Trial overview
The trial data include two interventional studies that mention Azilsartan Medoxomil as part of the treatment background or study context.[1][2] One study is in heart failure and is completed, while the other is in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and is authorised.[1][2]
Heart failure study
The heart failure trial is a proof-of-concept and dose-finding study of XXB750 in patients with heart failure.[1] It is a Phase 2 interventional study with 740 planned participants and a completed status.[1]
This study compares three target dose levels of XXB750 with placebo and looks at whether treatment lowers NT-proBNP, a blood marker linked to heart strain.[1] The main endpoint is the change in log NT-proBNP from baseline to Week 16.[1]
The study population includes symptomatic heart failure patients with LVEF below 50%.[1] LVEF means left ventricular ejection fraction, which is a measure of how much blood the heart pumps out with each beat.[1] Patients were treated with standard care, including ACEI/ARB or sacubitril/valsartan.[1]
Kidney disease study
The second trial is titled as a study of DMX-200 in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which is a kidney disease that affects the filtering units of the kidneys.[2] It is a Phase 3 interventional study with 308 planned participants and an authorised status.[2]
The brief summary says the study evaluates efficacy in adult patients with FSGS who are receiving an ARB.[2] ARB means angiotensin receptor blocker, a type of background treatment mentioned in the trial record.[2]
The primary outcomes include percent change in urine PCR after treatment compared with placebo, slope of eGFR after treatment compared with placebo, and for the open-label extension, the incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events and other important safety events.[2] Open-label means everyone in that part of the study knows which treatment is being given.[2]
Outcomes measured in the trials
In the heart failure study, the main outcome is a change in log NT-proBNP from baseline to Week 16.[1] This tells researchers whether the treatment changes a marker of heart stress over time.[1]
In the kidney study, the main outcomes are urine PCR and eGFR slope.[2] Urine PCR is a urine test used in kidney disease research, and eGFR slope shows how kidney function changes over time.[2]
The kidney study also tracks safety outcomes, including treatment-related adverse events, adverse events of special interest, and serious adverse events during long-term treatment.[2]
Who the trials include
The heart failure study includes symptomatic patients with heart failure and LVEF below 50%.[1] These patients were already receiving standard care, which helps researchers study the added effect of the trial treatment.[1]
The kidney study includes adult patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis who are receiving an ARB.[2] The record does not give more detailed eligibility rules in the provided data.[2]
What the trial phases mean
Phase 2 studies usually look for early signs that a treatment may work and help find a useful dose.[1] That is why the heart failure study is described as a proof-of-concept and dose-finding trial.[1]
Phase 3 studies are larger and are designed to test treatment effects and safety in more patients.[2] The kidney trial fits this pattern because it measures both benefit and safety outcomes in adults with FSGS.[2]
