Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study objective was to evaluate the effect of atrasentan compared with placebo on time to doubling of serum creatinine (DBSC) or the onset of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in participants with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy who were treated with the maximum tolerated labeled daily dose (MTLDD) of a renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor. In addition, the study assessed the effects of atrasentan compared with placebo on cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, urine albumin excretion, changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), as well as the impact on quality of life in participants with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a Phase 3, prospective, randomized, double-blind, enriched-population, placebo controlled, multicenter study in adult participants with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy. Participants who met the inclusion criteria for initial study entry and none of the exclusion criteria were eligible to proceed to the Run-In Period to optimize RAS inhibitor and diuretic doses. Following the Run-In Period, eligible participants entered the 6-week Enrichment Period in which all received atrasentan to determine their urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) response and to assess tolerability of atrasentan. Responders and nonresponders were then randomly assigned to receive atrasentan or placebo in the Double-Blind Treatment Period. The study was performed in 5 to 6 periods in the following sequence: Pre-Screening Period (optional); Screening Period (Visits S1 and S2); Run-In Period (up to 12 weeks; Visits R1 to R6); Enrichment Period (6 weeks; Visits E1 to E5); Double-Blind Treatment Period (randomization to final treatment visit); and Follow-Up Period (Final Treatment to F1 visit \[45 days post treatment\] and other post-treatment visits). The study was prematurely discontinued because of a lower than expected event rate for the renal composite endpoint, which was adjudicated by a blinded independent events adjudication committee (EAC).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participant, or legal representative, had voluntarily signed and dated an Informed Consent Form, approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), after the nature of the study had been explained and the participant had the opportunity to ask questions. The informed consent must have been signed before any study-specific procedures were performed.
* Participant had type 2 diabetes (including participants with latent autoimmune diabetes or insulin-treated participants without a history of diabetic ketoacidosis who also had a negative anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase test AND an elevated post-prandial serum C-peptide level) and had been treated with at least one anti-hyperglycemic medication and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB; RAS inhibitor) for at least 4 weeks prior to the Screening S2 visit.
* For entry into the Run-In Period the participant must have satisfied the following criteria based on the Screening laboratory values:

* Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25 to 75 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 \[until the eGFR cap on participants (approximately 300) with a baseline of \> 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 was reached\] and a urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) greater than or equal to 300 and less than 5,000 mg/g (greater than or equal to 34 mg/mmol and less than 565 mg/mmol);
* Serum albumin greater than or equal to 2.5 g/dL (25 g/L);
* Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) less than or equal to 200 pg/mL (200 ng/L);
* Systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than or equal to 110 and less than or equal to 180 mmHg;
* Serum potassium greater than or equal to 3.5 mEq/L (3.5 mmol/L) and less than or equal to 6.0 mEq/L (6.0 mmol/L);
* Participants on a maximum tolerated labeled daily dose (MTLDD) of a RAS inhibitor for greater than or equal to 4 weeks and on a diuretic at the time of screening and who satisfied the above criteria may have proceeded to the last visit in the Run-In Period (R6);
* Participants already on a MTLDD of a RAS inhibitor for greater than or equal to 4 weeks and not on a diuretic (unless medically contraindicated) at the time of Screening were to start with a diuretic and participate in Run-In for at least 2 weeks.
* For entry into the Enrichment Period the participant must have satisfied the following criteria based on the last visit of the Run-In Period:

* RAS inhibitor at the MTLDD for the previous 4 weeks with no adjustments of the dose;
* Participants that were on a MTLDD RAS inhibitor and not on a diuretic (unless medically contraindicated) at the time of Screening must have been in Run-In for at least 2 weeks.
* For entry into the Double-Blind Treatment Period, participants must have satisfied the following criteria based on the last visit of the Enrichment Period:

* RAS inhibitor at the MTLDD for the previous 6 weeks during the Enrichment Period with no adjustments of the dose;
