multiple measurements occurred in the same data anlysis interval. Fraction of albumin and protein was calculated only when urine protein was 6.2 mg/dL or higher. For urine albumin, if the value was reported as '<xx.x', the numerical portion of the value was used in the calculation of fraction of albumin and protein.

SRL Time-Normalized Trough Concentration (Cmin,TN) by Time Interval

Cmin,TN was determined for SRL using the area method for the intervals: 0-2 weeks, >2-4 weeks, >4-12 weeks, >12-24 weeks, >24-36 weeks and >36-52 weeks using the equation:Cmin,TN = AUCi-j/timej-timeiwhere AUC is the area under the concentration-time curve, i is the beginning of the interval and j is the end of the interval. Cmin,TN was calculated for participants who did not dropout of studies, but were missing concentrations at the interval endpoints by carrying the last observed concentration forward to the interval endpoint.

Severity was summarized by type (antibody versus T-cell) and by phase: post-SRL (where both on-therapy and off-therapy events are included) and post-SRL (on-therapy). BCAR was categorized using Banff criteria as antibody-mediated (AM) or T-cell. AM BCAR severity was graded as Grade I (mild), Grade II (moderate [mod]), and Grade III (severe). T-cell BCAR severity was graded as 'Grade Ia, Ib (mild), Grade IIa, IIb (mod), and Grade III (severe). If a participant had both T-cell BCAR and antibody-mediated BCAR on the first rejection, the participant was counted in each category. For participants with T-cell BCAR (post-SRL and post-SRL On -Therapy) the p-value could not be calculated and all events were mild in severity.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of ramipril in preventing a
urinary protein to creatinine ratio (U p/c) greater than 0.5 following conversion to
sirolimus from a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) in maintenance kidney transplant patients.
