Study summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of topiroxostat on urinary albumin excretion and the safety in patients with early stage diabetic nephropathy and hyperuricemia with or without gout. Participants are randomized to placebo (n=20) or topiroxostat (n=40) for 28 weeks. The investigational drugs for this study are supplied by FUJI YAKUHIN CO., LTD.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diabetes patients
  • Clinically or diagnosed diabetic nephropathy
  • Hyperuricemic or gout patients
  • Estimated (eGFR) >= 30 mL/min/1.73m\^2 and urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) greater than or equal to 45 and less than 300 mg/g

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has known non-diabetic nephropathy (other than nephrosclerosis)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
