About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Anemia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: adult patients >=18 years of age; type 1 or type 2 diabetes; stable glycemic control for >=3 months; diabetic nephropathy. Exclusion Criteria: women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to use a reliable contraceptive method; previous treatment with erythropoietin or other erythropoietic substance; nondiabetic renal disease, nephrotic syndrome; blood transfusion within the 3 months prior to enrollment; administration of any investigational drug within 30 days preceding the study start, and during the study.

Group 1 (Early Epoetin Beta)

Group 2 (No/Late Epoetin Beta)

Arm Description

Along with their standard treatment participants will receive epoetin beta at a starting dose of 2000 International Units (IU) subcutaneously (SC) once weekly to reach and maintain target hemoglobin (Hb) between 13 and 15 grams per deciliter (g/dL), for 15 months. Epoetin beta doses will be adjusted according to individual participant's Hb level. Standard treatment will be as per investigator discretion.

Participants will receive their standard treatment for 15 months but no treatment for anemia correction unless Hb level will be less than (<) 10.5 g/dL on 2 consecutive visits of 2 weeks interval or the Hb level will be <10 g/dL on a single determination. In such cases participants could receive epoetin beta at a starting dose of 2000 IU SC once weekly to reach and maintain a target Hb level of 10.5 to 11.5 g/dL. Standard treatment will be as per investigator discretion.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Left Ventricle Mass Index (LVMI) at Month 15
LVMI (in g/m^2) = (0.8 [1.04 {(LVEDD + IVS + PWT)^3 - (LVEDD)^3}] + 0.6) divided by BSA. Here, LVEDD = left ventricular end diastolic diameter (in centimeters [cm]); PWT = left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole (in cm); IVS = interventricular septal wall thickness in diastole (in cm). Echocardiogram was performed at baseline and Month 15 to interpret LVMI which was expressed in grams per meter square (g/m^2).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume Index (LVESVI)
LVESVI was calculated by dividing left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) (in milliliters [mL]) with body surface area (BSA) (in meter square [m^2]). LVESVI is presented in milliliter per meter square (mL/m^2).
Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume Index (LVEDVI)
LVEDVI was calculated by dividing left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) (in mL) BSA (in m^2). LVEDVI was presented in mL/m^2.
Fractional Myocardial Shortening (FS)
FS was calculated as: ([LVEDD - LVESD] divided by LVEDV) multiplied by 100; where LVEDD = left ventricular end diastolic diameter (in centimeters [cm]), LVESD = left ventricular end systolic diameter (in cm), LVEDV = left ventricular end diastolic volume (in mL). FS is expressed in percentage of LVEDV.
Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)
LVEF was calculated as ([LVEDV - LVESV], divided by LVEDV) multiplied by 100; where LVEDV = left ventricular end diastolic volume (in mL), LVESV = left ventricular end systolic volume (in mL). LVEF is expressed in percentage of LVEDV.
Percentage of Participants With Stable Hb Levels Between 13 to 15 g/dL
