Circulating TNF receptors 1 and 2 predict stage 3 CKD in type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Elevated plasma concentrations of TNF receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR1 and TNFR2) predict development of ESRD in patients with type 2 diabetes without proteinuria, suggesting these markers may contribute to the pathogenesis of renal decline. We investigated whether circulating markers of the TNF pathway determine GFR loss among patients with type 1 diabetes. We followed two cohorts comprising 628 patients with type 1 diabetes, normal renal function, and no proteinuria. Over 12 years, 69 patients developed estimated GFR less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) (16 per 1000 person-years). Concentrations of TNFR1 and TNFR2 were strongly associated with risk for early renal decline. Renal decline was associated only modestly with total TNFα concentration and appeared unrelated to free TNFα. The cumulative incidence of estimated GFR less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) for patients in the highest TNFR2 quartile was 60% after 12 years compared with 5%-19% in the remaining quartiles. In Cox proportional hazards analysis, patients with TNFR2 values in the highest quartile were threefold more likely to experience renal decline than patients in the other quartiles (hazard ratio, 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-5.5). The risk associated with high TNFR1 values was slightly less than that associated with high TNFR2 values. TNFR levels were unrelated to baseline free TNFα level and remained stable over long periods within an individual. In conclusion, early GFR loss in patients with type 1 diabetes without proteinuria is strongly associated with circulating TNF receptor levels but not TNFα levels (free or total).

Project description:Rationale & objectiveHyperglycemia exacerbates the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but most glucose-lowering therapies do not address morbidities associated with CKD. Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors offer potential benefits to patients with diabetes and CKD, but their effectiveness may be diminished with decreased kidney function. We aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bexagliflozin, a novel SGLT2 inhibitor, in patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD.Study designPhase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational, randomized trial.Setting & participants54 sites across 4 countries. Patients with CKD stage 3a or 3b, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hemoglobin A1c level of 7.0% to 10.5% and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 30 to 59mL/min/1.73m2 who were taking oral hypoglycemic agents for 8 weeks.InterventionsBexagliflozin, 20mg, daily versus placebo for 24 weeks.OutcomesPrimary outcome was change in percent hemoglobin A1c from baseline to week 24. Secondary end points included changes in body weight, systolic blood pressure, albuminuria, and hemoglobin A1c level stratified by CKD stage.Results312 patients across 54 sites were analyzed. Bexagliflozin lowered hemoglobin A1c levels by 0.37% (95% CI, 0.20%-0.54%); P<0.001 compared to placebo. Patients with CKD stages 3a (eGFR, 45-<60mL/min/1.73m2) and 3b (eGFR, 30-<45mL/min/1.73m2) experienced reductions in hemoglobin A1c levels of 0.31% (P=0.007) and 0.43% (P=0.002), respectively. Bexagliflozin decreased body weight (1.61kg; P<0.001), systolic blood pressure (3.8mm Hg; P=0.02), fasting plasma glucose level (0.76mmol/L; P=0.003), and albuminuria (geometric mean ratio reduction of 20.1%; P=0.03). Urinary tract infection and genital mycotic infections were more common in the bexagliflozin group; otherwise, frequencies of adverse events were comparable between groups.LimitationsNot designed to evaluate the impact of treatment on long-term kidney disease and cardiovascular outcomes.ConclusionsBexagliflozin reduces hemoglobin A1c levels in patients with diabetes and stage 3a/3b CKD and appears to be well tolerated. Additional observed benefits included reductions in body weight, systolic blood pressure, and albuminuria.FundingTrial was sponsored by Theracos Sub, LLC.
