Eplerenone Combination Versus Conventional Agents to Lower Blood Pressure on Urinary Antialbuminuric Treatment Effect Trial
Basic Information
Recruitment status | Complete: follow-up complete |
---|---|
Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied | Hypertensive patients with albuminuria under the treatment of the inhibitor of the renin-angiotension system (RAS) |
Date of first enrollment | 2009/04/01 |
Target sample size | 340 |
Countries of recruitment | Japan |
Study type | Interventional |
Intervention(s) | Placebo is added in patients under the treatment of the RAS inhibitor. If BP does not reach to lower than 130/80 mmHg, other antihypertensive drug than aldosterone antagonist and inhibitor of RAS is added. Eplerenone (50mg/day) is added in patients with the treatment of the RAS inhibitor. If BP does not reach to lower than 130/80 mmHg, other antihypertensive drug than aldosterone antagonist and inhibitor of RAS is added. |
Outcome(s)
Primary Outcome | Percent changes in urinary albumin/Cr ratio in first morning void urine from pretreatment period (average of 3 continuously-measured values) to 12 months of treatment |
---|---|
Secondary Outcome | 1. Urinary albumin/Cr ratio in first morning void urine: Absolute value, percent changes from pretreatment period to each period of treatment, etc. 2. Urinary liver-type free fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) 3. Office blood pressure (BP) 4. Serum Cr or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated using the modified MDRD formula in the Japanese Society of Nephrology: eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) = 194 x age -0.287 x serum Cr - 1.094 (multiply by 0.739 in female) 5. Estimated urinary sodium (Na) excretion for a day: Estimated urinary Na excretion for 24 hours (mmol/day) =21.98x{[urinary Na (mEq/L) / urinary Cr (mg/L)] x [-2.04 x age + 14.89 x body weight (kg) +16.14 x height (cm) - 2244.45]}0.392 6. Cerebro-cardio-vascular events: cerebro-cardio-vascular death (fatal myocardial infarction, fatal heart failure, sudden death, fatal stroke, other cardiovascular death) and hospitalization due to cerebro-cardio-vascular disease (nonfatal myocardial infarction, angina, heart failure, cerebral bleeding, cerebral infarction, transient cerebral ischemic attack) |
