E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine whether sulodexide, compared to placebo, increases the time to the first occurrence of the composite end point of doubling of the serum creatinine from baseline, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes; and to compare the safety and tolerance of sulodexide with placebo when administered long-term to patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine whether sulodexide, compared to placebo: decreases the incidence rate of the composite endpoint of a doubling of the serum creatinine from baseline or ESRD in patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes, increases the time to the individual outcomes of a doubling of the serum creatinine from baseline and ESRD in patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes, decreases the incidence rates of the individual outcomes of a doubling of the serum creatinine from baseline and ESRD in patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes, decreases urinary protein excretion as measured by protein creatinine ratio (PCR) and albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) in patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes, and changes all-cause mortality. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Information not present in EudraCT |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. The patient must be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: 2. The patient must be diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy as defined by PCR of three first void AM urine samples equal to or greater than 900 mg/G in woman and 650 mg/G in men at Visit 2. Serum creatinine in woman between 1.3 and 3.0 mg/dL, inclusive, and men between 1.5 and 3.0 mg/dL, inclusive, at Visit 1. If the screening serum creatinine falls outside the specified creatinine criteria, a patient may enter the Run-un Period if the GFR by the MDRD formula at Visit 1 is between 25 to 45 mL/min.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Type 1 (insulin-dependent; juvenile onset) diabetes;
2. Renal disease as follows: • Patients with known non-diabetic renal disease (nephrosclerosis superimposed on diabetic nephropathy acceptable), or • Renal allograft;
3. Absolute requirement for combination therapy of Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB);
4. Cardiovascular disease as follows: • Unstable angina pectoris within 3 months of study entry; • Myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty/stent within 3 months of study entry; • Transient ischemic attack within 3 months of study entry; • Cerebrovascular accident within 3 months of study entry; • New York Heart Association Functional Class III or IV (Note: if a patient is New York Heart Association Functional Class I or II and requires an ACEI, consult with the Clinical Coordinating Center to obtain permission for the patient to be on an ACEI rather than an ARB); • Obstructive valvular heart disease or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; or • Second or third degree atrioventricular block not successfully treated with a pacemaker;
5. Need for chronic (>2 weeks) immunosuppressive therapy, including corticosteroids (excluding inhaled or nasal steroids); 6. Known allergies or intolerance to any heparin-like compound including heparin-induced thrombocytopenia Type II; 7. Prior exposure to sulodexide, either in a clinical setting or as a participant in another clinical study. 8. Untreated urinary tract infection or other medical condition that may impact urinary protein values.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
This is a maximal event trial that has been designed to enroll approximately 2240 patients and to follow these patients until approximately 500 composite endpoints have occurred or the DSMC recommends the trial be closed due to either efficacy or futility. The primary hypothesis is to test whether sulodexide (200 mg) as compared to placebo will significantly increase the time to the first occurrence of the composite endpoint of a doubling of the serum creatinine from baseline or ESRD in patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes. |
