ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; Kidney Failure, Chronic; Hyperlipidemia
Intervention: Extended release niacin (Drug)
Phase: Phase 3
Status: Terminated
Sponsored by: University of Miami Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Ronald Goldberg, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: University of Miami, Miami, FL
Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and tolerability of NiaspanŽ
to improve the levels of blood fats ("good" and "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels)
in people who have kidney damage due to diabetes. A secondary goal is to test whether
NiaspanŽ slows down further development of kidney damage.
Clinical Details
Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of NiaspanŽ in Patients With Overt Diabetic Nephropathy and Moderate Renal Impairment
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Change in proteinuria
Secondary outcome: Change in LDL (low-density lipoprotein) concentrationChange in LDL particle size Change in estimated GFR (glomerular filtration rate) Incidence of adverse events Change in HDL-C
Detailed description:
Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end stage kidney disease in the United States.
Patients with chronic kidney disease have a markedly increased risk of death from
cardiovascular disease, and traditional risk factors such as hyperlipidemia have been shown
to be of critical importance. Almost 90% of patients with diabetes and chronic kidney
disease have lipid abnormalities. Here, we investigate whether Niaspan, taken in addition to
lipid-lowering drugs referred to as "statins", will decrease LDL cholesterol and increase
LDL particle size, increase HDL, reduce proteinuria, and reduce the speed of loss of renal
function.
