What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Renal Plasma Flow (RPF) After a Single Dose of Aliskiren or Irbesartan

    Renal plasma flow (RPF) was measured by the clearance of para-aminohippurate (PAH) by autoanalyzer methods.

    The measure of the single dose effect (SDE) for aliskiren and irbesartan was calculated as Day 2 peak - Day 2 baseline RPF. Baseline RPF was determined as the median of the -10 minute, -5 minute predose and predose (0 hour) values. Peak RPF was obtained using a moving average concept.

    Measured: Day 2: Baseline (10 minutes and 5 minutes pre-treatment and 0 hours) and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose.

  2. Change From Baseline to Steady State Trough in Renal Plasma Flow (RPF) After Aliskiren or Irbesartan

    Renal plasma flow (RPF) was measured by the clearance of para-aminohippurate (PAH) by autoanalyzer methods.

    This multiple dose effect at steady state (MDE_SS) was calculated as Day 15 baseline - Day 2 baseline. Baseline RPF was determined as the median of the -10 minute, -5 minute predose and predose (0 hour) values.

    Measured: Day 2 and Day 15 at Baseline (10 minutes and 5 minutes pre-treatment and 0 hours) .

  3. Change From Baseline to Steady State Peak in Renal Plasma Flow (RPF) After Aliskiren or Irbesartan

    Renal plasma flow (RPF) was measured by the clearance of para-aminohippurate (PAH) by autoanalyzer methods.

    This maximum multiple dose effect (MDE_Max) was calculated as Day 15 peak - Day 2 baseline. Baseline RPF was determined as the median of the -10 minute, -5 minute predose and predose (0 hour) values. Peak RPF was obtained using a moving average concept.

    Measured: Day 2: Baseline (10 minutes and 5 minutes pre-treatment and 0 hours) and Day 15: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose.

  4. Change From Single Dose Peak to Steady State Peak in Renal Plasma Flow (RPF) After Aliskiren or Irbesartan

    Renal plasma flow (RPF) was measured by the clearance of para-aminohippurate (PAH) by autoanalyzer methods.

    Accumulation of peak effect from single dose to multiple dose (MDE_Acc) was calculated as Day 15 peak - Day 2 peak. Peak RPF was obtained using a moving average concept.

    Measured: Day 2 and Day 15: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Aliskiren, Irbesartan and Captopril in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Novartis at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2012. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Renal Plasma Flow (RPF) After a Single Dose of Aliskiren or Irbesartan (time frame: Day 2: Baseline (10 minutes and 5 minutes pre-treatment and 0 hours) and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post-dose.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00660309, 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 29 Aug 2012.
