Objectives: The primary objective of this Sub-Study is to assess the effect of 2 dose levels of SNF472 (300 mg and 600 mg) compared to placebo on the progression of arterial stiffness as measured by an absolute change in pulse wave velocity (PWV) over a 52-week period in ESRD patients on HD. The secondary objectives of this Sub-Study are to assess: • Change from Sub-Study Entry in left ventricular mass index (LVMI) • Change from Sub-Study Entry in left ventricular (LV) function parameters The exploratory objectives of this Sub-Study are to assess: • Change from Sub-Study Entry in left atrial (LA) function and change in parameters over time • Change from Sub-Study Entry in aortic valve gradient Methodology: Patients enrolled in the main study will be eligible to participate in this Sub-Study and will be requested to undergo additional assessment as outlined in the Sub-Study Schedule of Assessments. Endpoints: The primary endpoint is the absolute change in aortic PWV (m/s) from Sub-Study Entry to Week 52 by 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography. The secondary endpoints will be assessed by 2-D echocardiography and are: • Absolute change in LVMI from Sub-Study Entry to Week 52. • Absolute change in LV function from Sub-Study Entry to Week 52: o Absolute change in the ratio of mitral inflow early diastolic to mitral annular velocity (E/e’ ratio) o Absolute change in mitral annular early diastolic tissue velocity (e’) measured with tissue Doppler average of septal and lateral values) o Absolute change in LV global longitudinal systolic strain (%) measured by speckle tracking echocardiography The exploratory endpoints are: • Absolute change in additional measures of LA volume (mL) and LA ejection fraction from Sub-Study Entry to Week 52: • Absolute change in PWV, LVMI and other parameters of LV and LA function over time (Weeks 28 and 52). • Absolute change in aortic valve gradient from Sub-Study Entry to Week 28 and Week 52 in all subjects and in the subgroup of subjects with evidence of aortic stenosis at Sub-Study Entry Criteria for Inclusion: 12. Participant in the main study 13. Willing and able to understand and sign the additional Sub-Study informed consent Criteria for Exclusion: 14. Presence of current atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter with variable atrioventricular conduction, or very frequent premature beats (premature ventricular contractions [PVCs]) 15. A diagnosis of primary hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, or cardiac infiltrative disease (such as cardiac amyloidosis). 16. Severe cardiac valve disease Statistical Methods: The primary sub-study endpoint will be summarized using descriptive statistics and analyzed using ANCOVA model (The details of the analysis is been highlighted in the Sub study protocol synopsis)
The secondary and exploratory endpoints will be summarized using descriptive statistics by treatment arm and analyzed using methods similar to the primary Sub-Study endpoint. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the change in coronary artery calcium volume scores measured by CT scan. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Baseline (Week 1, Day 1) and Week 52 |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• change from baseline in CAC/Agatston score at Week 52 • number of patients with <15% progression in CAC/Agatston score at Week 52 • change from baseline in thoracic aorta calcification score at Week 52 • change from baseline in aortic valve calcification score at Week 52 • incidence of composite safety endpoint that include death from cardiovascular ,causes, MI, stroke, or heart failure • mortality rate (all-cause and CV) • change from baseline in levels of selected biomarkers including C-reactive protein (CRP)
The endpoints above will be analysed as efficacy as well as safety endpoints. The following secondary safety endpoints will be analysed: • changes in BMD levels between baseline and Week 52 • safety of SNF472 in terms of incidences of adverse event (AE) and SAE and clinically relevant changes from baseline in laboratory and ECG parameters
The exploratory endpoints are changes from baseline in pulse pressure, SBP, and DBP at Week 28 and Week 52 in all patients and in the subgroup of patients with hypertension at baseline.
