    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background/Aims: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 and kidney disease in these patients varies widely between European countries. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 In addition to store bio-samples the “Prospective cohort study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for validation of biomarkers” collects information on history, physical status, laboratory measurements and medication in 4000 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, being taken care of at the primary level of healthcare in 5 European countries (Austria, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland and Scotland). Next to comparing the rate of loss of eGFR between the countries, a further objective of the PROVALID study is to determine the 5-year cumulative incidence of renal and cardiovascular outcomes. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The mean age of the population recruited is 62.9±10 years, 54.6% are male and the mean BMI is 30.9±5.4 kg/m 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 . Metabolic control (median HBA1c 6.8 % (6.2; 7.5)) is achieved via administration of metformin in 67.4% of the patients and insulin in 30.3%. Median systolic and diastolic blood pressure at recruitment is 135 (125; 146) and 80 (72; 85) mmHg, 65.4% of subjects received RAAS blocking agents. Mean eGFR is 80.7±29.2 ml/min/1.73m 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 and median baseline albumin/creatinine ratio 8.3 mg (IQR: 3.8 and 25.1). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 PROVALID will provide information on incidence and progression of renal and cardiovascular disease and therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in different European countries. Thus, in contrast to many other cohort studies we will be able to associate national clinical practise pattern with outcome in this highly vulnerable patient population.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Introduction: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Type 2 diabetes and its complications represent a huge burden to public health. With this prospective, observational cohort study, we aimed to estimate and to compare the incidence rate (IR) of renal and cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes in different European countries. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The renal endpoint was a composite of a sustained decline in estimated GFR of at least 40%, a sustained increase in albuminuria of at least 30% including a transition in albuminuria class, progression to kidney failure with replacement therapy, or death from renal causes. The cardiovascular endpoint was a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 3,131 participants from four European countries (Austria, Hungary, The Netherlands, and Scotland) with a median follow-up time of 4.4 years were included. IRs were adjusted for several risk factors including sex, age, estimated GFR, albuminuria, HbA 〈 sub 〉 1c 〈 /sub 〉 , blood pressure, and duration of type 2 diabetes. Across countries, the adjusted IR for the renal endpoint was significantly higher in Hungary and Austria, and the adjusted IR for the cardiovascular endpoint was significantly higher in Scotland and Austria. All-cause mortality was significantly higher in Scotland compared to all other countries. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Our findings show how the longitudinal outcome of patients with type 2 diabetes varies significantly across European countries even after accounting for the distribution of underlying risk factors.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Increases in measured inulin clearance, measured creatinine clearance, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have been observed with bardoxolone methyl in 7 studies enrolling approximately 2,600 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The largest of these studies was Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (BEACON), a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial which enrolled patients with T2D and CKD stage 4. The BEACON trial was terminated after preliminary analyses showed that patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced significantly higher rates of heart failure events. We performed post-hoc analyses to characterize changes in kidney function induced by bardoxolone methyl. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Patients in ­BEACON ( 〈 i 〉 n 〈 /i 〉  = 2,185) were randomized 1: 1 to receive once-daily bardoxolone methyl (20 mg) or placebo. We compared the effects of bardoxolone methyl and placebo on a post-hoc composite renal endpoint consisting of ≥30% decline from baseline in eGFR, eGFR & #x3c;15 mL/min/1.73 m 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 , and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) events (provision of dialysis or kidney transplantation). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Consistent with prior studies, patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced mean increases in eGFR that were sustained through study week 48. Moreover, increases in eGFR from baseline were sustained 4 weeks after cessation of treatment. Patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl were significantly less likely to experience the composite renal endpoint (hazards ratio 0.48 [95% CI 0.36–0.64]; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉   & #x3c; 0.0001). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusions: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Bardoxolone methyl preserves kidney function and may delay the onset of ESRD in patients with T2D and stage 4 CKD.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus constitutes a global epidemic complicated by considerable renal and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, despite the provision of inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Bardoxolone methyl, a synthetic triterpenoid that reduces oxidative stress and inflammation through Nrf2 activation and inhibition of NF- & #954;B was previously shown to increase estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with CKD associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To date, no antioxidant or anti-inflammatory therapy has proved successful at slowing the progression of CKD. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Herein, we describe the design of Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes: the Occurrence of Renal Events (BEACON) trial, a multinational, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial designed to determine whether long-term administration of bardoxolone methyl (on a background of standard therapy, including RAAS inhibitors) safely reduces renal and cardiac morbidity and mortality. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The primary composite endpoint is time-to-first occurrence of either end-stage renal disease or cardiovascular death. Secondary endpoints include the change in eGFR and time to occurrence of cardiovascular events. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 BEACON will be the first event-driven trial to evaluate the effect of an oral antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug in advanced CKD.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 People with diabetes and kidney disease have a high risk of cardiovascular events and progression of kidney disease. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors lower plasma glucose by reducing the uptake of filtered glucose in the kidney tubule, leading to increased urinary glucose excretion. They have been repeatedly shown to induce modest natriuresis and reduce HbA1c, blood pressure, weight, and albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the effects of these agents on kidney and cardiovascular events have not been extensively studied in patients with type 2 diabetes and established kidney disease. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The Canagliflozin and Renal Endpoints in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation (CREDENCE) trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin ­versus placebo at preventing clinically important kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes and established kidney disease. CREDENCE is a randomized, double-blind, event-driven, placebo-controlled trial set in in 34 countries with a projected duration of ∼5.5 years and enrolling 4,401 adults with type 2 diabetes, estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥30 to & #x3c;90 mL/min/1.73 m 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 , and albuminuria (urinary albumin:creatinine ratio & #x3e;300 to ≤5,000 mg/g). The study has 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (α = 0.05), the composite of end-stage kidney disease, doubling of serum creatinine, and renal or cardiovascular death. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 CREDENCE will provide definitive evidence about the effects of canagliflozin on renal (and cardiovascular) outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and established kidney disease. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Trial Registration: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 EudraCT number: 2013-004494-28; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02065791.
