Summary

Activation of renin-angiotensin plays a crucial role diabetic nephropathy. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and Angiotensin I receptor blocker (ARB) has been shown renoprotection whether it was used alone or in combination. Aliskiren is a direct renin inhibitor (DRI) that has shown renal benefits and safety when combined with ARB. However, to date, the safety of add on aliskiren to the combination treatment of ACEI and ARB in diabetic nephropathy patients remains to elucidate.

Clinical Details

Official title: Safety of Add on Aliskiren to ACEI and ARB Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes With Nephropathy

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome: Assess short-term safety of the combination of aliskiren 300 mg/valsartan 160 mg /enalapril 20 mg in patients with diabetic nephropathy

Secondary outcome:

Reduction of systolic blood pressure

Reduction of proteinuria

Change in GFR/mo

Change of Serum prorenin level compare to baseline

Change of Urinary TGFb1 compare to baseline
