Diabetic Nephropathy, Persistent Proteinuria With Type II Diabetes

Brief summary

The DERENEDIAB study is a proof-of-concept, multi-center, prospective, open, randomized, controlled study of the effectiveness of renal denervation in addition to standardized medical treatment compared to medical treatment alone in diabetic subjects with diabetic nephropathy and resistant proteinuria. Bilateral renal denervation will be performed using the Symplicity Catheter - a percutaneous system that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy through the luminal surface of the renal artery.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPercutaneous renal denervation and TMNS

Patients are treated with the renal denervation procedure after randomization and are maintained on standardized anti-proteinuric medications

DRUGStandardized antiproteinuric medication regimen includes an angiotensin receptor blocker , a diuretic , 25OH vitamin D3 and a statin

Patients are maintained on Standardized antiproteinuric medication regimen includes an angiotensin receptor blocker (irbesartan 300mg), a diuretic (furosemide 40mg or indapamide LP 1.5mg according to the eGFR), 25OH vitamin D3 and a statin (atorvastatin 20mg)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
proteinuria/creatininuria ratiofrom baseline to 1 year

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of the slope of decay of the PU/CrUfrom baseline to 1 year
eGFR is estimated by the MDRD formula, and is expressed in mL/min/1.73m². The direct GFR will be assessed by measuring the 51Cr-EDTA plasmatic clearancefrom baseline to 1 yeareGFR is estimated by the MDRD formula, and is expressed in mL/min/1.73m². The direct GFR will be assessed by measuring the 51Cr-EDTA plasmatic clearance
Outcome of the GFR assessed by 51Cr-EDTA clearancefrom randomisation to 1 yearOnly in the experimental arm
Decrease of the blood pressure assessed on ABPMFrom randomisation to 1 year
Anti-hypertensive regimen scorefrom baseline to 1 year
Number of patients with a decrease of the PU/CrU >50% ratiofrom baseline to 1 year
Evaluation of safety and tolerance of renal denervation in diabetic patients with overt proteinuriafrom baseline to 1 yearin the experimental group:Occurrence of adverse events: acute renal failure, damage on the renal artery (dissection, perforation, thrombosis), allergy to the contrast media, worsening of any dysautonomia
Evaluate the outcome of biological parametersfrom baseline to 1 yeareGFR (MDRD formula), proteinuria/creatininuria ratio
Evaluate the diabetic neuropathy/dysautonomyfrom randomisation to 1 yearin the experimental:blood pressure in orthostatism, pulse wave velocimetry, RR interval on the Holter ECG, cutaneous baroreflex
Evaluate the outcome of specific kidney injury markersfrom randomisation to 1 yearin the experimental group:urinary levels of KIM1 and NGAL before and 1 year after the denervation
Evaluation of the renal arterial anatomyfrom baseline to 1 yearin the experimental group:number of principal renal artery. Should be 1/ kidney of at least 4mm diameter and 10mm long. One accessory artery is acceptable if \<
