About this study

Official title: The Effect of Aliskiren on Proteinuria in Chronic Nondiabetic Kidney Disease: a Double Blind Cross-over Randomized Controlled Trial

To evaluate the proteinuria lowering efficacy as well as tolerability and safety of the renin inhibitor aliskiren compared with that of placebo and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor perindopril in patients with non-diabetic chronic renal disease.

Read the detailed description

Proteinuria is a major risk factor for progression to end-stage renal disease in both diabetic and nondiabetic nephropathies. Angiotensin II and aldosterone are the key players in the development of renal failure, either directly by promoting tissue fibrosis or indirectly through their action on glomerular hemodynamic and proteinuria. Therefore, pharmacological inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may have a beneficial impact on proteinuria and chronic kidney diseases progression. Recently, renin inhibitors, a new class of drugs that selectively inhibits angiotensin II formation at the first step of the RAAS cascade has been introduced to clinical practice. Aliskiren is the first orally bioavailable direct renin inhibitor approved for the treatment of hypertension. Blood pressure (BP)-lowering effect of aliskiren is associated with a decreased generation of angiotensin I, as it blocks its generation from angiotensinogen, by inhibiting the active enzymatic site of renin. The investigators plan this study to evaluate the short-term effects of treatment with aliskiren to those of placebo and ACEI perindopril on proteinuria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Aliskiren, Perindopril in people with Chronic Kidney Disease and Proteinuria, run by Medical University of Gdansk at 1 site in Poland.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 24 Sep 2015. 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 Poland. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Investigate the antiproteinuric effect of adding aldosterone antagonist, spironolactone to the combination therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and AT-1 receptor blocker in maximal recommended doses. reduction of proteinuria (time frame: march 2014 - april 2014). 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 24 Sep 2015.
