RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Excess aldosterone accelerates chronic kidney disease progression. This phase 2 clinical trial assessed BI 690517, an aldosterone synthase inhibitor, for efficacy, safety, and dose selection. METHODS: This was a multinational, randomised, controlled, phase 2 trial. People aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 30 to less than 90 mL/min/1·73 m2, a urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) of 200 to less than 5000 mg/g, and serum potassium of 4·8 mmol/L or less, taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to 8 weeks of empagliflozin or placebo run-in, followed by a second randomisation (1:1:1:1) to 14 weeks of treatment with once per day BI 690517 at doses of 3 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg, or placebo. Study participants, research coordinators, investigators, and the data coordinating centre were masked to treatment assignment. The primary endpoint was the change in UACR measured in first morning void urine from baseline (second randomisation) to the end of treatment. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05182840) and is completed. FINDINGS: Between Feb 18 and Dec 30, 2022, of the 714 run-in participants, 586 were randomly assigned to receive BI 690517 or placebo. At baseline, 33% (n=196) were women, 67% (n=390) were men, 42% (n=244) had a racial identity other than White, and mean participant age was 63·8 years (SD 11·3). Mean baseline eGFR was 51·9 mL/min/1·73 m2 (17·7) and median UACR was 426 mg/g (IQR 205 to 889). Percentage change in first morning void UACR from baseline to the end of treatment at week 14 was -3% (95% CI -19 to 17) with placebo, -22% (-36 to -7) with BI 690517 3 mg, -39% (-50 to -26) with BI 690517 10 mg, and -37% (-49 to -22) with BI 690517 20 mg monotherapy. BI 690517 produced similar UACR reductions when added to empagliflozin. Investigator-reported hyperkalaemia occurred in 10% (14/146) of those in the BI 690517 3 mg group, 15% (22/144) in the BI 690517 10 mg group, and 18% (26/146) in the BI 690517 20 mg group, and in 6% (nine of 147) of those receiving placebo, with or without empagliflozin. Most participants with hyperkalaemia did not require intervention (86% [72/84]). Adrenal insufficiency was an adverse event of special interest reported in seven of 436 study participants (2%) receiving BI 690517 and one of 147 participants (1%) receiving matched placebo. No treatment-related deaths occurred during the study. INTERPRETATION: BI 690517 dose-dependently reduced albuminuria with concurrent renin-angiotensin system inhibition and empagliflozin, suggesting an additive efficacy for chronic kidney disease treatment without unexpected safety signals.

BACKGROUND: In patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), the effects of initiating treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) on the risk for kidney failure with replacement therapy (KFRT) and death remain unclear. PURPOSE: To examine the association of ACEi or ARB treatment initiation, relative to a non-ACEi or ARB comparator, with rates of KFRT and death. DATA SOURCES: Ovid Medline and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration Clinical Trials Consortium from 1946 through 31 December 2023. STUDY SELECTION: Completed randomized controlled trials testing either an ACEi or an ARB versus a comparator (placebo or antihypertensive drugs other than ACEi or ARB) that included patients with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. DATA EXTRACTION: The primary outcome was KFRT, and the secondary outcome was death before KFRT. Analyses were done using Cox proportional hazards models according to the intention-to-treat principle. Prespecified subgroup analyses were done according to baseline age (<65 vs. ≥65 years), eGFR (<20 vs. ≥20 mL/min/1.73 m2), albuminuria (urine albumin-creatinine ratio <300 vs. ≥300 mg/g), and history of diabetes. DATA SYNTHESIS: A total of 1739 participants from 18 trials were included, with a mean age of 54.9 years and mean eGFR of 22.2 mL/min/1.73 m2, of whom 624 (35.9%) developed KFRT and 133 (7.6%) died during a median follow-up of 34 months (IQR, 19 to 40 months). Overall, ACEi or ARB treatment initiation led to lower risk for KFRT (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.66 [95% CI, 0.55 to 0.79]) but not death (hazard ratio, 0.86 [CI, 0.58 to 1.28]). There was no statistically significant interaction between ACEi or ARB treatment and age, eGFR, albuminuria, or diabetes (P for interaction > 0.05 for all). LIMITATION: Individual participant-level data for hyperkalemia or acute kidney injury were not available. CONCLUSION: Initiation of ACEi or ARB therapy protects against KFRT, but not death, in people with advanced CKD. PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: National Institutes of Health. (PROSPERO: CRD42022307589).

AIM: This Phase I study evaluated the safety and early efficacy of an aldosterone synthase inhibitor (BI 690517) in people with diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease. METHODS: Double-blind, placebo-controlled study (NCT03165240) at 40 sites across Europe. Eligible participants [estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥20 and <75 ml/min/1.73 m2; urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥200 and <3500 mg/g] were randomized 6:1 to receive once-daily oral BI 690517 3, 10 or 40 mg, or eplerenone 25-50 mg, or placebo, for 28 days. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with drug-related adverse events (AEs). Secondary endpoints included changes from baseline in the UACR. RESULTS: Fifty-eight participants were randomized and treated from 27 November 2017 to 16 April 2020 (BI 690517: 3 mg, n = 18; 10 mg, n = 13; 40 mg, n = 14; eplerenone, n = 4; placebo, n = 9) for 28 days. Eight (13.8%) participants experienced drug-related AEs [BI 690517: 3 mg (two of 18); 10 mg (four of 13); 40 mg (two of 14)], most frequently constipation [10 mg (one of 13); 40 mg (one of 14)] and hyperkalaemia [3 mg (one of 18); 10 mg (one of 13)]. Most AEs were mild to moderate; one participant experienced severe hyperkalaemia (serum potassium 6.9 mmol/L; BI 690517 10 mg). UACR responses [≥20% decrease from baseline (first morning void urine) after 28 days] were observed for 80.0% receiving BI 690517 40 mg (eight of 10) versus 37.5% receiving placebo (three of eight). Aldosterone levels were suppressed by BI 690517, but not eplerenone or placebo. CONCLUSIONS: BI 690517 was generally well tolerated, reduced plasma aldosterone and may decrease albuminuria in participants with diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease.

AIM: To explore the effect of canagliflozin on kidney and cardiovascular events and safety outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease across geographic regions and racial groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A stratified Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess efficacy and safety outcomes by geographic region and racial group. The primary composite outcome was a composite of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), doubling of the serum creatinine (SCr) level, or death from kidney or cardiovascular causes. Secondary outcomes included: (i) cardiovascular death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization; (ii) cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke; (iii) HF hospitalization; (iv) doubling of the SCr level, ESKD or kidney death; (v) cardiovascular death; (vi) all-cause death; and (vii) cardiovascular death, MI, stroke, or hospitalization for HF or for unstable angina. RESULTS: The 4401 patients were divided into six geographic region subgroups: North America (n = 1182, 27%), Central and South America (n = 941, 21%), Eastern Europe (n = 947, 21%), Western Europe (n = 421, 10%), Asia (n = 749, 17%) and Other (n = 161, 4%). The analyses included four racial groups: White (n = 2931, 67%), Black or African American (n = 224, 5%), Asian (n = 877, 20%) and Other (n = 369, 8%). Canagliflozin reduced the relative risk of the primary composite outcome in the overall trial by 30% (hazard ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.59-0.82; P = 0.00001). Across geographic regions and racial groups, canagliflozin consistently reduced the primary composite endpoint without evidence of heterogeneity (interaction P values of 0.39 and 0.91, respectively) or significant safety outcome differences. CONCLUSIONS: Canagliflozin reduces the risk of kidney and cardiovascular events similarly across geographic regions and racial groups.

BACKGROUND: Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors have been shown to reduce serum urate concentration. The Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) Program integrated data from two similarly designed, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (CANVAS and CANVAS-Renal) assessing the cardiovascular and renal safety of canagliflozin compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this post-hoc analysis, we aimed to investigate the effect of canagliflozin compared with placebo on gout in the CANVAS Program. METHODS: In the CANVAS Program, individuals with type 2 diabetes and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease were randomly assigned to receive either canagliflozin (100 or 300 mg) or placebo. In this post-hoc analysis, we assessed the effects of canagliflozin versus placebo on serum urate concentration using mixed linear models and the occurrence of either an adverse event attributed to gout flare or the commencement of a drug for gout using Kaplan-Meier analysis with Cox proportional hazards models to determine a hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CIs. All analyses were done according to the principle of intention to treat, and there was no imputation for missing data. FINDINGS: 10â142 participants were included in analyses. At baseline, mean age was 63 years (SD 8), 3633 (36%) participants were female, mean serum urate concentration was 348·9 µmol/L (95·5), and 471 (5%) of participants had a history of gout. Mean follow-up was 3·6 years (SD 2·0) and mean serum urate concentration was -23·3 µmol/L (95% CI -25·4 to -21·3) lower in participants treated with canagliflozin than in those who received placebo, equating to a 6·7% reduction in serum urate (percentage difference -6·7%, 95% CI -7·3 to -6·1). During follow-up, 80 individuals reported an episode of gout flare and 147 commenced a drug for gout. The occurrence of gout flare or the need for treatment for gout was lower in participants treated with canagliflozin than in those who received placebo (HR 0·53, 95% CI 0·40-0·71; p<0·0001). The proportional reduction for gout flare adverse events (2·0 patients with an event per 1000 patient-years in the canagliflozin group vs 2·6 patients with an event per 1000 patient-years in the placebo group; 0·64, 95% CI 0·41-0·99; p=0·046) was similar in size to that for commencement of a drug for gout (3·3 vs 5·4 patients with an event per 1000 patient-years; 0·52, 0·38-0·72; p<0·0001) and hyperuricaemia (1·8 vs 2·5 patients with an event per 1000 patient-years; 0·59, 0·37-0·93; p=0·023). INTERPRETATION: In this post-hoc analysis, compared with placebo, canagliflozin reduced serum urate concentration and also reduced events related to gout flare among patients with type 2 diabetes. A trial explicitly designed to test the effects of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibition on gout is required to confirm these observations. FUNDING: Janssen Research & Development.
