Retrospective Analysis Assessing Clinical Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Events and Mortality and Development of a Risk Calculator in Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 on Dialysis

Completed
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Interventions
Other: Non-interventional
Registration Number
NCT04042350
Lead Sponsor
Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate which clinical and laboratory factors are associated with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis.

The study will also establish a cardiovascular (CV) risk equation appropriate for this dialysis population.

Detailed Description

This study is a retrospective analysis of dialysis dependent CKD patients participating in AURORA. The retrospective analysis will be performed using the AURORA study database.

AURORA was a prospective clinical trial in which dialysis patients were randomly assigned to rosuvastatin or placebo, sponsored by AstraZeneca. Patients included in the AURORA study who had end stage renal disease (ESRD) and had been treated with regular hemodialysis or hemofiltration for at least 3 months. Patients were recruited from approximately 300 centers in 25 countries.

The clinical study data is held by AstraZeneca AB, Sweden.

No formal sample size calculation was performed. The sample size is based on the available data from the AURORA study.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients who participated in the AURORA study. In brief, men and women who had ESRD and had been treated with regular hemodialysis or hemofiltration for at least 3 months (patients were recruited from 280 centers in 25 countries).
Exclusion Criteria
  • The major exclusion criteria in AURORA were statin therapy within the previous 6 months, expected kidney transplantation within 1 year, and serious hematologic, neoplastic, gastrointestinal, infectious, or metabolic disease (excluding diabetes) that was predicted to limit life expectancy to less than 1 year.
  • Other exclusion criteria were a history of a malignant condition, active liver disease (indicated by an alanine aminotransferase level that was more than three times the upper limit of the normal range), uncontrolled hypothyroidism, and an unexplained elevation in the creatine kinase level to more than three times the upper limit of the normal range.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to first major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE)Up to a maximum of 5.6 years

A MACE is defined as a non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, and CV mortality.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to CV event: stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic)Up to a maximum of 5.6 years

Time to individual CV event.

Time to CV event: coronary revascularization therapyUp to a maximum of 5.6 years

Time to individual CV event.

Time to CV event: MIUp to a maximum of 5.6 years

Time to individual CV event.

Time to CV event: new onset heart failureUp to a maximum of 5.6 years

Time to individual CV event.

Time to a composite of any CV eventsUp to a maximum of 5.6 years

CV events include non-fatal MI, unstable angina, coronary revascularization therapy, new onset heart failure, non-fatal stroke or all-cause mortality.

Time to CV event: unstable anginaUp to a maximum of 5.6 years

Time to individual CV event.

Time to CV mortalityUp to a maximum of 5.6 years

Time to death caused by a CV event.

Time to all-cause mortalityUp to a maximum of 5.6 years

Time to death from any cause.
