About this study

Official title: The Change of Urinary Angiotensinogen Excretion After Valsartan Treatment in Chronic Kidney Diseases Patients With Persistent Proteinuria

This study is a multicenter, prospective, interventional study. It does not have a control group. All participants will receive 160 mg valsartan for 8 weeks. Among them, the patients with persistent proteinuria (defined as proteinuria more than 1 g/g after 8 weeks treatment of valsartan) will receive 320 mg valsartan for further 16 weeks. Participants who did not receive any ACEI or ARB previously will have a titration period for 4 weeks (80 mg for 4 weeks, 160 mg for 4 weeks, and then 320 mg for 16 weeks).

The investigators will evaluate the change of urinary angiotensinogen excretion between at baseline, at 8 weeks, and 24 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing valsartan in people with Chronic Kidney Disease and Proteinuria, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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 9 Mar 2009. 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 South Korea. 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 Yoon-Goo Kim, Professor (82-2-3410-3442, ygkim26@skku.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The percent change of urinary angiotensinogen excretion between at baseline and at 24 weeks after valsartan treatment. (time frame: 4 weeks of screening periods + 24 weeks of treatment). 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 9 Mar 2009.
