A Phase 2, Placebo-Controlled Study To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of PF-00489791 In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes And Overt Nephropathy

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Diabetic Nephropathies
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01200394
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

PF-00489791 is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5. Our hypothesis is that PF-00489791 will enhance the relaxation of blood vessels within the kidney and so reduce blood pressure, improving renal function.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Urinary Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) at Week 12Baseline, Week 12 (Day 5, 6, 7)

UACR was ratio of albumin measured in urine (milligram) to creatinine measured in urine (millimole), reported in units milligram per millimole (mg/mmol). A decrease in UACR may be associated with improved renal and cardiovascular function. The mean values of the 3 consecutive first morning void urine samples (obtained 2 days prior to \[Day 5, 6 of Week 12\], and with last sample collected on the morning of scheduled clinic visit \[Day 7 of Week 12\]) were used to determine UACR at the scheduled clinic visit. The mean values of the 3 consecutive first morning void urine samples obtained at screening were used to determine baseline UACR.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Urinary Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) at Week 3, 6 and 16Baseline, Week 3 (Day 5, 6, 7), Week 6 (Day 5, 6, 7), Week 16 (Day 5, 6, 7)

UACR was ratio of albumin measured in urine (milligram) to creatinine measured in urine (millimole), reported in units mg/mmol. A decrease in UACR may be associated with improved renal and cardiovascular function. The mean values of the 3 consecutive first morning void urine samples (obtained 2 days prior to \[Day 5, 6 of specified Week\], and with last sample collected on the morning of scheduled clinic visit \[Day 7 of specified Week\]) were used to determine UACR at the scheduled clinic visit. The mean values of the 3 consecutive first morning void urine samples obtained at screening were used to determine baseline UACR.

Change From Baseline in Urinary Protein Creatinine Ratio (UPCR) at Week 3, 6, 12, and 16Baseline, Week 3 (Day 5, 6, 7), Week 6 (Day 5, 6, 7), Week 12 (Day 5, 6, 7), Week 16 (Day 5, 6, 7)

UPCR is a ratio between two measured substances in urine: milligram of protein per millimole (mmol) of creatinine, reported in units mg/mmol. A decrease in UPCR may be associated with improved renal and cardiovascular function. The mean values of the 3 consecutive first morning void urine samples (obtained 2 days prior to \[Day 5, 6 of Week 3, 6, 12, 16\], and with last sample collected on the morning of scheduled clinic visit \[Day 7 of Week 3, 6, 12, 16\]) were used to determine UPCR at the scheduled clinic visit. The mean values of the 3 consecutive first morning void urine samples obtained at screening were used to determine baseline UPCR.

Change From Baseline in Serum Creatinine Concentration at Week 3, 6, 12, and 16Baseline, Week 3, 6, 12, 16 (follow-up)

Serum creatinine concentration was used as a marker of renal function. Baseline serum creatinine concentration was determined predose at Week 0 (Day 1).

Change From Baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) at Week 3, 6, 12, and 16Baseline, Week 3, 6, 12, 16 (follow-up)

The eGFR was calculated using 4 variable formula developed by the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) study group. The 4 variables needed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using this formula were serum creatinine concentration (sCr), age, sex (for females, eGFR was multiplied by 0.742) and ethnic origin (for African-Caribbean people only, eGFR was multiplied by 1.212). Thus eGFR in milliliter per minute per 1.73 square meter (mL/min/1.73 m\^2) = 175\*(sCr/88.4)\^-1.154\*(Age)\^-0.203\*(0.742 if female)\*(1.212 if African-Caribbean). Baseline eGFR was determined predose at Week 0 (Day 1).

Systolic, Diastolic and Mean Blood Pressure at Week 0, 3, 6, 12, and 16Week 0, 3, 6, 12, 16 (follow-up)

Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is the blood pressure (pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels) when heart is contracting; it is the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of left ventricle of heart. diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is the blood pressure (pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels) when heart is relaxing; it is the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilation of ventricles of heart. Mean blood pressure (MBP) = diastolic blood pressure + (\[systolic blood pressure - diastolic blood pressure\]/3). After a minimum of 5 minutes of rest, supine BP was measured with the participant's arm supported at the level of the heart.

Change From Baseline in Urine Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) Beta-1 Concentration at Week 3, 6, 12, and 16Baseline, Week 3, 6, 12, 16 (follow-up)

TGF Beta-1 is a major fibrogenic growth factor implicated in the pathogenesis of renal scarring. It is overexpressed in the diabetic kidney where it may promote matrix accumulation. Baseline TGF Beta-1 concentration was determined predose at Week 0 (Day 1).

Change From Baseline in Serum High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) Concentration at Week 12 and 16Baseline, Week 12, 16 (follow-up)

The CRP is an acute phase reactant which is virtually absent from the blood serum of healthy persons but rapidly appears in blood and body fluids in response to injurious stimuli. Baseline hs-CRP was determined predose at Week 0 (Day 1).

Change From Baseline in Serum Cystatin-C Concentration at Week 12 and 16Baseline, Week 12, 16 (follow-up)

Cystatin C is produced by all nucleated cells at a constant rate and is freely filtered at the glomerulus. The blood concentration of cystatin C depends almost entirely on the GFR and is not substantially affected by diet, nutritional status or inflammatory disease. Serum cystatin C had been proposed as an endogenous marker of GFR in participant with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than sCr. Baseline serum cystatin C was determined predose at Week 0 (Day 1).
