PRevention of End Stage Kidney Disease by Darbepoetin Alfa In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With nondiabeTic Kidney Disease (PREDICT)

April 17, 2018 updated by: Translational Research Center for Medical Innovation, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan

Prevention of End Stage Kidney Disease by Darbepoetin Alfa In CKD Patients With Non-diabetic Kidney Disease

The purpose of this study is to ask whether treating non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with GFR 8-20mL/min/1.73m2 by darbepoetin Alfa targeting Hb between 11.0 and 13.0g/dL preserves renal function better than targeting Hb between 9.0 and11.0g/dL. The investigators also ask whether the higher Hb targeting 11 to 13g/dL will not cause higher adverse events regarding cardiovascular diseases compared with lower Hb targeting 9 to 11g/dL.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Anemia is common among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and renal events. Although erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) has been used to correct anemia, use of ESA (hemoglobin level at approximately 13 g/dL) did not reduce cardiovascular or renal events in diabetic CKD patients. Subgroup analysis of a recent randomized study suggested that use of darbepoetin alfa targeting Hb between 11 and 13 g/dL may preserve renal function better than targeting Hb between 9 and 11g/dL in non-diabetic CKD patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: High Hb group
Darbepoetin alfa is given to the patients. Target Hb level is 12.0g/dL and it should be maintained greater than or equal to 11.0g/dL and less than 13.0g/dL. If the patients do not have medical history of myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary embolism, unstable angina, or peripheral artery disease, the target Hb level will be greater than or equal to 12.0g/dL and less than 13.0g/dL. Maximum dose of darbepoetin alfa is 240 microgram per 4 weeks.
Drug: Darbepoetin alfa
Darbepoetin alfa is used for targeting Hb level of 11-13g/dL in high Hb group, and 9-11g/dL in low Hb group.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Low Hb group
Darbepoetin alfa is given to the patients. Target Hb level is 10.0g/dL and it should be maintained greater than or equal to 9.0g/dL and less than 11.0g/dL. If the Hb level exceeds 10.0g/dL in patients, reduce the dose amount or stop giving dose.
Drug: Darbepoetin alfa
Darbepoetin alfa is used for targeting Hb level of 11-13g/dL in high Hb group, and 9-11g/dL in low Hb group.
