Abstract

AIMS: Obesity is associated with progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Treatment with bardoxolone methyl in a multinational phase 3 trial, Bardoxolone Methyl Evaluation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (BEACON), resulted in increases in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with concurrent reductions in body weight. We performed post-hoc analyses to further characterize reductions in body weight with bardoxolone methyl.METHODS: Eligible patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and CKD stage 4 (eGFR 15 to <30?mL/min/1.73?m2) were randomized 1:1 to receive once-daily oral dose of bardoxolone methyl (20?mg) or placebo.RESULTS: BEACON enrolled 2185 patients. Patients randomized to bardoxolone methyl experienced significant reductions in body weight from baseline relative to patients randomized to placebo (-5.7?kg; 95% CI: -6.0 to -5.3?kg; p?
