Effects of Bardoxolone Methyl on Magnesium in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Treatment with bardoxolone methyl (Bard) in a multinational phase 3 trial, Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (BEACON), resulted in increases in estimated glomerular filtration rate with concurrent reductions in serum magnesium. We analyzed data from several trials to characterize reductions in magnesium with Bard. METHODS:BEACON randomized patients (n = 2,185) with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) 1:1 to receive Bard (20 mg) or placebo once daily. In a separate open-label study, magnesium levels from 24-hour urine and sublingual epithelial cell samples were analyzed in patients with stage 3b-4 CKD and T2DM administered 20 mg Bard for 56 consecutive days. RESULTS:BEACON patients randomized to Bard experienced significant reductions in serum magnesium from baseline relative to patients randomized to placebo (-0.17 mEq/L, 95% CI -0.18 to -0.60 mEq/L; p < 0.001). A separate study showed intracellular and urinary magnesium levels were unchanged with Bard treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Bard treatment results in significant decreases in serum magnesium that are not associated with changes in intracellular and urinary magnesium levels, indicating that magnesium decreases are not due to renal magnesium wasting or total body magnesium depletion. Importantly, the decreases in serum magnesium with Bard are not associated with adverse effects on QT interval.

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:Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure (CHF) in many tissues. Increasing evidence suggests that systemic activation of nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) signaling can protect against postinfarct cardiac remodeling by reducing oxidative stress. However, it remains to be elucidated if Nrf2 activation exerts therapeutic effects in the CHF state. Here, we investigated the beneficial hemodynamic effects of bardoxolone methyl (2-Cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9(11)-dien-28-oic acid methyl ester, CDDO-Me), a pharmacological activator of Nrf2, in a rodent model of CHF. Based on echocardiographic analysis, rats at 12 weeks post-myocardial infarction (MI) were randomly split into four groups. CDDO-Me (5 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered daily for another 2 weeks in sham and CHF rats and compared with vehicle treatment. Echocardiographic and hemodynamic analysis suggest that short-term CDDO-Me administration increased stroke volume and cardiac output in CHF rats and decreased left ventricle end-diastolic pressure. Molecular studies revealed that CDDO-Me-induced cardiac functional improvement was attributed to an increase of both Nrf2 transcription and translation, and a decrease of oxidative stress in the noninfarcted areas of the heart. Furthermore, CDDO-Me reduced NF-κB binding and increased Nrf2 binding to the CREB-binding protein, which may contribute to the selective increase of Nrf2 downstream targets, including NADPH Oxidase Quinone 1, Heme Oxygenase 1, Catalase, and Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Catalytic Subunit, and the attenuation of myocardial inflammation in CHF rats. Our findings suggest that Nrf2 activation may provide beneficial cardiac effects in MI-mediated CHF. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the leading cause of death among the aged worldwide. The imbalance between pro- and antioxidant pathways is a determinant in the pathogenesis of CHF. Systemic activation of Nrf2 and antioxidant protein signaling by bardoxolone methyl may have beneficial effects on cardiac function and result in improvements by enhancing antioxidant enzyme expression and attenuating myocardial inflammation.

Project description:Background and objectivesAlport syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by progressive loss of kidney function. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in patients with Alport syndrome.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe randomly assigned patients with Alport syndrome, ages 12-70 years and eGFR 30-90 ml/min per 1.73 m2, to bardoxolone methyl (n=77) or placebo (n=80). Primary efficacy end points were change from baseline in eGFR at weeks 48 and 100. Key secondary efficacy end points were change from baseline in eGFR at weeks 52 and 104, after an intended 4 weeks off treatment. Safety was assessed by monitoring for adverse events and change from baseline in vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms, laboratory measurements (including, but not limited to, aminotransferases, urinary albumin-creatinine ratio, magnesium, and B-type natriuretic peptide), and body weight.ResultsPatients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced preservation in eGFR relative to placebo at 48 and 100 weeks (between-group differences: 9.2 [97.5% confidence interval, 5.1 to 13.4; P<0.001] and 7.4 [95% confidence interval, 3.1 to 11.7; P=0.0008] ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively). After a 4-week off-treatment period, corresponding mean differences in eGFR were 5.4 (97.5% confidence interval, 1.8 to 9.1; P<0.001) and 4.4 (95% confidence interval, 0.7 to 8.1; P=0.02) ml/min per 1.73 m2 at 52 and 104 weeks, respectively. In a post hoc analysis with no imputation of missing eGFR data, the difference at week 104 was not statistically significant (1.5 [95% confidence interval, -1.9 to 4.9] ml/min per 1.73 m2). Discontinuations from treatment were more frequent among patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl; most discontinuations were due to protocol-specified criteria being met for increases in serum transaminases. Serious adverse events were more frequent among patients randomized to placebo. Three patients in each group developed kidney failure.ConclusionsIn adolescent and adult patients with Alport syndrome receiving standard of care, treatment with bardoxolone methyl resulted in preservation in eGFR relative to placebo after a 2-year study period; off-treatment results using all available data were not significantly different.Clinical trial registry name and registration numberA Phase 2/3 Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Bardoxolone Methyl in Patients with Alport Syndrome - CARDINAL (CARDINAL), NCT03019185.
