Aliskiren Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Using Cardiovascular and Renal Disease Endpoints - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Novartis
Information provided by:	Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00549757

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-existing disease of the heart and the circulatory system and/or the kidney, aliskiren at a target dose of 300 mg once daily (compared to placebo), on top of conventional treatment, reduces death and disease caused by the heart, the circulatory system and the kidney.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Cardiovascular (CV) death [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Resuscitated sudden death [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Non-fatal stroke [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Onset of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) defined as initiation of dialysis, renal transplantation, or a serum creatinine concentration above 6.0 mg/dL (530 µmol per liter) or renal death [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Doubling of baseline serum creatinine concentration to above the upper limit of normal according to the central laboratory, sustained for at least one month [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Time from randomization to the first event of the following composite CV endpoint: • Cardiovascular (CV) death • Resuscitated sudden death • Non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) [ Time Frame: time of first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Time from randomization to the first event of the following composite CV endpoint: • Non-fatal stroke • Unplanned hospitalization for heart failure (HF) [ Time Frame: time of first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Onset of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) defined as initiation of dialysis, renal transplantation, or a serum creatinine concentration above 6.0 mg/dL (530 µmol per liter) or renal death [ Time Frame: time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Doubling of baseline serum creatinine concentration to above the upper limit of normal according to the central laboratory, sustained for at least one month [ Time Frame: time from randomization to the first event ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
