September 25, 2013 updated by: AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott)

A Phase 2b, Prospective, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Atrasentan, Including Thoracic Bioimpedance, in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects With Nephropathy

Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Design, Placebo-Controlled Multicenter Study. The study objectives are to evaluate efficacy and safety, including thoracic bioimpedance, of once daily administration of atrasentan tablets (high dose and low dose) compared to placebo in type 2 diabetic subjects with nephropathy who are receiving the maximum tolerated labeled daily dose of a RAS inhibitor.

  6. For entry into the Treatment Period the subject must satisfy the following criteria based on the last visit of the Run-in Period laboratory values:

    • Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) inhibitor at maximum tolerated labeled dose for the previous 4 weeks with no adjustment of dose
    • Diuretic at any dose unless medically contraindicated (with the exception of loop diuretics greater than or equal to 120 mg QD of furosemide or greater than or equal to 3.0 mg QD of bumetanide or greater than or equal to 150 mg QD of ethacrynic acid or greater than or equal to 60 mg QD of torasemide)
    • UACR ≥ 200 mg/g as determined by the median of the three morning void urine specimens obtained prior to the Week -1 visit
    • Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) greater than or equal to 110 mmHg and less than or equal to 160 mmHg
    • Serum Potassium less than or equal to 5.5 mEq/L
    • Negative serum pregnancy test for female subjects

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has a history of moderate or severe edema, facial edema unrelated to trauma, or a history of myxedema in the prior 6 months to Screening.

  3. Subject has a history of pulmonary edema.
  4. Subject has a history of pulmonary hypertension, or any lung diseases requiring oxygen therapy (i.e., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis).
  5. Subject has a history of orthostatic hypotension within the past 6 months as defined by the presence of a supine-to-standing blood pressure decrease greater than or equal to 20 mmHg systolic or greater than or equal to 10 mmHg diastolic within 3 minutes of standing.
