E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To confirm that urinary proteomics can predict development of microalbuminuria (as a surrogate marker for the development of overt nephropathy) in a cohort of 2000 type 2 diabetic patients with normal urinary albumin excretion. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-To investigate if early initiation of preventive therapy with spironolactone 25 mg once daily reduces risk of transition to microalbuminuria in those patients identified by urinary proteomics to be at high risk -Assessment of safety in the intervention group -To compare the rate of change in UAER in high- vs. low-risk patients (based on the proteomic test), and to compare the effect of spironolactone on rate of change in UACR in the intervention study. -In addition, the objective is to study the rate of change in eGFR in relation to urinary marker pattern (CKD 273) and the intervention with spironolactone. -To study the ability of urinary proteomic patterns to predict cardiovascular or renal events during the study, as well as response to intervention in relation to study endpoints -To establish a biobank that will allow testing of additional putative markers for progression of diabetic nephropathy, development of cardiovascular events and death

|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
In the following paragraphs patients in the intervention group, (group B) and observation group (group A) will be compared 1) Comparison of composite fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular outcome (MI, stroke, CABG, PTCA, hospitalization for heart failure and CVD), and all cause mortality during the study 2) Comparison of incidence of retinopathy and frequency of laser treatment. Data collected from self-reported AEs 3) In addition to the categorical analysis of urinary albumin excretion, an analysis will be performed with changes in geometric mean albuminuria throughout the study period in all patients by assessing the slope of albuminuria changes and absolute changes from inclusion to end of trial 4) Development of microalbuminuria (UACR >30 mg/g) in at least one morning void urine sample will be used as a secondary outcome instead of confirmed microalbuminuria 5) Development of macroalbuminuria (UACR >300 mg/g) in 2 out 3 first morning void urine samples) 6) For patients with eGFR ≥ 60 at baseline, development of eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73m2. 7) Change in eGFR (slope and absolute from baseline and from 3 month post-baseline to end of study) In the following paragraphs patients receiving active medication will be compared to placebo treatment. 8) Comparison of composite fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular outcome (MI, stroke, CABG, PTCA, hospitalization for heart failure and CVD) and all cause mortality during the study 9) Comparison of incidence of retinopathy and frequency of laser treatment. Data collected from AEs 10) Development of microalbuminuria (UACR > 30 mg/g) in at least one morning void urine sample will be used as a secondary outcome instead of con-firmed microalbuminuria 11) Development of macroalbuminuria (UACR > 300 mg/g in 2 out 3 first morning void urine samples) 12) For patients with eGFR ≥ 60 at baseline, development of eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73m2 13) Change in eGFR (slope and absolute from baseline and from 3 month post-baseline to end of study) 14) Assessment of safety The assessment of safety will be based primarily on the frequency of eCRF-documented AEs, laboratory abnormalities, and SAEs. Occurrence and frequency of eCRF-documented AEs, SAEs and laboratory abnormalities will be summarized by treatment group. In addition AEs leading to death and AEs leading to discontinuation of study medication and/or withdrawal will be summarized for the two treatment groups. |
