Condition(s) targeted: Diabetes Mellitus, Type I; Diabetic Nephropathy
Intervention: Lisinopril (Drug)
Phase: N/A
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Steno Diabetes Center Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Hans-Henrik Parving, MD, Study Chair, Affiliation: Steno Diabetes Center
Summary
The primary aim is to evaluate the anti proteinuric effect of increasing doses of the ACE
inhibitor, lisinopril: 20, 40 and 60 mg daily in type 1 diabetic patients with hypertension
and diabetic nephropathy.
The secondary aim is to evaluate the effect on blood pressure (24 hour ambulatory blood
pressure) and kidney function (glomerular filtration rate (GFR)).
The tertiary aim is to evaluate differences in response to treatment according to
ACE/insertion/deletion (ID)-genotypes and other genetic variants in the genes of the renin
angiotensin system.
Clinical Details
Official title: Optimal Dose of ACE Inhibitor for Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 1 Diabetic Patients With Hypertension and Diabetic Nephropathy
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double-Blind, Primary Purpose: Prevention
Primary outcome: albuminuria
Secondary outcome: blood pressure (24 hour ambulatory) and GFR.Tertiary: differences in response to treatment in patients with different ACE/ID and other renin angiotensin system genotypes.
Detailed description:
This is a randomized, double-blind cross-over study with three treatment periods consisting
of 20, 40 and 60 mg lisinopril daily in random order. The endpoints of the study will be
examined after each treatment period. There is no wash out between treatment periods. To
minimize the risk of hypotension every treatment period starts with 20 mg lisinopril for two
weeks. Thus, the risk of adverse effects is minimized and an increase in dose from 0 mg to
60 mg lisinopril is avoided.
The patients usual antihypertensive treatments will be stopped in a period of 8 weeks (wash
out) before randomization. Since diuretic drugs will be needed by almost every patient in
the study to avoid oedema all patients will be treated with lasix retard 60 – 120 mg daily.
Patients:
60 type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy and hypertension (blood pressure > 135
mm Hg systolic and/or 85 mm Hg diastolic).
Methods:
The endpoints of the study will be examined at baseline and after each treatment period
corresponding to 8, 16, and 24 weeks after randomization. The following parameters are
determined after each treatment period: Albuminuria (determined from three consecutive 24
hours urine collections), kidney function (GFR – by plasma clearance of 51Cr-EDTA ), and 24
hour ambulatory blood pressure (TM-2420/2421). Furthermore, the concentrations of TGF-ß,
sodium, creatinine, and carbamide in the 24 hour urinary samples are determined. The plasma
concentration of albumin, renin, angiotensin II, and aldosterone is measured.
DNA is extracted from a blood sample and genetic variants in the renin-angiotensin system
are measured including the ACE/ID genotype.
Endpoints:
Primary endpoint: albuminuria ; Secondary endpoints: blood pressure (24 hour ambulatory) and
GFR; Tertiary: differences in response to treatment in patients with different ACE/ID and
other renin angiotensin system genotypes.
