About this study

Official title: Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes: Effects of an Intensive Multifactorial Intervention Trial on Cardio-renal Events.

The NID-2 study, a multicentric study (21 centres enrolled), was planned in two phases:

Phase 1(observational study, completed in September 2005): after the identification of a type-2 diabetic population with typical Diabetic Nephropathy (DN), to study of the rate of renal and cardiovascular events during a middle term follow-up.

Phase 2(interventional study, started in October 2005): after randomization in two groups, a group (intervention group) is treated with an intensive multifactorial intervention whose aim is to reduce morbidity and mortality due to diabetic complications. The other group (control group) continues the conventional therapy . To avoid bias in the treatment in each center, the randomization was performed for centre.

Read the detailed description

The same patients that completed the first phase of the NID-2 study (observation) were enrolled for the phase 2 of the study (intervention).

Being tested
SoC therapy, irbesartan, ramipril, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide
Keywords
type 2 diabetes, nephropathy, cardiovascular (CV) events
Medical subject headings

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard of Care (SoC) therapyActive comparatorControl group patients will continue their SoC therapy. During the study such patients could receive all the therapeutic modifications according to the good medical practice of the specialist.
Receives: Drug: SoC therapy
Multifactorial Intensified therapyExperimentalAn intensive multifactorial intervention according Scientific Guidelines is performed to achieve the goals for the following risk factors: hypertension, hyperglycaemia, lipids, anaemia. In particular, new antihypertensive drugs will be added one by one until the achievement of blood pressure target (<130/80 mmHg).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. "Number of Participants With Overall Fatal and Non-fatal, Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs)"

    number of MACEs in the two groups are reported. In addition, The primary endpoint was analyzed with event curves for the time-to-first event based on Kaplan-Meier analysis. Cox regression model was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Due to the cluster randomized study design, a Cox shared-frailty model was fitted. multivariable model was adjusted for selected potential confounders: age, sex, systolic blood pressure (SBP), hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albuminuria, HbA1c, total cholesterol and triglycerides (log-scaled) to reduce risk of bias.

    Measured: 4 years (in the case the number of events needed by sample size is not reached at the expected 4-year time frame, primary end point will be assessed after the follow-up phase)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. "Number of Participants Who Achieved of BP, HbA1c and Total, HDL and LDL Cholesterol Goals at the End of Intervention Phase"

    Achievement of targets at end of intervention was performed applying generalized estimating equation (GEE) models, further adjusting for baseline values as covariate.

    Measured: 13 years

A Phase 4 study testing SoC therapy, irbesartan and ramipril in people with Diabetic Nephropathy, run by University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 May 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

"Number of Participants With Overall Fatal and Non-fatal, Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs)" (time frame: 4 years (in the case the number of events needed by sample size is not reached at the expected 4-year time frame, primary end point will be assessed after the follow-up phase)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00535925, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2020.
