Therapies on the Horizon for Diabetic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic nephropathy is rapidly becoming the major cause of end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. Standard of care therapies include strict glycemic control and blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. While these treatments slow progression of diabetic nephropathy, they do not arrest or reverse it. Newer therapies targeting multiple molecular pathways involved in renal inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress have shown promise in animal models. Subsequently, many of these agents have been investigated in clinical human trials with mixed results. In this review, we will discuss recent findings of novel agents used in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Horizon 2020 in Diabetic Kidney Disease: The Clinical Trial Pipeline for Add-On Therapies on Top of Renin Angiotensin System Blockade.

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease is the most frequent cause of end-stage renal disease. This implies failure of current therapeutic approaches based on renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade. Recent phase 3 clinical trials of paricalcitol in early diabetic kidney disease and bardoxolone methyl in advanced diabetic kidney disease failed to meet the primary endpoint or terminated on safety concerns, respectively. However, various novel strategies are undergoing phase 2 and 3 randomized controlled trials targeting inflammation, fibrosis and signaling pathways. Among agents currently undergoing trials that may modify the clinical practice on top of RAS blockade in a 5-year horizon, anti-inflammatory agents currently hold the most promise while anti-fibrotic agents have so far disappointed. Pentoxifylline, an anti-inflammatory agent already in clinical use, was recently reported to delay estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) loss in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-4 diabetic kidney disease when associated with RAS blockade and promising phase 2 data are available for the pentoxifylline derivative CTP-499. Among agents targeting chemokines or chemokine receptors, the oral small molecule C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) inhibitor CCX140 decreased albuminuria and eGFR loss in phase 2 trials. A dose-finding trial of the anti-IL-1? antibody gevokizumab in diabetic kidney disease will start in 2015. However, clinical development is most advanced for the endothelin receptor A blocker atrasentan, which is undergoing a phase 3 trial with a primary outcome of preserving eGFR. The potential for success of these approaches and other pipeline agents is discussed in detail.

The effects of glucose-lowering therapies on diabetic kidney disease.

Project description:Chronic hyperglycemia and its associated metabolic products are key factors responsible for the development and progression of diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). Endocrinologists are tasked with detection and management of early CKD before patients need referral to a nephrologist for advanced CKD or dialysis evaluation. Primary care physicians are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of managing hyperglycemia to prevent or delay progression of CKD. Glycemic control is an integral part of preventing or slowing the advancement of CKD in patients with diabetes; however, not all glucose-lowering agents are suitable for this patient population. The availability of the latest information on treatment options may enable physicians to thwart advancement of serious renal complication in patients suffering from diabetes. This review presents clinical data that shed light on the risk/benefit profiles of three relatively new antidiabetes drug classes, the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 analogs, and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, particularly for patients with diabetic CKD, and summarizes the effects of these therapies on renal outcomes and glycemic control for endocrinologists and primary care physicians. Current recommendations for screening and diagnosis of CKD in patients with diabetes are also discussed.

Antihyperglycemic agents as novel natriuretic therapies in diabetic kidney disease.

Project description:While sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been used for the routine management of type 2 diabetes for several years, it is perhaps their natriuretic effects that are most important clinically. This natriuresis activates tubuloglomerular feedback, resulting in reduced glomerular hypertension and proteinuria, leading to renal protective effects in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME and CANVAS Program trials. In the cardiovascular system, it is likely that plasma volume contraction due to natriuresis in response to SGLT2 inhibition is at least in part responsible for the reduction in the risk of heart failure observed in these trials. We compare this mechanism of action with other antidiabetics. Importantly, other diuretic classes, including thiazide and loop diuretics, have not resulted in such robust clinical benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes, possibly because these older agents do not influence intraglomerular pressure directly. In contrast, SGLT2 inhibitors do have important physiological similarities with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, which also act proximally, and have been shown to activate tubuloglomerular feedback.

Mapping the Single Cell Transcriptomic Response of Murine Diabetic Kidney Disease to Therapies

Project description:In this study, we utilized the db/db, uninephrectomy and renin-hypertension mouse model. We compared vehicle to ACE inhibitor, Rosiglitizone, SGLT2 inhibitor, ACEi + Rosiglitizone and ACEi + SGLT2i at two time points (2 days and 2 weeks). We generated snRNA-seq datasets from all groups comprising nearly 1 million cells. Analysis of the resulting atlas revealed that the different medications affected strikingly different cell types. Combination therapy had the largest effects, but these effects were also largely non-overlapping. This study highlights the cellular complexity of diabetic nephropathy and the effects of different classes of therapy. The results support the development of combination therapies since different drug classes target different cell types in kidney.

New Diabetes Therapies and Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression: the Role of SGLT-2 Inhibitors.

Project description:Purpose of reviewSodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have emerged as a promising drug class for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease. Developed originally as glucose-lowering drugs by enhancing urinary glucose excretion, these drugs also lower many other renal and cardiovascular risk factors such as body weight, blood pressure, albuminuria, and uric acid. Results from the EMPA-REG OUTCOME and CANVAS trials show that these salutary effects translate into a reduction in cardiovascular outcomes and have the potential to delay the progression of kidney function decline. This review summarizes recent studies on the mechanisms and rationale of renoprotective effects.Recent findingsEffects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on the kidney are likely explained by multiple pathways. SGLT-2 inhibitors may improve renal oxygenation and intra-renal inflammation thereby slowing the progression of kidney function decline. Additionally, SGLT-2 inhibitors are associated with a reduction in glomerular hyperfiltration, an effect which is mediated through increased natriuresis and tubuloglomerular feedback and independent of glycemic control. Analogous to diabetic kidney disease, various etiologies of non-diabetic kidney disease are also characterized by single nephron hyperfiltration and elevated albuminuria. This offers the opportunity to reposition SGLT-2 inhibitors from diabetic to non-diabetic kidney disease. Clinical trials are currently ongoing to characterize the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease. The glucose-independent hemodynamic mechanisms of SGLT-2 inhibitors provide the possibility to extend the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors to non-diabetic kidney disease. Ongoing dedicated trials have the potential to change clinical practice and outlook of high-risk patients with diabetic (and non-diabetic) kidney disease.

Diabetic kidney disease.

Project description:The kidney is arguably the most important target of microvascular damage in diabetes. A substantial proportion of individuals with diabetes will develop kidney disease owing to their disease and/or other co-morbidity, including hypertension and ageing-related nephron loss. The presence and severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) identify individuals who are at increased risk of adverse health outcomes and premature mortality. Consequently, preventing and managing CKD in patients with diabetes is now a key aim of their overall management. Intensive management of patients with diabetes includes controlling blood glucose levels and blood pressure as well as blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; these approaches will reduce the incidence of diabetic kidney disease and slow its progression. Indeed, the major decline in the incidence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) over the past 30 years and improved patient prognosis are largely attributable to improved diabetes care. However, there remains an unmet need for innovative treatment strategies to prevent, arrest, treat and reverse DKD. In this Primer, we summarize what is now known about the molecular pathogenesis of CKD in patients with diabetes and the key pathways and targets implicated in its progression. In addition, we discuss the current evidence for the prevention and management of DKD as well as the many controversies. Finally, we explore the opportunities to develop new interventions through urgently needed investment in dedicated and focused research.

The Aggressive Diabetic Kidney Disease in Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes: Pathogenetic Mechanisms and Potential Therapies.

Project description:Youth-onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) represents a major burden worldwide. In the last decades, the prevalence of T2DM became higher than that of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), helped by the increasing rate of childhood obesity. The highest prevalence rates of youth-onset T2DM are recorded in China (520 cases/100,000) and in the United States (212 cases/100,000), and the numbers are still increasing. T2DM young people present a strong hereditary component, often unmasked by social and environmental risk factors. These patients are affected by multiple coexisting risk factors, including obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, and inflammation. Juvenile T2DM nephropathy occurs earlier in life compared to T1DM-related nephropathy in children or T2DM-related nephropathy in adult. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is T2DM major long term microvascular complication. This review summarizes the main mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the DKD in young population and the recent evolution of treatment, in order to reduce the risk of DKD progression.

Hepatocellular carcinoma, novel therapies on the horizon.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and is associated with high mortality rate. Incidence remains high due to the persistent prevalence of viral hepatitis, alcoholic cirrhosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NFLD). Despite screening efforts, the majority of patients present with advanced disease, add to the high risk of recurrence after curative surgery. Conventional chemotherapy did not alter the nature history of advanced and metastatic HCC. The discovery of multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) led to the approval of sorafenib as first efficacious therapy. A new era in the treatment paradigm of HCC is evolving. Since the advent of sorafenib as an active treatment option for patients presenting with advanced or metastatic disease, several agents have been examined. This was linked with many failures, and success stories to celebrate. Herein, we describe the historical progress and current advances of systemic therapies post-sorafenib. Lenvatinib, regorafenib, cabozantinib, ramucirumab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab, are all presently added and available therapeutic options in the advanced setting. The evaluation of novel treatment combinations including anti-angiogenic, TKIs plus checkpoint inhibitors, add to dual checkpoint inhibitors is evolving rapidly starting with the advent of the combination of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. Combining local and systemic therapies is being actively investigated, as an option for locally advanced disease conventionally treated with locoregional approaches. The horizon remains promising and continues to evolve for HCC a disease long considered with unmet needs.
