Fluid Overload Sample Clauses

Fluid Overload. Similar to endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) in certain patient populations, including bosentan in advanced congestive heart failure and avosentan in advanced CKD, bardoxolone methyl treatment was found to be associated with an increased risk for fluid overload and heart failure hospitalizations in the BEACON trial, which enrolled patients with Stage 4 CKD (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2) and type 2 diabetes. The overall increased risk for fluid overload and heart failure events with bardoxolone methyl appeared to be limited to the first three to four weeks after initiation of treatment. Elevated BNP and prior hospitalization for heart failure were identified as risk factors that contributed to increased risk for these events. The increased risk for these events from bardoxolone methyl treatment had not been observed in six previous CKD studies, which were conducted mostly in patients with Stage 3b CKD (eGFR of 30 to 44 mL/min/1.73 m2), patients with hepatic dysfunction, cancer patients, or healthy volunteers. Review of admission notes and narrative descriptions for heart failure hospitalizations in BEACON indicates that heart failure in bardoxolone methyl-treated patients was often preceded by rapid fluid weight gain (several kilograms within the first weeks of treatment initiation) and was not associated with acute renal decompensation or acutely reduced left ventricular contractility. Available data from BEACON and other studies suggest that bardoxolone methyl treatment can differentially affect hemodynamic status according to the clinical condition of patients and likely promotes fluid retention in patients with more advanced renal dysfunction and other recognized risk factors associated with heart failure at baseline. In a Phase 2 dose-ranging study of the efficacy and safety of bardoxolone methyl in patients with pulmonary hypertension (LARIAT), risk mitigation procedures were employed to reduce the potential for bardoxolone methyl-induced fluid overload; these procedures excluded patients with the identified risk factors and ensured close monitoring for fluid retention within the first month of treatment. To date, the risk for acute fluid overload AEs with bardoxolone methyl in late-stage CKD patients has not been observed in PH patients.
