Abstract/Text
BACKGROUND: The carbonaceous oral adsorbent AST-120 slows the deterioration of kidney function in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, information about AST-120 in patients with less severe stages of CKD is lacking.
STUDY DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial.
SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: 75 medical facilities, 460 patients with CKD with serum creatinine (sCr) concentrations less than 5.0 mg/dL (not undergoing dialysis).
INTERVENTION: Random assignment to either a low-protein diet and antihypertensive medication in the control group or that treatment combined with AST-120 (6 g/d).
OUTCOMES & MEASUREMENTS: Composite primary end point: doubling of sCr level, increase in sCr level to 6.0 mg/dL or more, need for dialysis or transplantation, or death.
SECONDARY OUTCOMES: adverse events and changes in estimated creatinine clearance (CCr) rate, proteinuria (protein in milligrams per day), and quality of life.
RESULTS: Mean sCr level was 2.66 mg/dL and estimated CCr was 22.4 mL/min in both groups. During 56 weeks, numbers of primary end-point events (43 for control versus 42 for AST-120) and event-free survival (P = 0.9) did not differ between groups. Gastrointestinal adverse events were less common in the control group than the AST-120 group (2 versus 32 events). Estimated CCr decreased more in the control group than in the AST-120 group (-15% per year versus -12% per year, relative to the baseline value; [corrected] P = 0.001). Median proteinuria changed from protein of 1,162 to 1,167 mg/d in the control group versus 1,102 to 906 mg/d in the AST-120 group (P = 0.2).
LIMITATION: Infrequent primary end-point events.
CONCLUSION: AST-120 did not substantially slow the progression of kidney disease in patients with moderate to severe CKD during 1 year.
