Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study treatment is allocated to eligible subjects randomly. Subjects have an equal chance of being allocated to receive Pyridorin 150 mg orally, twice a day (BID) taken for 52 weeks or Pyridorin 300 mg orally BID taken for 52 weeks or placebo taken orally for 52 weeks.
Intervention code [1] 3257 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
White opaque Coni-Snap hard gelatin capsules filled with white to off-white powder, taken orally BID, taken for 52 weeks.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4605 0
The primary efficacy variable is Serum Creatinine change from baseline to endpoint. The serum creatinine is measured via subject blood sample analysis.
Timepoint [1] 4605 0
Serum Creatinine is measured in the blood samples drawn from subjects each full visit during the study. Visits typically occur at screening, randomisation (considered day 0), month 1, 3, 6, 9, week 51 and week 52. If the subject enters a run-in period, additional visit may occur to the discretion of the investigator, in order to allow the subject to meet eligibility criteria.
Secondary outcome [1] 7768 0
Serum Creatinine slope. The serum creatinine is measured via subject blood sample analysis.
Timepoint [1] 7768 0
Serum Creatinine is measured in the blood samples drawn from subjects each full visit during the study. Visits typically occur at screening, randomisation (considered day 0), month 1, 3, 6, 9, week 51 and week 52. If the subject enters a run-in period, additional visits may occur to the discretion of the investigator, in order to allow the subject to meet eligibility criteria. Blood samples will also be measured at these visits if applicable.
Secondary outcome [2] 7769 0
24-hour urine protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) change. This is measured by analysing subject urine samples.
Timepoint [2] 7769 0
Measured at screening, month 6 and month 12. If the subject enters a run-in period, additional visits may occur to the discretion of the investigator, in order to allow the subject to meet eligibility criteria. PCR will also be measured at these visits if applicable.
Secondary outcome [3] 7770 0
The safety of Pyridorin compared to placebo, as assessed by adverse events, electrocardiograms (ECGs), seated blood pressure, heart rate, physical examination, body weight, clinical chemistries, glycosylated hemoglobin, and hematology.
Timepoint [3] 7770 0
Different safety parameters are measured at different visits in the study. Blood pressure, heart rate, body weight and Adverse Events are reviewed at each full visit. ECG and physical exams occur twice during the study, whereas certain blood parameters (such as serum chemistry and heamatology) occur three times (around the start, middle and end) during the study.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Patients who have given voluntary written consent to participate in this study prior to conducting Screening Visit procedures

Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who agree to use appropriate birth control (double barrier methods, hormonal contraceptives, or intrauterine device) for the duration of the study (WOCBP is defined as all women who are not surgically sterile or are not at least 1 year post-menopausal). All WOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit.

At the Screening Visit, ALL patients must have a history of overt diabetic nephropathy.

Patients must be receiving an Angiotensin Cenverting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE-I) or an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB), for at least 3 months prior to the Qualifying Visit, where the dose of the ACE-I or the ARB is considered appropriate for that patient and has been stable for at least 2 months.

Patients must be on stable blood pressure medications for 2 months prior to the Qualifying Visit.

Appropriate Serum Creatiine and 24-hour urine PCR results at qualifying visit compared to Screening.
Minimum age
25 Years

Patients with a diagnosis of Class III or IV congestive heart failure at any time;

Patients with a history of neoplastic disease (except basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) within 5 years prior to the Screening Visit;

Patients with any history of dialysis within 2 years prior to the Screening Visit;

Patients in whom dialysis or renal transplantation is anticipated by their physician within 1 year after the Screening Visit;

Patients who used SCr altering drugs within 1 month prior to the Screening Visit;

Patients who require systemic immunosuppression therapy for >2 weeks (except for inhalant steroids);

Patients with clinically significant liver disease or transaminase (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) levels >2.5 x upper limit of normal measured at the Screening Visit;

Patients with bilirubin levels >1.5 x upper limit of normal measured at the Screening Visit;

Patients with a history of allergic or other adverse response to vitamin B preparations;

Patients who require >50 mg of vitamin B6 daily;

Patients who have a history of dysphasia and swallowing disorders;

Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Pyridorin or any of the excipients in the Pyridorin formulation;

Patients who have taken pyridoxamine or any other investigational drug within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit, or have participated in a previous Pyridorin trial or another clinical trial within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit;

Patients with a current history of drug or alcohol abuse;

Patients unlikely to comply with the study protocol (e.g., an inability and unwillingness to participate in adequate training, an uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits, or unlikelihood of completing the study);

Women who are lactating, pregnant or intend to become pregnant during the course of the study

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria are enrolled via Interactive Vioce Response System (IVRS) to receive Either Pyridorin™ 300mg, Pyridorin™ 150mg or Placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio. Allocation to these treatments is concealed by the central randomisation phone/computer.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomisation is done by the IVRS and is stratified by the Serum Creatinine measurement at the qualifying visit.
