About this study

To observe the effect of intensive medical treatment for type 2 diabetic patients with hypertension: to discover whether or not intensive medical treatment improves proteinuria, and the difference between the clinical meaning of responder and non-responder (criteria: 50% reduced proteinuria continuing 6 months or more during the observation period.)

Read the detailed description

It is reported that the risk of a cardiovascular event occurring is 1.78 times higher in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) than in patients without DN. It is also reported that angiotensin II receptor blockade (ARB) prevents the progression of DN in diabetic patients with early phase nephropathy beyond its blood pressure lowering effect. The guidelines by the Japanese Society of Hypertension 2004 recommended that it was necessary to control blood pressure (BP) below 130/80 mmHg in all diabetic patients. This has become the universal target BP for the prevention of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients. On the study of intensive medical treatment [including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)], it is reported that ACEI not only prevents the progression of DN in microalbuminuria but also decreases proteinuria <1 g/day in the nephrotic syndrome. Therefore, ACEI is thought to be effective for DN. However, it is not clear whether or not intensive medical treatment (including ACEI) improves nephropathy with proteinuria >1 g/day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intensive therapy Valsartan,Fluvastatin in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension, run by Kitasato University at 1 site in Japan.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2007. 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 Japan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Keiji Tanaka, MD,PhD (+81-427-778-8111 ext. 8706, keiji@med.kitasato-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proteinuria. The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Oct 2007.
