Figure 1 Cumulative response to IV cycloporine in the 2 treatment groups. The percentage of responding patients is expressed at daily intervals from D0 to D8. Gastroenterology 2003 125, 1025-1031DOI: (10.1016/S0016-5085(03)01214-9)
Figure 2 Difference in mean cyclosporine doses and blood concentrations between the 2 treatment groups. Data are expressed as means ± SD. Blood levels were strictly controlled to vary between 150 and 250 ng/mL for the 2-mg/kg group and 250 and 350 for the 4-mg/kg group.
