Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the absolute change in coronary artery calcium volume scores measured by CT scan.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline (Week 1, Day 1) and Week 52;Main Objective: The primary objective is to assess the effect of 2 dose levels of SNF472 (300 mg and 600 mg) compared to placebo on the progression of absolute change in coronary artery calcium volume score over a 12 month (52 weeks) period in ESRD patients on HD.; Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to: •assess change in percent change from baseline (Week 1, Day 1) in coronary artery calcium volume score •assess changes in absolute and percentage change from baseline (Week 1, Day 1) in coronary artery calcium (CAC)/Agatston score •assess the number of patients with <15% progression in CAC/Agatston score •assess the change from baseline in thoracic aorta calcification score •assess the change from baseline in aortic valve calcification score •assess composite safety endpoint of death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and heart failure •assess biomarkers as early signals for treatment efficacy/response •assess changes in bone mineral density (BMD) •describe the long-term safety profile of SNF472 in this target population | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • percentage change from baseline in calcium volume score at Week 52 • absolute change from baseline in CAC/Agatston score at Week 52 • percentage change from baseline in CAC/Agatston score at Week 52 • number of patients with <15% progression in CAC/Agatston score at Week 52 • change from baseline in thoracic aorta calcification score at Week 52 • change from baseline in aortic valve calcification score at Week 52 • incidence of composite safety endpoint that include CV death (not all-cause), MI, stroke, and heart failure • mortality rate (all-cause and CV) • change from baseline in levels of selected biomarkers The endpoints above will be analysed as efficacy as well as safety endpoints. The following secondary safety endpoints will be analysed: • changes in BMD levels between baseline and Week 52 • safety of SNF472 in terms of adverse event (AE) and SAE incidences ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 52 | — |
