Abstract

The present invention relates to treatment of chronic kidney disease by administering to patients in need thereof a compound of formula (1): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein Cy, R 1 and R 2 are as defined herein. The invention further relates to the use of the compounds of formula (1) in combination with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Claims (18)

1. A method for treating a patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the method comprising administering compound 29A to the patient

wherein compound 29A is administered once daily in an amount of 3 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg, and

wherein the treatment provides an improvement in albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) measured in First Morning Void (FMV) urine.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the patient has diabetic chronic kidney disease.

3. The method according to any of claim 1 , wherein the patient has non-diabetic chronic kidney disease.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the patient has Stage 1 CKD, or Stage 2 CKD, or Stage 3 CKD, or Stage 4 CKD, or Stage 5 CKD.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutically effective amount of a SGLT2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the SGLT2 inhibitor is empagliflozin.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 and <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 .

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein compound 29A is administered to the patient in an amount of 10 mg.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the empagliflozin is administered to the patient once daily in an amount of 10 mg.

10. A method for improving the albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient, the method comprising administering to the patient compound 29A

wherein compound 29A is administered once daily in an amount of 10 mg.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising administering empagliflozin once daily to the patient.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the empagliflozin is administered once daily to the patient in an amount of 10 mg.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the patient has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 and <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 .

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the patient has diabetic chronic kidney disease.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the patient has non-diabetic chronic kidney disease.
