Triple Blockade of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System in Diabetic (Type 1&2) Proteinuric Patients

Information source: John H. Stroger Hospital
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on October 19, 2009
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Microalbuminuria; Macroalbuminuria; Diabetes; Proteinuria; Albuminuria

Intervention: Aliskiren (Drug); Aliskiren (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: John H. Stroger Hospital

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Pete Antonopoulos, PharmD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: John H. Stroger Hospital

Summary

Study Hypothesis:

Reduction in albuminuria has been shown to decrease progression of diabetic

nephropathy. In diabetic nephropathy patients treated with maximal

antihypertensive doses with dual RAAS blockade (total daily dose valsartan 320

mg and either enalapril 40 mg or benazepril 40 mg daily), persistent

albuminuria reflects further additional RAAS activation. Microvascular renal

disease due to increased RAAS activation may be more effectively treated with

triple blockade by the addition of a direct renin inhibitor (DRI) Aliskiren.

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase 4 Study of Triple Blockade (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE-I), Angiotensin Receptor Blocker(ARB), Direct Renin Inhibitor(DRI)) of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) in Diabetic (Type 1&2) Proteinuric Patients
