About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Effect of SNF472 on Progression of Cardiovascular Calcification on Top of Standard of Care in End-stage-renal-disease (ESRD) Patients on Hemodialysis (HD)

The primary objective is to assess the effect of 2 dose levels of SNF472 (300 mg and 600 mg) compared to placebo on the progression of coronary artery calcium volume score over a 12-month (52 weeks) period in ESRD patients on HD

Read the detailed description

Reducing the progression of cardiovascular calcification (CVC) in HD patients may improve the severe burden of CV disease related to the underlying ESRD. As no therapy is currently indicated to target CVC, there is a need to investigate the ability of SNF472 to reduce CVC progression and, ultimately, to improve CV outcomes in HD patients. This phase 2b double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study is designed to assess the effect of SNF472 on the progression of CVC as measured by calcium volume and CAC/Agatston scores in ESRD patients receiving HD. The study hypothesis is that administration of SNF472 over 52 weeks can slow the progression of CVC in this patient population compared to placebo.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Log CAC Volume Score From Baseline to Week 52 for the Combined Dose Groups vs Placebo

    Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) Volume Score is a calculation to quantify the calcification of coronary artery calcium without factoring in the calcium density as measured by the CAC Agatston Score. The CAC Score was log-transformed and the primary outcome measure was the change in Log CAC Volume Score from Baseline to Week 52 for the combined dose groups vs placebo. The primary analysis used an ANCOVA model with the change in log volume score (log 52-week volume score - log baseline volume score) as the dependent variable and with a fixed effect term for the combined randomized treatment groups and log CAC volume score at baseline as a covariate. The least squares means for the treatment groups was estimated and back transformed.

    A smaller change from baseline to follow up is a better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 1, Day 1) and Week 52

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change in Log CAC Volume Score From Baseline to Week 52 for Each Dose Group (300 mg and 600 mg) vs Placebo

    Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) Volume Score is a calculation to quantify the calcification of coronary artery calcium without factoring in the calcium density as measured by the CAC Agatston Score. The CAC Score was log-transformed and the primary outcome measure was the change in Log CAC Volume Score from Baseline to Week 52 for the combined dose groups vs placebo. This secondary outcome measure was the change in Log CAC Volume Score from Baseline to Week 52 for each dose group vs placebo. The analysis used an ANCOVA model with the change in log volume score (log 52-week volume score - log baseline volume score) as the dependent variable and with a fixed effect term for each randomized treatment groups and log CAC volume score at baseline as a covariate. The least squares means for each of the treatment groups was estimated and back transformed.

    A smaller change from baseline to follow up is a better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 1, Day 1) and Week 52

  2. Change in Log CAC Agatston Score Between Baseline and Week 52 for Each Dose Group (300 mg and 600 mg) vs Placebo and for the Combined Dose Groups vs the Placebo Group

    Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) Agatston Score is a semi-automated tool to calculate a score the reflects the extent of coronary artery calcification as detected by an unenhanced CT scan. Scores range from 0 to >1000 Agatston units where higher scores indicate an increased amount of calcification and an increased risk for a major adverse cardiac event. This secondary outcome measure was the change in Log CAC Agatston Score from Baseline to Week 52 for each dose group and the treated arms combined vs placebo. The analysis used an ANCOVA model with the change in log score (log 52-week score - log baseline score) as the dependent variable and with a fixed effect term for each randomized treatment groups and log CAC score at baseline as a covariate. The least squares means for each of the treatment groups separately and combined was estimated and back transformed.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 1, Day 1) and Week 52

  3. Number of Subjects With <15% Progression in CAC Agatston Score From Baseline to Week 52 for Each Dose Group and the Combined Dose Groups vs Placebo

    Agatston score is a semi-automated tool to calculate a score that reflects the extent of coronary artery calcification as detected by an unenhanced CT scan. Scores range from 0 to >1000 Agatston units where higher scores indicate an increased amount of calcification and an increased risk for a major adverse cardiac event. Change in Agatston Score values from baseline to Week 52 were calculated as a percentage of change (progression or worsening of calcification). The number of subjects with <15% progression were counted.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 1, Day 1) and Week 52

  4. Number of Subjects With >=15% Progression in CAC Agatston Score at Week 52 for Each Dose Group and the Combined Dose Groups vs Placebo

    Agatston score is a semi-automated tool to calculate a score the reflects the extent of coronary artery calcification as detected by an unenhanced CT scan. Scores range from 0 to >1000 Agatston units where higher scores indicate an increased amount of calcification and an increased risk for a major adverse cardiac event. Change in Agatston Score values from baseline to Week 52 was calculated as a percentage of change (progression or worsening of calcification). The number of subjects with >=15% progression were counted for each treatment group, the combined treatments groups and placebo.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 1, Day 1) and Week 52

  5. Change in Log Thoracic Aorta Calcification Volume Score Between Baseline and Week 52 for Each Dose Group (300 mg and 600 mg) vs Placebo and the Combined Dose Groups vs Placebo

    Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) Volume Score is a calculation to quantify the calcification of coronary artery calcium without factoring in the calcium density as measured by the CAC Agatston Score. The CAC volume score observed in the thoracic aorta was used for this analysis. The CAC volume Score was log-transformed and the primary outcome measure was the change in Log CAC Volume Score from Baseline to Week 52 for the combined dose groups and each dose group vs placebo. The secondary analysis used an ANCOVA model with the change in log volume score (log 52-week volume score - log baseline volume score) as the dependent variable and with a fixed effect term for the combined randomized treatment groups and log CAC volume score at baseline as a covariate. The least squares means for the treatment groups was estimated and back transformed.

    A smaller change from baseline to follow up is a better outcome.

  6. Change in Log Thoracic Aorta Calcification Agatston Score Between Baseline and Week 52 for Each Dose Group (300 mg and 600 mg) vs Placebo and the Combined Dose Groups vs Placebo

    Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) Agatston Score is a semi-automated tool to calculate a score that reflects the extent of coronary artery calcification as detected by an unenhanced CT scan. Scores range from 0 to >1000 Agatston units where higher scores indicate an increased amount of calcification and an increased risk for a major adverse cardiac event. This secondary outcome measure was the change in CAC Agatston Score in the thoracic aorta from Baseline to Week 52 for each dose group and the treated arms combined vs placebo. The analysis used an ANCOVA model with the change in log score (log 52-week score - log baseline score) as the dependent variable and with a fixed effect term for each randomized treatment groups and log CAC score at baseline as a covariate. The least squares means for each of the treatment groups separately and combined was estimated and back transformed. A smaller change from baseline to follow up is a better outcome.
