Chronic Kidney Disease

Brief summary

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of LY2623091 in males and females with chronic kidney disease.

Detailed description

This trial consists of 4 treatment arms: 3 LY2623091 dose levels and eplerenone. Each participant will participate in 2 treatment periods, with a minimum wash-out period of 28 days between dosing in the 2 treatment periods. Dosing days will be numbered 1-21 in each of the 2 treatment periods. Participants will receive different treatments in periods 1 and 2. Participants will be housed as inpatients during the days of the controlled diet administration and the oral potassium challenge and until at least 24 hours after its completion (Days -3 to 1; Days 19 to 22, in each treatment period). Otherwise the study will be done on an outpatient basis, with participants returning to the clinic for evaluations during each treatment period (Days 3 or 4, 7, and 14).

Change From Baseline to Day 21 in Proteinuria Based on 24-hours Pooled Urine

Proteinuria was the presence of excess serum protein in the urine. Proteinuria was calculated for each participant after each treatment period. Change was calculated as (Day 21 post-treatment value) minus (baseline value).

Time frame: Over 24 hours at Baseline and on Day 21

Population: All participants who received any study drug and had proteinuria values. Participants were analyzed based on the treatment they received.
