Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if starting four kidney disease medicines quickly and together (a rapid treatment approach) is safe and works well in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it safe to start these medicines over a short period of time? * How often do kidney function changes or high potassium levels occur? * Does this approach lower protein in the urine (a sign of kidney damage)? * How many participants are able to stay on all four medicines over 6 months? Researchers will compare this approach to usual care, where medicines are started one at a time over several months. Participants will: Be assigned by chance to either this approach or usual care Start up to four approved kidney medicines over about 8 weeks (rapid treatment approach) or follow standard care Have regular clinic visits and lab tests to check kidney function and potassium levels Be followed for about 6 months

  5. Severe Hyperkalemia

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Incidence of potassium levels greater than 6.0 mmol/L

  6. Acute Kidney Injury

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) events (persistent estimated glomerular filtration rate decline ≥30% without return to \<30% with drug discontinuation; or hospitalization with diagnosis of AKI related to medications) during the study period

  7. End-stage kidney disease

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Incidence of progression to end-stage kidney disease (initiation of chronic dialysis \[hemo- or peritoneal dialysis\] for ≥90 days or kidney transplantation, or persistent \[≥2 values, including the last value if not on dialysis or transplant\] estimated glomerular filtration rate \<15 mL/min/1.73m\^2)

  8. Number of participants with permanent drug discontinuation

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Number of participants with permanent discontinuation of one or more study drugs not due to study completion or death.

  9. Rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (slope)

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate over the 6-month study period

  10. Change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels from baseline

  11. Number of participants who achieve >30% reduction in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Number of participants achieving \>30% reduction in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio

  12. Change in Kidney Disease Quality of Life-36 score

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in Kidney Disease Quality of Life-36 (KDQOL-36) score. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

  13. Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System score

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) score. PROMIS includes seven domains: Physical Function, Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Sleep Disturbance, Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities, and Pain Interference. Each domain includes 4 items scored from 1 to 5, with raw domain scores ranging from 4 to 20, and domain scores are converted to standardized T-scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. A separate Pain Intensity item is rated on a 0 to 10 scale, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst imaginable pain. For Physical Function and Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities, higher scores indicate better health. For Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Sleep Disturbance, Pain Interference, and Pain Intensity, higher scores indicate greater symptom burden or worse health status.

  14. Change in Treatment Burden Questionnaire (TBQ) score

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in Treatment Burden Questionnaire (TBQ) score. TBQ is composed of 13 items rated on a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not a problem) to 10 (big problem) and assesses the burden associated with taking medicine, self-monitoring, laboratory tests, doctor visits, need for organization, administrative tasks, following advice on diet and physical activity, and social impact of the treatment. TBQ item scores can be summed into a global score, ranging from 0 to 130. Higher scores indicating greater treatment burden.

  15. Change in Living with Medicines Questionnaire version 3 score

    Time frame · 6 months

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in Living with Medicines Questionnaire version 3 (LMQ-3) score. LMQ-3 consists of 41 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Total scores range from 41 to 205, with higher scores indicating greater treatment burden.
