Irbesartan Versus Placebo in Combination With Ramipril for Treatment of Albuminuria

April 7, 2011 updated by: Bristol-Myers Squibb

Irbesartan Versus Placebo in Combination With Standard Cardiovascular Protection ACE-I Therapy With Ramipril for the Treatment of Albuminuria in Hypertensive Subjects at Elevated Cardiovascular Risk

Albumin in the urine is usually a signal that you might be at risk of cardiovascular complications. The purpose of this study is to determine if the albumin in your urine can be decreased by the treatment regimen that consists of irbesartan taken at the same time with ramipril.
