Kidney Effects in the MOXIe Trial: Presentation at ERA-EDTA 2020
In Part 2 of the Phase 2 MOXIe study of omaveloxolone in patients with Friedreich’s ataxia, a rapid, continuous decline in kidney function as measured by eGFR was observed in the placebo group. Omaveloxolone treatment for 48 weeks was associated with an increase in eGFR. These increases were durable and sustained throughout one year of treatment, similar to results observed with its analog, bardoxolone methyl, in clinical trials for various forms of CKD.
- The rate of eGFR decline in patients with FA was equal to or greater than many forms of CKD.
- Rapidly progressive loss of kidney function in patients without traditional risk factors for CKD highlight the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in progression of CKD.
- Placebo-corrected increases in patients treated with omaveloxolone were durable through one year of treatment.

KIDNEYCODE: A Genetic Testing Program for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Presentation at ERA-EDTA 2020
Reata and Invitae are sponsoring KIDNEYCODE, a no-charge genetic testing program, to help nephrologists identify patients with genetic forms of CKD.
- Seventy-eight percent of patients with eGFR below normal, a family history of CKD, and hematuria have been found to have Alport syndrome in the KidneyCode program including variants of uncertain significance in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes.
- Of the tests that have results that we can access, approximately half have been positive for Alport syndrome, and half of these patients were previously misdiagnosed with other forms of CKD including variants of uncertain significance in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes.

Publication: TSUBAKI, a Study of Bardoxolone Methyl in Patients with Diabetic CKD
The Phase 2 study of bardoxolone methyl in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes (TSUBAKI) met its primary efficacy endpoint and, using the inulin clearance method, demonstrated that bardoxolone methyl treatment significantly increased measured GFR.
- Bardoxolone methyl treatment was associated with an increase in measured GFR, as determined by inulin clearance.
- Treatment with bardoxolone methyl was associated with improvements in eGFR and creatinine clearance.
- There was no change in 24-hour excretion of creatinine suggesting that bardoxolone methyl does not affect muscle metabolism of creatinine.
- Data confirm that serum creatinine based eGFR is an appropriate measure to assess kidney function in response to bardoxolone methyl treatment.

Publication: Bardoxolone Methyl Analog Attenuates Proteinuria-Induced Tubular Damage by Modulating Mitochondrial Function
Dihydro-CDDO-trifluoroethyl amide (dh404), a rodent-tolerable bardoxolone methyl analog, significantly reduced proteinuria-induced tubular cell mitochondrial damage in a model of diabetic kidney disease.
- Treatment with bardoxolone methyl analog improved mitochondrial function, suppressed inflammatory signaling, and reduced oxidative stress.
- Treatment with bardoxolone methyl analog was protective of the renal tubular interstitium, decreased fibrosis, and preserved kidney function despite not improving proteinuria.

Publication: Effect of Bardoxolone Methyl on the Urine Albumin-To-Creatinine Ratio in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stage 4 chronic kidney disease treated with bardoxolone methyl, changes in albuminuria were directly related to changes in eGFR.
- Relative to placebo, bardoxolone methyl treatment resulted in a significant decrease in albuminuria when indexed to eGFR.
- Mean increases in eGFR from baseline at both week 48 and 4 weeks off treatment were not different in the highest and lowest quartiles of patients stratified by week 12 UACR changes.

Analyses from a Phase 2 Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Bardoxolone Methyl in Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD): The PHOENIX Study: Presentation at ASN KidneyWeek 2018
PHOENIX was a Phase 2, open-label, multi-center, US-only trial with four separate cohorts of patients with ADPKD, IgAN, T1D CKD, or FSGS. Bardoxolone methyl treatment in patients with ADPKD resulted in significant increase in kidney function as measured by eGFR at Week 12 from baseline.
- ADPKD affects approximately 400,000 people and is leading inheritable cause of kidney failure in the US.
- Bardoxolone methyl significantly improved eGFR (+9.3 mL/min/1.73 m²) from baseline in patients with ADPKD that historically declined ~4.8 mL/min/1.73 m² annually.
- Bardoxolone methyl was well-tolerated without any drug-related SAEs, changes in blood pressure, or evidence of fluid overload.

Publication: Effects of Bardoxolone Methyl on Body Weight, Waist Circumference and Glycemic Control in Obese Patients with T2DM and Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease
Bardoxolone methyl treatment resulted in significant weight loss in a generally obese patient population with T2DM and stage 4 CKD, with the magnitude and rate dependent on baseline BMI.
- Bardoxolone methyl treatment resulted in significant reductions in body weight in a generally overweight patient population with T2DM and stage 4 CKD.
- The magnitude and rate of weight reductions were more pronounced in patients with higher baseline BMI. The loss in body weight was accompanied by a significant reduction in waist circumference, with declines proportional to both baseline body weight and BMI.
- In a subset of patients who provided timed urine collections, there was no reduction in 24-hour urinary creatinine excretion, suggesting that bardoxolone methyl does not adversely affect creatinine production and serum creatinine-based eGFR is therefore an appropriate measure of kidney function in response to bardoxolone methyl treatment.

Data Presentation: Reata Announces Improvements in Kidney Function with Bardoxolone Methyl Maintained for Two Years in PAH Patients from LARIAT Trial
Reata announced results from the long-term follow up portion of the LARIAT study demonstrating that pulmonary arterial hypertension patients treated with bardoxolone methyl experienced kidney function improvements that were durable for two years and not associated with adverse outcomes.
- Patients in the placebo-controlled, double blind phase of LARIAT had impaired kidney function upon study entry with an eGFR averaging 75.6 mL/min/1.73 m². Patients who received treatment with bardoxolone methyl (n=71) had significantly increased eGFR compared to placebo (n=30) by 10.6 mL/min/1.73 m² (p<0.0001) after 16 weeks of treatment.
- After 56 weeks of treatment, patients experienced a significant, mean increase in eGFR of 10.7 mL/min/1.73 m² from baseline (p<0.0001), and after 104 weeks of treatment, patients experienced a significant, mean increase in eGFR of 11.3 mL/min/1.73 m² from baseline (p<0.0001).
- 88% of patients on bardoxolone methyl who reached week 104 maintained increases in eGFR above baseline after two years of treatment.
