ROADMAP

T2DM without microalbuminuria

4449

Olmesartan vs. placebo

Olmesartan delayed the onset of microalbuminuria

Olmesartan group had lower BPs and more CV deaths

IRMA-2

T2DM and microalbuminuria

590

Irbesartan 150 mg vs. irbesartan 300 mg vs. placebo

Irbesartan reduced the development of overt proteinuria

Subgroup analysis suggested a dose-dependent effect

Captopril Trial

T1DM with proteinuria

409

Captopril 25 mg 3×/d vs. placebo

Captopril reduced the risk for doubling of SCr as a primary outcome and death, dialysis therapy, or transplantation as a secondary outcome

IDNT

T2DM with proteinuria and reduced kidney function

1715

Irbesartan vs. amlodipine vs. placebo

Irbesartan reduced the risk for doubling of SCr, ESRD, or death

RENAAL

T2DM with proteinuria and reduced kidney function

1513

Losartan vs. placebo

Losartan reduced the risk for doubling of SCr, ESRD, or death

ONTARGET

Patients with CV risk

25,620

Ramipril vs. telmisartan vs. telmisartan and ramipril

No CV benefit among the 3 arms; proteinuria reduction in combination therapy arm

Increase in “DDT” events in combination therapy arm

VA NEPRON-D

T2DM and proteinuria

1448

Losartan and lisinopril vs. losartan and placebo

Trial terminated early due to AKI events and hyperkalemia in combination therapy arm

ALTITUDE

T2DM, proteinuria, and CV risk

8561

ACEi or ARB and aliskiren vs. ACEi or ARB and placebo

Trial terminated early due to increase in adverse events and no apparent benefit in the dual-therapy arm
