Blood Pressure Control for Type 2 Diabetes (BM4DM)

March 18, 2018 updated by: National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan

Blood Pressure Control to Reduce Renal Risk for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The BP4DM study was initiated as a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate the renal protection effect for tight blood pressure control for Taiwanese T2DM patients without previously diagnosed CV events. We set our primary outcome for the prevention of microalbuminuria development. The secondary outcomes include mortality, annual renal function declining rate, and development of cardiovascular events. The recruitment period for the RCT trial is from 2013 Oct to 2019 Dec. In addition, we also intend to continuously follow up all our recruited hypertensive diabetes patients for at least 10 years to observe their clinical outcomes including cardiovascular, renal, retinal outcomes and mortality.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The evidence from previous literature shows importance of the blood pressure control in T2DM. About 20% (16-29%) reduction in microalbuminuria development can be reached by continuously lowering blood pressure level from 154/87 mmHg to 144/82 mmHg (the UKPDS), to 134.7/74.8 mmHg (the ADVANCE study), and even to 119.3/64.4 mmHg (the ACCORD study). However, several limitations are also inherent in the above well-known studies. First, most of the recruited participants previous trials were Caucasians. Although 3293 Chinese patients were recruited in the ADVANCE study, they only accounted for 29.6% of total enrollees in that trial. The representative of Asian population is inadequate. There is also lack of domestic evidence-based guideline designated for Taiwanese T2DM patients in optimizing their blood pressure control. In addition, some characteristics in Asian T2DM population are different from what have been observed in the Caucasian T2DM patients. For example, there is BMI discrepancy between T2DM in Western and Eastern countries, more ACEi/ARB side effects (e.g., cough) observed in Asian population, and the possible difference in CKD/ESRD incidence in T2DM between different ethnic groups.

Moreover, the enrollees in most well-known trials (e.g., ADVANCE and ACCORD studies) were those who suffered from at least one cardiovascular risk factor for secondary prevention. To our best knowledge, there is no study designed to evaluate effectiveness of blood pressure control for T2DM patients without previous CV events. Therefore, we initiated a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate the renal protection effect for tight blood pressure control for Taiwanese T2DM patients without previously diagnosed CV events. We set our primary outcome for the prevention of microalbuminuria development to partly respond to the urgent need for this society in solving the huge burden caused by the high incidence and prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in Taiwan.

The study includes two parts: (1) a RCT trial, (2) an observational cohort study. The recruitment period of this study is from 2013 Oct to 2019 Dec. The RCT trial will be ended in 2019 Dec. In addition, we also intend to continuously follow up all our recruited hypertensive diabetes patients for at least 10 years to observe their clinical outcomes including cardiovascular, renal, retinal outcomes and mortality (the part of the observational cohort study).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

30 years to 75 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
