About this study

Official title: Rationale and Design of a Simple Randomized Trial Evaluating Losartan and Perindopril in Blacks Type 2 Diabetics Patients: the Cardiac and Renal Protection With Losartan or Perindopril (CARE-PLP) Trial

The aim of this study is to compare the short-term effects of ACEi and angiotensin II receptor blockers on cardiac and renal protection in black type 2 diabetics patients CARE-PLP is a double-arm, double-blind, randomized and parallel clinical trial conducted at the National Obesity Center in the Yaoundé Central Hospital. A population of Type 2 diabetes patients, with hypertension and / or microalbuminuria and who are not taking ACEi or angiotensin receptors blockers, is randomize into two groups. Depending on the group, 10 mg Perindopril or 100 mg Losartan is add to the usual treatment for each patient. The patients are followed-up for a period of 08 weeks. The primary outcome is the variation of exercise induced urinary albumin excretion after 08 weeks of intervention.

Read the detailed description

Given the particularity of the renin-angiotensin system in black subjects, the CARE-PLP study fulfills this objective with the comparison of Losartan and Perindopril after 08 weeks of administration in a subsaharan African population.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the short-term effects of ACEi and angiotensin II receptor blockers on cardiac and renal protection in black type 2 diabetics patients

Methods: CARE-PLP is a double-arm, double-blind, randomized and parallel clinical trial conducted at the National Obesity Center in the Yaoundé Central Hospital. A population of Type 2 diabetes patients, with hypertension and / or microalbuminuria and who are not taking ACEi or angiotensin receptors blockers, is randomize into two groups. Depending on the group, 10 mg Perindopril or 100 mg Losartan is add to the usual treatment for each patient. The patients are followed-up for a period of 08 weeks. The primary outcome is the variation of exercise induced urinary albumin excretion after 08 weeks of intervention.

Progress: Recruitment for CARE-PLP was completed in february 2018 with 29 patients.

  • Losartan PotassiumDrug

    Also called Losartan

    100 mg Losartan tablet will be added to the usual treatment for each patient for a period of 08 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of exercise-induced urinary albumin excretion

    Variation of exercise-induced urinary albumin excretion (mg/j) between week 0 and week 8. By nephelometry method.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in rest urinary albumin excretion

    Change in rest urinary albumin excretion (mg/l) from baseline to week 08. By nephelometry method.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Change in mitral E/Ea ratio

    Change in mitral E/Ea ratio from baseline to week 08. By tissue doppler on echocardiography.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Change in nycthemeral blood pressure profile (mmHg)

    Change in nycthemeral blood pressure profile from baseline to week 08. By using Arterial Blood Pressure Monitoring.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Change in concentration of antioxidants markers (micromol)

    Change in concentration of antioxidants markers from baseline to week 08. By spectrophotometer

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Change in lipid profile (triglycerides, Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol) on g/l

    Change in lipid profile from baseline to week 08. By spectrophotometer

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. Change in uricemia concentration

    Change in uricemia concentration (mg/l) from baseline to week 08. By spectrophotometer

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Perindopril Arginine and Losartan Potassium in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Yaounde Central Hospital at 1 site in Cameroon.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 10 Jan 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 Cameroon. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Variation of exercise-induced urinary albumin excretion (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Jan 2020.
