Implications of the AASK Study For Validity of Proteinuria as a Surrogate Endpoint
AASK DESIGN (N = 1094 Patients) Follow-up: Trial Phase: Approximately 3.5 – 6.5 years Cohort Phase: An additional 5 - 6 years
AASK Entry Criteria • African-American (self report) • 18-70 yr old with DBP > 95 mmHg • GFR 20 - 65 ml/min/1.73 m2 • Non-diabetic • Baseline urine protein/creatinine < 2.5
AASK Trial Outcomes: • Primary Renal Outcome • Rate of decline (slope) in iothalomate GFR in ml/min/1.73m2/year • Secondary (Clinical) Composite Outcome • 50% or > 25 ml/min reduction from baseline GFR • ESRD • Death • Other Secondary Outcomes • ESRD or Death • ESRD alone • Long-term Follow-up of Trial + Cohort • Doubling of SCR or ESRD • Doubling of SCR, ESRD, or Death

Baseline UP/Cr Predicts Subsequent Progression Independently of Initial GFR (mean GFR slope, ml/min/1.73m2/yr(SE))
AASK and Trial-Based Approach • Provides three independent treatment comparisons to test if treatment effects on Δ UP predict treatment effects on clinical endpoints • Time-to-event endpoints more relevant than primary slope endpoint from perspective of validating UP/Cr as a surrogate endpoint.

AASK and Trial-Based Approach • Much greater treatment effects on absolute ΔUP at higher baseline UP levels also allows AASK to be used to determine if larger treatment effects on ΔUP correspond to larger effects on clinical endpoints.
