Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change in eGFR from baseline
At month 24

To determine whether zibotentan and dapagliflozin in fixed dose combination is superior to dapagliflozin alone to slow decline in kidney function

Change in log-transformed Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR) from baseline
At Week 12

To estimate the efficacy of zibotentan and dapagliflozin in FDC versus dapagliflozin alone in reducing albuminuria

Area under concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf)
At predefined intervals from Day 1 to Day 4 for both treatment periods

To investigate the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal, in comparison to fasting conditions, on the PK of zibotentan/dapagliflozin FDC after a single oral dose in healthy participants.

Area under concentration-curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)
At predefined intervals from Day 1 to Day 4 for both treatment periods

To investigate the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal, in comparison to fasting conditions, on the PK of zibotentan/dapagliflozin FDC after a single oral dose in healthy participants.

Maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax)
At predefined intervals from Day 1 to Day 4 for both treatment periods

To investigate the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal, in comparison to fasting conditions, on the PK of zibotentan/dapagliflozin FDC after a single oral dose in healthy participants.

Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin dose A or Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin dose BEXPERIMENTALDrug dose (dose A or B) are determined based on eGFR values. Participants will receive daily oral dose of zibotentan/dapagliflozin in fixed dose combination.
Dapagliflozin aloneACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants will receive daily oral dose of dapagliflozin.
Treatment ABEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive single dose of Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin FDC after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours (Treatment A). After a washout period, participants will receive another single dose of Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin FDC 30 minutes after having a high-fat, high-calorie standardized meal (Treatment B).
Treatment BAEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive single dose of Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin FDC 30 minutes after having a high-fat high-calorie standardized meal (Treatment B). After a washout period, participants will receive another single dose of Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin FDC after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours (Treatment A).

Frequently asked questions about Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin

What is Zibotentan used for?

Zibotentan is an investigational small molecule being studied for chronic kidney disease, including chronic kidney disease with high proteinuria, as well as hepatic impairment and liver cirrhosis. It is also being evaluated in healthy participants for pharmacokinetic studies. Zibotentan is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What does Zibotentan target?

Zibotentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist. It is being studied in combination with dapagliflozin for the treatment of chronic kidney disease. The combination is being evaluated in the ZENITH-CKD trial.

Who makes Zibotentan?

Zibotentan is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is conducting clinical trials to evaluate Zibotentan for chronic kidney disease and related conditions.

What phase is Zibotentan in?

Zibotentan is in Phase 2 clinical development. The most advanced trial, the ZENITH-CKD study, is a Phase 2 trial that has been completed. Zibotentan is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Zibotentan in?

Zibotentan has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT04724837, a Phase 2 trial in chronic kidney disease with 542 participants, and NCT04991571, a Phase 1 trial in healthy participants. Additional Phase 1 trials include NCT05112419 in hepatic and renal impairment and NCT05505162 in healthy female participants.

Is Zibotentan the same as Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin?

Zibotentan is also known as Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin when referring to the combination therapy being studied. In clinical trials, Zibotentan is often evaluated in combination with dapagliflozin for the treatment of chronic kidney disease.
