About this study

Official title: A Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Extension to Study TRCA-301 to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Durability of Effect of TRC101 in Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease and Metabolic Acidosis

This study is a 40-week, blinded, placebo-controlled extension of Study TRCA-301 (NCT03317444). Eligible subjects who complete the 12-week treatment period in Study TRCA-301 have the option to participate in this extension study evaluating the long-term safety and durability of effect of TRC101 in subjects with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis. Eligible subjects will be treated with TRC101 or placebo once daily (QD) on an out-patient basis for the subsequent 40 weeks. Subjects will continue to receive the same blinded treatment (TRC101 or placebo) that they received in Study TRCA-301.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Adverse Events Leading to Withdrawal.

    The incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and AEs leading to withdrawal. For incidence of AEs and SAEs, see Adverse Events Section. For incidence of AEs leading to withdrawal, see endpoint values below.

    Measured: Week 12 Visit in the parent study, TRCA-301, to the Week 54 Visit in the extension study, TRCA-301E.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Subjects With Change From Baseline in Serum Bicarbonate of ≥ 4 mEq/L or Serum Bicarbonate Within the Normal Range

    Percent of subjects having a change from baseline in serum bicarbonate of at least 4 mEq/L or bicarbonate in the normal range (22 - 29 mEq/L) at the end of treatment (Week 52).

    Measured: Baseline in the parent study, TRCA-301, to the Week 52 Visit in the extension study, TRCA-301E.

  2. Change From Baseline in Serum Bicarbonate at the End of Treatment

    Change from baseline in serum bicarbonate at the end of treatment (Week 52).

    Measured: Baseline in the parent study, TRCA-301, to the Week 52 Visit in the extension study, TRCA-301E.

  3. Change From Baseline in the Total Score of the KDQOL-PFD at the End of Treatment

    Change from baseline in the total score of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Physical Function Domain (KDQOL-PFD) at the end of treatment. The KDQOL is a validated, kidney disease-specific measure of health-related quality of life. For study TRCA-301E, and the parent study TRCA-301, the 10-question Item 3 of the KDQOL, also known as the SF-36 Physical Function subscale, was selected to measure physical functioning and is referenced herein as the KDQOL-PFD. The KDQOL-PFD was chosen as a patient-reported outcome measurement to evaluate the effects of TRC101 on daily activities that may be adversely affected by loss of muscle caused by metabolic acidosis. The minimum score for each of the 10 questions is 0 (physical activity highly limited) and the maximum is 100 (physical activity not limited). The total KDQOL-PFD score is calculated by adding the scores for all 10 questions, for a minimum and maximum possible total KDQOL-PFD score of 0 or 100, respectively.

    Measured: Baseline in the parent study, TRCA-301, to the Week 52 Visit in the extension study, TRCA-301E.

  4. Change From Baseline in the Duration of Repeated Chair Stand Test at the End of Treatment

    Change from baseline in the duration of repeated chair stand test at the end of treatment (Week 52). The five-times repeated chair stand test was used as a measure of lower extremity muscle strength. In this test, the time it took for a subject to repeatedly stand from a chair five times was recorded. This test is among the group of measures (gait speed, chair stand, and balance tests) comprising the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), which has been used as a predictive tool for possible disability and for monitoring physical functioning in older people.

    Measured: Baseline in the parent study, TRCA-301, to the Week 52 Visit in the extension study, TRCA-301E.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TRC101 in people with Metabolic Acidosis, run by Tricida, Inc. at 29 sites in 7 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Georgia, Ukraine, Hungary, Slovenia and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Oct 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Adverse Events Leading to Withdrawal. (time frame: Week 12 Visit in the parent study, TRCA-301, to the Week 54 Visit in the extension study, TRCA-301E.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03390842, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2021.
