Conditions

CKD - Chronic Kidney Disease, T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)

Brief summary

This study aims to investigate the impact of adding Ganagliflozin tablets to the current background therapy on preventing the progression of kidney disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The efficacy and safety will be evaluated by comparing the effects of Ganagliflozin tablets and placebo tablets added to the current background treatment over 120 weeks

Detailed description

A phase IV clinical study on the efficacy and safety of Ganagliflozin in treating patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel controlled). 1244 subjects all received a stable dose of ACEi or ARB for at least 4 weeks before enrollment. Efficacy assessment: Compared with the placebo group, time to the first occurrence of kidney disease progression and the changes in eGFR slope, UACR, and score of KDQOL-36 were evaluated.

Inclusion criteria

* Male or female individuals aged 18 years and above; * Meets the diagnostic criteria for T2DM; * Meets the diagnostic criteria for CKD, during the screening period(CKD-EPI Formula): eGFR ≥ 30 to \< 60 mL/min/1.73m\^2, and UACR is ≥ 30 to \< 5000 mg/g; Or eGFR ≥ 60 to \< 90 mL/min/1.73m\^2, and UACR is ≥ 300 to \< 5000 mg/g ; * HbA1c ≥ 6.5% to ≤ 12%; * If there are no contraindications or special instructions, all subjects must take a stable dose of ACEi or ARB at least 4 weeks before randomization;

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with type 1 diabetes or other special types of diabetes; * A medical history or clinical evidence indicating that the subjects have other primary kidney diseases and secondary kidney diseases other than type 2 diabetes (including but not limited to lupus nephritis, ANCA-related nephritis); * History of kidney transplantation; * Blood potassium level \> 5.5 mmol/L during the screening period. * New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of grade IV during the screening period; * Experienced ketoacidosis, myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), hospitalization due to heart failure, or hospitalization due to urinary tract infection or acute kidney injury within 12 weeks before the screening period; * Receiving ACEi and ARB in combination; * Receiving mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) or direct renin inhibitors (DRI) within 8 weeks before randomization; * Receiving drugs with immunosuppressive effects (such as cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, etc.) or biological agents (rituximab, belimumab, etc.) during the 12 weeks before the screening period; * Receiving SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists within 8 weeks before the screening, or have previously used SGLT-2 inhibitor drugs and discontinued due to poor efficacy.

The average change in eGFR as measured by the total slope of eGFR from baseline to week 2 and week 8,from week 2 and week 8 to week 120from baseline to week 2 and week 8,from week 2 and week 8 to week 120
The changes in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) at each visit compared to the baselinefrom baseline to week 120
Changes in the scores of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-36 Scale (KDQOL-36) compared to the baselinefrom baseline to week 120The higher the score, the better the patient's quality of life related to CKD
Changes in the scores of the European Five-Dimensional Health Scale (EQ-5D-5L) compared to the baselinefrom baseline to week 120Higher the score means the better quality of life
Time to the first occurrence of kidney disease progressionfrom baseline to Week 120The progression of kidney disease is defined as: 1. maintenance dialysis or 2. receipt of a kidney transplant or 3. sustained decline in eGFR to \< 15 mL/min/1.73m\^2 or 4. a sustained decline of ≥ 40% in eGFR from baseline or 5. doubling of serum creatinine or 6. renal death
