Trial summary

Numerous clinical and experimental data show that the elective treatment of diabetic nephropathy should be based on drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Albuminuria is a marker of risk not only renal but also cardiovascular and diabetic patients with concomitant non-diabetic nephropathy, on the other… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized, Controlled, PROBE Trial, Evaluating the Antiproteinuric Effect of Imidapril Versus Ramipril in Type 2 Diabetic Patients and Mild to Moderate Hypertension With Microalbuminuria

Numerous clinical and experimental data show that the elective treatment of diabetic nephropathy should be based on drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Albuminuria is a marker of risk not only renal but also cardiovascular and diabetic patients with concomitant non-diabetic nephropathy, on the other hand, drugs blocking the renin-angiotensin system available so far, namely ACE inhibitors and angiotensin antagonists II have proven effective in reducing proteinuria in power even if different therapeutic drug to drug. ACE inhibitors are one of the most known and used treatment options for blocking the renin-angiotensin system in patients with microalbuminuria. Drugs such as enalapril, lisinopril and ramipril are standard therapy in diabetic patients with micro or macroalbuminuria. However, it is still unclear whether their efficacy is, from this point of view, the same or varies from drug to drug. This is particularly true in the diabetic microalbuminuria, a condition in which there is sufficient documentation to prove that ramipril is effective. The main objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and trend of the time and to the antiproteinuric effect of antihypertensive 10-20mg/die imidapril versus ramipril 5-10 mg / day in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Size of the reduction of urinary albumin in 24 hours to the various controls

    Measured: After 12 weeks from the beginning

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 1. Size of the reduction of mean 24-hour average daytime and nighttime average. 2. Size of the reduction of central blood pressure. 3. Magnitude of changes in plasma concentrations of angiotensin II, bradykinin and BNP after 24 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: After 12 weeks from the beginning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ramipril and Imidapril in people with Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Pavia at 1 site in Italy.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2010. 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 Italy. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Roberto Fogari, MD (+39 0382 526217, r.fogari@unipv.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Size of the reduction of urinary albumin in 24 hours to the various controls (time frame: After 12 weeks from the beginning). 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 28 Oct 2010.
