Résumé

We determine the benefit of pulsed methylprednisolone for improving kidney function in patients with sarcoidosis tubulointerstitial nephritis. We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled trial in patients with biopsy-proven acute tubulointerstitial nephritis caused by sarcoidosis at 21 sites in France. Patients were randomly assigned to receive a methylprednisolone pulse 15 mg/kg/day for 3 days, then oral prednisone (MP group) or oral prednisone 1 mg/kg/day alone (PRD group). The primary end point was a positive response at 3 months, defined as a doubling of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) compared with the eGFR before randomization. We randomized 40 participants. Baseline eGFR before PRD was 22 mL/min/1.73m2 {interquartile range [IQR], 16-44} and before MP was 25 mL/min/1.73m2 (IQR, 22-36) (P = .3). The two groups did not differ in underlying pathological lesions, including mean percentage of interstitial fibrosis and intensity of interstitial infiltrate. In the intent-to-treat population, the median eGFR at 3 months did not significantly differ between the PRD and MP groups: 45 (IQR, 34-74) and 46 (IQR, 39-65) mL/min/1.73m2. The primary end point at 3 months was achieved in 16 of 20 (80%) PRD patients and 10 of 20 (50%) MP patients (P = .0467). The eGFR was similar between the two groups after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of treatment. For both groups, eGFR at 1 month was strongly correlated with eGFR at 12 months (P < .0001). The two groups did not differ in severe adverse events. Compared with a standard oral steroid regimen, intravenous MP may have no supplemental benefit for renal function in patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis caused by sarcoidosis.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01652417; EudraCT: 2012-000149-11.

BACKGROUND
We determine the benefit of pulsed methylprednisolone for improving kidney function in patients with sarcoidosis tubulointerstitial nephritis.
METHODS
We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled trial in patients with biopsy-proven acute tubulointerstitial nephritis caused by sarcoidosis at 21 sites in France. Patients were randomly assigned to receive a methylprednisolone pulse 15 mg/kg/day for 3 days, then oral prednisone (MP group) or oral prednisone 1 mg/kg/day alone (PRD group). The primary end point was a positive response at 3 months, defined as a doubling of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) compared with the eGFR before randomization.
RESULTS
We randomized 40 participants. Baseline eGFR before PRD was 22 mL/min/1.73m2 {interquartile range [IQR], 16-44} and before MP was 25 mL/min/1.73m2 (IQR, 22-36) (P = .3). The two groups did not differ in underlying pathological lesions, including mean percentage of interstitial fibrosis and intensity of interstitial infiltrate. In the intent-to-treat population, the median eGFR at 3 months did not significantly differ between the PRD and MP groups: 45 (IQR, 34-74) and 46 (IQR, 39-65) mL/min/1.73m2. The primary end point at 3 months was achieved in 16 of 20 (80%) PRD patients and 10 of 20 (50%) MP patients (P = .0467). The eGFR was similar between the two groups after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of treatment. For both groups, eGFR at 1 month was strongly correlated with eGFR at 12 months (P < .0001). The two groups did not differ in severe adverse events.
CONCLUSION
Compared with a standard oral steroid regimen, intravenous MP may have no supplemental benefit for renal function in patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis caused by sarcoidosis.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01652417; EudraCT: 2012-000149-11.
