About this study

Official title: Comparative, Open Multicenter Trial Assessing the Effect on Albumin Excretion Rate of 320mg Valsartan (With or Without HCTZ) vs 40mg Lisinopril (With or Without HCTZ) on Hypertensive Patients With Diabetic and Non-diabetic Nephropathy and Albuminuria

Title: Antialbuminuric effect of valsartan, lisinopril and valsartan versus lisinopril in non-diabetic and diabetic renal disease: a randomized (3:3:1), open label, parallel group, 20 weeks follow-up.

Objective: To evaluate the antialbuminuric effect of high doses of valsartan vs lisinopril vs combo treatment in non-diabetic and diabetic patients.

Hypothesis: Combo treatment reduces microalbuminuria and the albumin/creatinine ratio more than monotherapies..

Design: Multicentric, randomized, open label, parallel group, active controlled.

Dose / regimen: Valsartan 320 vs Lisinopril 40 vs Valsartan/lisinopril 160/20

Primary Endpoint: Antialbuminuric effect of valsartan 320 mg, lisinopril and valsartan versus lisinopril 40 mg in non-diabetic and diabetic renal disease following 5 months of follow-up. Description % of change in albuminuria from baseline at 20 weeks.

Secondary Endpoint : To investigate the effect of 5 months treatment with valsartan,lisinopril and valsartan versus lisinopril in GFR (Cl creatinine), also to investigate the effect of 5 months treatment with valsartan, lisinopril and valsartan plus lisinopril on blood pressure and the effect on left ventricular mass index using electrocardiogram and Cornell-Sokolow method.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • VALSARTAN, VALSARTAN PLUS HCTZ, LISINOPRIL, LISINOPRIL PLUS HCTZDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in urine albumin excretion rate from collected urine samples, after 16 and 20 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg after 16 and 20 weeks of treatment

  2. Change from baseline 48-hour ambulatory blood pressure, and blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg after 16 and 20 weeks of treatment

  3. Blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg at night, measured by 48-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, after 16 and 20 weeks of treatment

  4. Change from baseline in size of left heart ventricle by electrocardiogram (ECG) after 20 weeks

  5. Change from baseline in kidney function after 16 and 20 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing VALSARTAN, VALSARTAN PLUS HCTZ, LISINOPRIL, LISINOPRIL PLUS HCTZ in people with Hypertension and Early Diabetic Nephropathy, run by Novartis at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in urine albumin excretion rate from collected urine samples, after 16 and 20 weeks. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00171600, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2011.
