Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the study drug is safe, tolerable and active in reducing fluid overload/weight gain between dialysis sessions for patients with End Stage Renal Disease on Hemodialysis.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of the study drug in male and female patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. The study consists of a 2 week treatment-free run-in period where entry criteria are verified, a 4-week treatment period, of which the first week of treatment will be performed as an in-patient study in a clinical pharmacology unit (CPU) and the remaining three weeks of treatment will performed as an out-patient study, and a 2-week treatment-free follow-up period. Safety assessments will be performed at regular intervals and will include clinical and vital signs, clinical laboratory evaluations, ECGs, and AE monitoring. Pharmacodynamic assessments will include, but are not limited to, interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), blood pressure, and stool sodium excretion. Pharmacokinetic assessments will include blood sampling for measurement of study drug plasma concentrations.

Outcome results

Primary

Change in Mean Weekly Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG)

Patients are weighed pre dialysis prior to their first dialysis of the week. This measure looks at the change in pre-dialysis weight over time

Time frame: Run-in period (Weeks -2 and -1) versus Week 4 (end of treatment)

Population: The out-patient arms were the only groups that were pre-specified to be included in this analysis since the in-patient arms were only treated for one week.

ArmMeasureValue (MEAN)Dispersion
AZD1722 Out-patientChange in Mean Weekly Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG)-0.26 kilogramsStandard Deviation 0.939
Placebo Out-patientChange in Mean Weekly Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG)-0.23 kilogramsStandard Deviation 0.871
Comparison: AZD1722 in-patient and Placebo in-patient are not included in this analysis since it was only a one week evaluation period and an effect was not expected. Also the size (n=8) of the group was too small to .perform this analysis.p-value: 0.46ANCOVA
Secondary

Stool Sodium Content

The amount of sodium in a days worth of stool output

Time frame: Days 1 through 7

Population: The in-patient arms were the only groups pre-specified to be used in this analysis since stool could only be collected in the clinical pharmacology unit (in-patient).

ArmMeasureValue (MEAN)Dispersion
AZD1722 Out-patientStool Sodium Content36.62 mEq/dayStandard Deviation 21.809
Placebo Out-patientStool Sodium Content2.82 mEq/dayStandard Deviation 2.655
Comparison: AZD1722 out-patient and Placebo out-patient were not included in this analysis since stool was only collected in the clinical pharmacology unit of the in-patient groups.p-value: <0.0001t-test, 2 sided
