About this study

Official title: The Effects of Trimetazidine on Diabetic Nephropathy

With the improvement of people's living standard, the prevalence of Diabetes is increasing year by year. In present, 350 million people worldwide are suffering from diabetes, and by 2035, there will be as high as 600 million. Diabetes causes a variety of complications, including diabetic nephropathy, which is one of the most common complications of Diabetes. Diabetic nephropathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes. Microalbuminuria and glomerular filtration rate decrease are the main manifestation. Even more, it can progress to end-stage renal changes. Data showed that diabetic nephropathy accounts for about 40% of patients with end-stage renal disease receiving renal replacement therapy.

However, the treatment of diabetic nephropathy is still lacking. In the past 40 years, few drugs have been proven to ameliorate the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Even though, the renal function of a large number of diabetic nephropathy patients is gradually deteriorating. Therefore, it is urgent to find a therapeutic drug that acts on different targets.

Trimetazidine is a piperazine derivative. It is mainly used in the treatment of stable angina pectoris. Its safety has been well verified. In recent years, the role of trimetazidine in acute renal damage has been widely reported. A large number of studies have shown that trimetazidine can reduce the effect of contrast agent on renal function and reduce the incidence of contrast nephropathy. There fore, Trimetazidine is a promising drug for delaying the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Read the detailed description

In the present study, there will be 2 groups last for 6 months. One is the control group, who will not receive trimetazidine and the another is the trimetazidine group, who will receive the treatment of trimetazidine, 35mg bid orally.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trimetazidine in people with Diabetic Nephropathies, run by Tongji Hospital.

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 4 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 7 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

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?

Ratio of UACR levels at 6 months to baseline UACR (time frame: 6 month). 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 7 Dec 2021.
