Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Type 1 Diabetes | Drug: Statin Drug: ACE inhibitor Drug: Placebo Drug: Combination therapy | Phase 3 |
Subjects will be recruited from a pre-screened population of 3,000 young people with T1D aged 10 to 16 years based on assessment of risk for future CVD and DN.
They will be randomised to a 2 x 2 factorial design contrasting the effects of ACEI, statins, or combination therapy to placebo over a maximum four year treatment period. Minimisation of variation in albumin excretion rate, gender, age, diabetes duration, HbA1c, total cholesterol and centre site will be undertaken at randomisation.
Analysis of the primary endpoint, change in albumin excretion will be undertaken on an intention to treat basis. Secondary analyses will be undertaken on the basis of 'as treated' allowing for variance in compliance and allowing for subjects who show substantial change in HbA1c levels. Additional analyses will be undertaken to assess changes in the secondary objectives and to assess the overall effect of the intervention on quality of life and health economics.

Active Comparator: Statin
Participants receive active statin and placebo ACE Inhibitor
|
Drug: Statin
10mg daily for a minimum period of 2 years
Other Name: Atorvastatin |
Active Comparator: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
Participants receive active ACE Inhibitor and placebo statin
|
Drug: ACE inhibitor
Starting dose of 5mg daily rising after 14 days to 10mg daily providing it is well tolerated for a minimum period of 2 years.
Other Name: Quinapril |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants receive placebo ACE Inhibitor and placebo statin
|
Drug: Placebo
Participants receive statin placebo and ACEI placebo |
Combination therapy
Participants receive both active ACE Inhibitor and active Statin
|
Drug: Combination therapy
Participants receive both active statin and active ACEI. Dose for Statins is 10mg daily. Dosing for ACEI starts at 5mg daily rising to 10mg after 14 days providing it is well tolerated. Both interventions last for a minimum of 2 years.
Other Names:
|
- Albumin creatinine ratio [ Time Frame: 2-4 years treatment duration ]The area under the curve over time of log ACR per year, with standardisation for gender, age and duration of disease
- Changes in CVD risk markers [ Time Frame: 2-4 yrs treatment duration ]
Changes in measures of:
- cIMT, FMD, EndoPAT and PWV between baseline and the end of intervention period;
- arterial BP, lipids and other lipoproteins, CVD risk markers (hsCRP and ADMA), assessed every 6 months during the intervention period.
- Changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [ Time Frame: 2-4 years treatment duration ]Changes in measures of GFR (plasma SDMA, creatinine adn cystatin C levels) assessed every 6 months during intervention period.
- Retinopathy [ Time Frame: 2-4 years treatment duration ]Changes in retinopathy scores and retinal microvascular structure (arteriolar or venular dilation, vascular fractile dimension, branching and tortuosity) assessed annually
- Quality of Life and Health Economics [ Time Frame: 2-4 years treatment duration ]Changes in quality of life measures and resource usage
