Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to prevent kidney disease progression in adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] between 15-45 mL/min/1.73 m2) using intensive blood pressure control and intensive lipid management with 2X2 factorial design.
Detailed description
The EXploring approaChEs with Lower targets of blood preSsure and lIpid for impOving Renal outcome in advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (EXCELSIOR-CKD) strived to enroll about 642 participants aged ≥19 years with eGFR 15-45 mL/min/1.73 m2, systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥130 mmHg, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥100 mg/dL. The EXCELSIOR-CKD study is a 2X2 factorial design with factors consisting of: intensive versus standard SBP control (120 vs 140 mmHg), and intensive versus standard LDL-C control (70 vs 100 mg/dL). The primary hypothesis was that kidney disease progression event rates would be lower in the intensive arms. Participants would be recruited at 13 clinics over approximately a 2-year period, and are planned to be followed for 3 years.
Interventions
DRUGIntensive control of SBP and intensive control of LDL-C
Eligible participants would be assigned to a SBP target of less than 120 mmHg and a LDL-C target of less than 70 mg/dL.
DRUGIntensive control of SBP and standard control of LDL-C
Eligible participants would be assigned to a SBP target of less than 120 mmHg and a LDL-C target of less than 100 mg/dL.
DRUGStandard control of SBP and intensive control of LDL-C
Eligible participants would be assigned to a SBP target of less than 140 mmHg and a LDL-C target of less than 70 mg/dL.
DRUGStandard control of SBP and standard control of LDL-C
Eligible participants would be assigned to a SBP target of less than 140 mmHg and a LDL-C target of less than 100 mg/dL.
