Bardoxolone Methyl Improves Kidney Function in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 4 and Type 2 Diabetes: Post-Hoc Analyses from Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Increases in measured inulin clearance, measured creatinine clearance, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have been observed with bardoxolone methyl in 7 studies enrolling approximately 2,600 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The largest of these studies was Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (BEACON), a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial which enrolled patients with T2D and CKD stage 4. The BEACON trial was terminated after preliminary analyses showed that patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced significantly higher rates of heart failure events. We performed post-hoc analyses to characterize changes in kidney function induced by bardoxolone methyl. METHODS:Patients in -BEACON (n = 2,185) were randomized 1: 1 to receive once-daily bardoxolone methyl (20 mg) or placebo. We compared the effects of bardoxolone methyl and placebo on a post-hoc composite renal endpoint consisting of ?30% decline from baseline in eGFR, eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) events (provision of dialysis or kidney transplantation). RESULTS:Consistent with prior studies, patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced mean increases in eGFR that were sustained through study week 48. Moreover, increases in eGFR from baseline were sustained 4 weeks after cessation of treatment. Patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl were significantly less likely to experience the composite renal endpoint (hazards ratio 0.48 [95% CI 0.36-0.64]; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS:Bardoxolone methyl preserves kidney function and may delay the onset of ESRD in patients with T2D and stage 4 CKD.

Project description:Although inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system can slow the progression of diabetic kidney disease, the residual risk is high. Whether nuclear 1 factor (erythroid-derived 2)-related factor 2 activators further reduce this risk is unknown.We randomly assigned 2185 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR], 15 to <30 ml per minute per 1.73 m(2) of body-surface area) to bardoxolone methyl, at a daily dose of 20 mg, or placebo. The primary composite outcome was end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or death from cardiovascular causes.The sponsor and the steering committee terminated the trial on the recommendation of the independent data and safety monitoring committee; the median follow-up was 9 months. A total of 69 of 1088 patients (6%) randomly assigned to bardoxolone methyl and 69 of 1097 (6%) randomly assigned to placebo had a primary composite outcome (hazard ratio in the bardoxolone methyl group vs. the placebo group, 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70 to 1.37; P=0.92). In the bardoxolone methyl group, ESRD developed in 43 patients, and 27 patients died from cardiovascular causes; in the placebo group, ESRD developed in 51 patients, and 19 patients died from cardiovascular causes. A total of 96 patients in the bardoxolone methyl group were hospitalized for heart failure or died from heart failure, as compared with 55 in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.32 to 2.55; P<0.001). Estimated GFR, blood pressure, and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio increased significantly and body weight decreased significantly in the bardoxolone methyl group, as compared with the placebo group.Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, bardoxolone methyl did not reduce the risk of ESRD or death from cardiovascular causes. A higher rate of cardiovascular events with bardoxolone methyl than with placebo prompted termination of the trial. (Funded by Reata Pharmaceuticals; BEACON ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01351675.).

Project description:IntroductionBardoxolone methyl significantly increases estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the phase 3 study, Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: the Occurrence of Renal Events (BEACON), was terminated prematurely because bardoxolone methyl increased the risk for early-onset fluid overload in patients with identifiable risk factors for heart failure (elevated baseline B-type natriuretic peptide levels >200 pg/ml and prior history of hospitalization for heart failure). The Phase 2 Study of Bardoxolone Methyl in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (TSUBAKI) study aimed to determine if patients without risk factors can mitigate the risk for fluid overload and whether changes in eGFR with bardoxolone methyl reflect true increases in GFR.MethodsThis phase 2, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes and stage 3-4 CKD. Patients were randomized 1:1 to bardoxolone methyl (n = 41) or placebo (n = 41) (cohort G3), or 2:1 to bardoxolone methyl (n = 24) or placebo (n = 14) (cohort G4), administered orally once daily for 16 weeks using a dose-titration scheme. The primary efficacy endpoint was change from baseline in GFR measured by inulin clearance at week 16 in the cohort G3.ResultsA total of 40 patients were evaluated for the prespecified primary efficacy analysis. Mean change (95% confidence interval [CI]) from baseline in GFR was 5.95 (2.29 to 9.60) and -0.69 (-3.83 to 2.45) ml/min per 1.73 m2 for patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl and placebo, respectively, with a significant intergroup difference of 6.64 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (P = 0.008). Increases in the albumin/creatinine ratio were observed in the bardoxolone methyl group vs the placebo group. The most common adverse events (≥15% in either group) were viral upper respiratory tract infection, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased γ-glutamyltransferase, and constipation. Peripheral edema was reported by 4 patients receiving bardoxolone methyl and by 1 patient receiving placebo; all events were mild and self-limiting. No patient died or experienced heart failure. The study discontinuation rate was higher in the bardoxolone methyl group (cohort G3, n = 8; cohort G4, n = 7) than the placebo group (cohort G3, n = 1; cohort G4, n = 0).ConclusionBardoxolone methyl significantly increased measured GFR, and further investigation is ongoing to evaluate whether it provides clinical benefit without major safety concerns in selected patients with CKD.
