Effect of Montelukast on Kidney and Vascular Function in Type 1 Diabetes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Kidney disease is a common problem among people with type 1 diabetes and can lead to disability, dialysis, and early death. Inflammation plays a key role in the development of kidney disease in type 1 diabetes and targeting leukotrienes, inflammatory chemicals the body releases in response to allergic reactions, may represent a promising therapy to slow the progression of diabetic kidney disease. The current proposal will investigate whether montelukast, a leukotriene blocker, lowers increased levels of protein in the urine (an early marker of diabetic kidney disease), and improves kidney and cardiovascular function in people with type 1 diabetes and kidney disease.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age 18-80 years
-
Type 1 diabetes for at least 5 years

eGFR 30-89 ml/min/1.73m2 at time of screening
-
Blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg prior to randomization
-
Use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker with stable dose for 4 weeks
-
BMI < 40 kg/m2 (FMDBA measurements can be inaccurate in severely obese patients).

Stable anti-hypertensive regimen for at least one month prior to randomization
-
Stable regimen of insulin delivery, i.e. automated insulin delivery (AID) system or multiple daily injections) 4 weeks prior to randomization
-
Sedentary or recreationally active (≤2 days of vigorous aerobic exercise as vigorous exercise may affect vascular function measurements)
