About this trial

This is a multicentre prospective, randomized, double-blind and imitation, positive-drug parallel controlled clinical trail. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Huaiqihuang Granule in patients with CKD stage 3 primary glomerulonephritis.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) compared to baseline

Events based on eGFR measure compared to baseline calculated using the CKD-EPI formula.

Time frame
48 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in serum creatinine levels from baseline

Serum creatinine is being assessed once every 8 weeks for a total of 6 times during the whole study

Time frame
Start of treatment until the end of the treatment for 48 weeks
2

Change in 24-hour urine protein ration from baseline.

Urinary protein is being assessed once every 8 weeks for a total of 6 times during the whole study

Time frame
Start of treatment until the end of the treatment for 48 weeks
3

Changes in urine erythrocyte levels from baseline

Urine erythrocyte is being assessed once every 8 weeks for a total of 6 times during the whole study

Time frame
Start of treatment until the end of the treatment for 48 weeks

Other outcomes

1

Composite endpoint incidence

The incidence of endpoint events:① eGFR decreased by 15% from baseline and was reviewed within 2 weeks, if no improvement was found or if the eGFR continued to decrease by 15% below baseline;② Serum creatinine doubles or enters maintenance of renal replacement therapy or death

Time frame
Start of treatment until the end of the treatment for 48 weeks
2

Incidence of adverse events

The proportion of patients with adverse events to the total population.

Time frame
Start of treatment until the end of the treatment for 48 weeks
3

Incidence of adverse reactions

The proportion of patients with adverse reactions to the total population

Time frame
Start of treatment until the end of the treatment for 48 weeks
