Dialysate calcium, alfacalcidol, and clinical outcomes: A post-hoc analysis of the J-DAVID trial.

ABSTRACT: The selection of dialysate calcium concentration (D-Ca) is still controversial among chronic hemodialysis (HD) regimens. We examined the trajectories of CKD MBD parameters among the J-DAVID trial participants to see the effect of D-Ca and alfacalcidol. The trial was an open-label randomized clinical trial including 976 HD patients with intact PTH of 180 pg/mL or lower which compared the users of vitamin D receptor activator (oral alfacalcidol) and non-users over a median of 4 years. The main D-Ca used at baseline were 3.0 mEq/L in 70% and 2.5 mEq/L in 25%, respectively. The primary endpoint was the composite of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events and the secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analyses in which D-Ca was included as a possible effect modifier and serum laboratory data as time-varying covariates showed no significant effect modification for composite cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality. This post hoc analysis showed that the effects of alfacalcidol on cardiovascular outcomes were not significantly modified by D-Ca.

Project description:ImportancePatients with chronic kidney disease have impaired vitamin D activation and elevated cardiovascular risk. Observational studies in patients treated with hemodialysis showed that the use of active vitamin D sterols was associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, regardless of parathyroid hormone levels.ObjectiveTo determine whether vitamin D receptor activators reduce cardiovascular events and mortality in patients without secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing hemodialysis.Design, setting, and participantsRandomized, open-label, blinded end point multicenter study of 1289 patients in 207 dialysis centers in Japan. The study included 976 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis with serum intact parathyroid hormone levels less than or equal to 180 pg/mL. The first and last participants were enrolled on August 18, 2008, and January 26, 2011, respectively. The final date of follow-up was April 4, 2015.InterventionsTreatment with 0.5 μg of oral alfacalcidol per day (intervention group; n = 495) vs treatment without vitamin D receptor activators (control group; n = 481).Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was a composite measure of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarctions, hospitalizations for congestive heart failure, stroke, aortic dissection/rupture, amputation of lower limb due to ischemia, and cardiac sudden death; coronary revascularization; and leg artery revascularization during 48 months of follow-up. The secondary outcome was all-cause death.ResultsAmong 976 patients who were randomized from 108 dialysis centers, 964 patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis (median age, 65 years; 386 women [40.0%]), and 944 (97.9%) completed the trial. During follow-up (median, 4.0 years), the primary composite outcome of cardiovascular events occurred in 103 of 488 patients (21.1%) in the intervention group and 85 of 476 patients (17.9%) in the control group (absolute difference, 3.25% [95% CI, -1.75% to 8.24%]; hazard ratio, 1.25 [95% CI, 0.94-1.67]; P = .13). There was no significant difference in the secondary outcome of all-cause mortality between the groups (18.2% vs 16.8%, respectively; hazard ratio, 1.12 [95% CI, 0.83-1.52]; P = .46). Of the 488 participants in the intervention group, 199 (40.8%) experienced serious adverse events that were classified as cardiovascular, 64 (13.1%) experienced adverse events classified as infection, and 22 (4.5%) experienced malignancy-related serious adverse events. Of 476 participants in the control group, 191 (40.1%) experienced cardiovascular-related serious adverse events, 63 (13.2%) experienced infection-related serious adverse events, and 21 (4.4%) experienced malignancy-related adverse events.Conclusions and relevanceAmong patients without secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, oral alfacalcidol compared with usual care did not reduce the risk of a composite measure of select cardiovascular events. These findings do not support the use of vitamin D receptor activators for patients such as these.Trial registrationUMIN-CTR Identifier: UMIN000001194.

Project description:ImportanceLiving alone, a key proxy of social isolation, is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In addition, Black race is associated with less optimal blood pressure (BP) control than in other racial or ethnic groups. However, it is not clear whether living arrangement status modifies the beneficial effects of intensive BP control on reduction in cardiovascular events among Black individuals.ObjectiveTo examine whether the association of intensive BP control with cardiovascular events differs by living arrangement among Black individuals and non-Black individuals (eg, individuals who identified as Alaskan Native, American Indian, Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, White, or other) in the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT).Design, setting, and participantsThis secondary analysis incorporated data from SPRINT, a multicenter study of individuals with increased risk for cardiovascular disease and free of diabetes, enrolled at 102 clinical sites in the United States between November 2010 and March 2013. Race and living arrangement (ie, living alone or living with others) were self-reported. Data were collected between November 2010 and March 2013 and analyzed from January 2021 to October 2021.ExposuresThe SPRINT participants were randomized to a systolic BP target of either less than 120 mm Hg (intensive treatment group) or less than 140 mm Hg (standard treatment group). Antihypertensive medications were adjusted to achieve the targets in each group.Main outcomes and measuresCox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the association of intensive treatment with the incident composite cardiovascular outcome (by August 20, 2015) according to living arrangement among Black individuals and other individuals. Transportability formula was applied to generalize the SPRINT findings to hypothetical external populations by varying the proportion of Black race and living arrangement status.ResultsAmong the 9342 total participants, the mean (SD) age was 67.9 (9.4) years; 2793 participants [30%] were Black, 2714 [29%] lived alone, and 3320 participants (35.5%) were female. Over a median (IQR) follow-up of 3.22 (2.74-3.76) years, the primary composite cardiovascular outcome was observed in 67 of 1001 Black individuals living alone (6.7%), 76 of 1792 Black individuals living with others (4.2%), 108 of 1713 non-Black individuals living alone (6.3%), and 311 of 4836 non-Black individuals living with others (6.4%). The intensive treatment group showed a significantly lower rate of the composite cardiovascular outcome than the standard treatment group among Black individuals living with others (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53 [95% CI, 0.33-0.85]) but not among those living alone (HR, 1.07 [95% CI, 0.66-1.73]; P for interaction = .04). The association was observed among individuals who were not Black regardless of living arrangement status. Using transportability, we found a smaller or null association between intensive control and cardiovascular outcomes among hypothetical populations of 60% Black individuals or more and 60% or more of individuals living alone.Conclusions and relevanceIntensive BP control was associated with a lower rate of cardiovascular events among Black individuals living with others and individuals who were not Black but not among Black individuals living alone.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01206062.
