Aldosterone synthase inhibitor ( BI 690517) therapy for people with diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease: A multicentre, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, Phase I trial

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

BI 690517 was generally well tolerated, reduced plasma aldosterone and may decrease albuminuria in participants with diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease.

Study context

Population
People with diabetes and albuminuric CKD (eGFR ≥20 and <75 ml/min/1.73 m²; Urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥200 and <3500 mg/g), 40 sites across Europerandomized 6:1
Participants
58 people
