ACC/SCAI 2008 : Disclosures Funding for ASTRAL • Medtronic • MRC • KR-UK No members of the ASTRAL TMC or collaborators have any pecuniary or advisory affiliation with Medtronic
UK MULTI-CENTRE TRIAL IN ATHEROSCLEROTIC RENOVASCULAR DISEASE • ASTRAL • Angioplasty and STent for Renal Artery Lesions Philip A Kalra Lead Nephrologist for ASTRAL, Hope Hospital, Salford, UK, On behalf of the ASTRAL TMC and collaborators
Rationale for RCTs in ARVD • Very common condition : annual rate of ARVD diagnosis ↑3x between 1992-2004 • High level of associated co-morbidity and mortality • Revascularization procedures frequently performed (eg 16% of newly diagnosed Medicare patients : Kidney Int 2005; 68 : 293-301) • Revascularization not without some risk • 4 previous RCTs investigating revascularization – all small (largest 106 patients) and inconclusive • Uncertainty regarding renal functional, CVS events and mortality outcomes
Main questions asked within ASTRAL What is the effect of renal revascularization upon Renal functional outcome(rate of change of renal function over follow-up – reciprocal creatinine plot; 750 patients for 80% power to show 20% difference) Secondary end-points • Survival • Other (CVS) macrovascular events • Blood pressure control • Cardiac function and structure (sub-study)
ASTRAL Trial Schema No revascularizationMedical Treatment only Revascularization with angioplasty and/or stent (and medical treatment) Diagnosis of significant ARVD (Unilateral or Bilateral)Revascularization not contraindicated Uncertain whether to revascularizeRandomisation
RECRUITMENT • ASTRAL opened to recruitment in September 2000 • September 2000 - October 2007, 806 patients randomised into the trial from 58 centres (4 in Australasia) • 403 revascularization (+ medical therapy) • 403 medical management • Current mean follow-up 27 months
Trial Comparison Over 7x bigger than the next largest trial (van Jaarsveld (n=106)
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS – GFR Mean = 40 ml/min (Range: 5.4 – 124.5)
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS – Percent Stenosis Mean = 76% (Range: 20% – 100%)
COMPLIANCE WITH RANDOMISED TREATMENT *Revascularization forms not yet returned for 34 patients who were randomised to revascularization
SAFETY – IMMEDIATE POST-OP COMPLICATIONS (in 24 (7%) patients)
SAFETY – POST-OP COMPLICATIONS >24 HRS AFTER REVASCULARIZATION
MEAN CHANGE IN SCr BETWEEN BASELINE AND 1 YEAR Negative change = Improvement in SCr (i.e. reduction in SCr)
TIME TO FIRST RENAL EVENT(ARF, Dialysis, Transplant, Nephrectomy, Renal Death) HR=0.98, 95% CI=0.66 to 1.48
VASCULAR EVENTS - OVERALL * Not including coronary or other arterial procedures
TIME TO FIRST OF MI, STROKE, VASCULAR DEATH OR HOSPITALISATION FOR ANGINA, FLUID OVERLOAD OR CARDIAC FAILURE HR=0.90, 95% CI=0.66 to 1.15
MORTALITY HR=0.92, 95% CI=0.68 to 1.26
MORTALITY * 14 patients’ have multiple causes of death
MEAN CHANGE IN SCr AT 1 YEAR STRATIFIED BY RAPID INCREASE IN SCr
ASTRAL Summary (1) • Currently no evidence of a benefit for revascularization on renal function in the ARVD patients entered into ASTRAL – those in whom clinicians ‘uncertain’ of whether to revascularize • Also no evidence of differences between the arms for any of the secondary endpoints (i.e. blood pressure, major events, mortality) • No evidence of differences in treatment effect across the various subgroups – for renal functional end-point only
ASTRAL Summary (2) • Minor differences in some parameters at 4 years (Creatinine, SBP, CVS events) but longer follow-up is needed to assess significance • Some individuals do benefit – how can we identify these? • Cardiac sub-studies (results due November 2008)
