Summary

The NID-2 study, a multicentric study (21 centres enrolled), was planned in two phases:

Phase 1(observational study, completed at 2007): after the identification of a type-2 diabetic population with typical DN, to study of the rate of renal and cardiovascular events during a middle term follow-up.

Phase 2(interventional study, started at 2007): after randomization in two groups, a group (intervention group) is treated with an intensive multifactorial intervention whose aim is to reduce morbidity and mortality due to diabetic complications. The other group (control group) continues the conventional therapy . To avoid bias in the treatment in each center, the randomization was performed for centre.

Clinical Details

Official title: Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes: Effects of an Intensive Multifactorial Intervention Trial on Cardio-Renal Events.

Study design: Prevention, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: CV events (total CV mortality, non fatal IMA, non fatal stroke, TIA, major amputations, by-pass or PTCA)

Secondary outcome: A) (In patients with microalbuminuria) • Progression to macroalbuminuria • Regression to normoalbuminuria B) (In patients with macroalbuminuria) • Doubling time of serum creatinine • Reduction of proteinuria to <0,5 g/die

Detailed description: The same patients that completed the first phase of the NID-2 study (observation) were enrolled for the phase 2 of the study (intervention).
