Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) February 23, 2005 Sponsored by: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00105391 Purpose This study will determine whether the experimental drug pirfenidone can slow kidney disease in patients with diabetes. Diabetes can cause accumulation of proteins in the kidneys, leading to scar formation and eventual kidney failure. Pirfenidone has been beneficial in other diseases involving scar formation, such as pulmonary fibrosis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The drug may be able to slow scar formation in diabetic kidney disease as well, possibly prolonging kidney function. Patients 18 years of age and older with type 1 or 2 diabetes who have increased protein leakage in their urine, whose blood pressure and blood sugar are well controlled, and who are taking ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests. This study is conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Participants are randomly assigned to take either 1200 mg of Pirfenidone, 2400 mg of Pirfenidone, or a placebo (look-alike pill with no active ingredients) by mouth three times a day for 1 year. They return to the clinic 2 weeks after the initial screening visit and then every 3 months throughout the study for fasting blood and urine tests, blood pressure measurement and reviews of any health-related issues. Additional blood samples may be drawn to see if pirfenidone is affecting the level of certain proteins or other related molecules that are thought to be related to kidney disease progression in diabetes. Patients are asked to check their blood pressure at home at least 3 times a week and record it in a log. A patient whose blood pressure is greater than 130/80 must call the doctor to adjust his or her medications. Patients may also need to monitor their blood sugar more frequently than usual (up to 4 times a day) and possibly give more frequent insulin injections to achieve good control of their diabetes. Patients are asked to collect 24-hour urine five times during the study: at baseline, 2 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 54 weeks (end of study). In addition, they are seen by an eye doctor at baseline and at the end of the study to evaluate if pirfenidone may be beneficial for eye problems related to diabetes. Condition Intervention Phase Diabetic Nephropathies Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetic Kidney Disease Drug: Pirfenidone Phase II MedlinePlus related topics: Diabetes; Diabetic Kidney Problems; Juvenile Diabetes Study Type: Interventional Study Design: Treatment, Safety/Efficacy Official Title: Pirfenidone: A Novel Anti-Scarring Therapy for Advanced Diabetic Nephropathy Further Study Details: Expected Total Enrollment: 30 Study start: March 8, 2005 Pirfenidone, initially developed as an anti-helminthic agent, has been shown to reduce fibrosis in multiple experimental models, including pulmonary fibrosis, sclerosing cholangitis, multiple sclerosis, and renal disease. In animal models of renal diseases, pirfenidone reduces glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. The objective of this phase II trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of pirfenidone therapy in patients with diabetic nephropathy. The study is a randomized, double-blind, dose ranging, three-arm study. All subjects will be randomized to one of the following: a daily dose of pirfenidone at 1200 mg, 2400mg, or placebo. Patients will be maintained on the current standard of care for diabetic nephropathy, including an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and/or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), antihypertensive therapy with blood pressure target of less than 130/80, and aggressive glycemic control with target hemoglobin A1C of less than 7%. We will enroll 30 adult patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 20-75 ml/min/1.73m2, greater than 300 mg/d of proteinuria, and blood pressure less than or equal to 140/90 on an ACE inhibitor or an ARB. The duration of therapy will be 54 weeks. The primary endpoint will be the change in renal function from baseline to the end of the study period. Renal function will be assessed by the GFR calculated by the 4-variable Levy equation. The GFR will be calculated based on two serum creatinine measurements obtained two weeks apart at baseline and two measurements at the end of the study period. The secondary endpoints will include the percent change in urine albumin excretion and the levels of urine and plasma TGF-beta from baseline to the end of the study period. All patients enrolled at the NIH will also have assays to measure oxidative damage at baseline and at the end of the study. In addition, NIH patients will undergo ophthalmologic examination at baseline and at the end of the study to assess if pirfenidone has a beneficial or adverse effect on diabetic retinopathy. Eligibility Genders Eligible for Study: Both Criteria INCLUSION CRITERIA : Type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Ages greater than or equal to 18. GFR between 20-75 ml/min/1.73m(2).
