Background

MAGMA is a multicenter double-blind, randomized controlled trial that aims to assess the effect of spironolactone on atherosclerosis progression and left ventricular (LV) mass regression in type 2 diabetic patients with CKD.

Methods

46 adult diabetic patients with eGFR<90 ml/min/1.73m2 and albuminuria>30 mg/g or eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73m2 regardless of albuminuria, on ACEi/ARB were enrolled at 4 sites and randomly assigned to spironolactone (12.5mg with eventual escalation to 25mg daily) vs. placebo. 24hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and cardiac MRI and aortic plaque imaging were performed at baseline and will be repeated at 1 year. We examined baseline characteristics and achieved systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 6 weeks follow-up.

Results

The mean age(SD) was 63(8.3) years; 46% were women, and 52% were African-American. Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between the groups(Table). Native myocardial T1 times, a marker of myocardial fibrosis, were high normal across groups. At 6 weeks, treatment A group had an increase in average 24hr overall and nocturnal SBP by 3.9(20.8) mmHg and 5.7(25.2) mmHg respectively. Treatment B group had an average decrease in 24hr overall and nocturnal SBP of – 6.0(11.7) mmHg, and – 8.3(9.8) mmHg respectively.

Conclusion

MAGMA trial enrolled individuals with high atherosclerotic disease burden. Long-term follow-up will provide critical insights into the role of mineralocorticoid antagonism on LV mass and atherosclerosis reduction in high-risk patients.
