Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Renal Composite Outcomes [Randomization to 5 years]

    first occurrence of any of the following events: Doubling of serum creatinine level; Death; End stage renal disease

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Cardiovascular Composite Outcomes [Within 5 years]

    Number of participants experiencing the first occurence of any of the following: Cardiovascular death; non-fatal stroke; non-fatal myocardial infarction; hospitalization for unstable angina; lower extremity amputation; coronary/carotid/peripheral revascularization.

  2. The Change in Proteinuria [Randomization to 5 years]

    The median percentage change from baseline value in urinary protein:creatinine ratio

  3. Reciprocal (1/Serum Creatinine) of Serum Creatinine [Randomization to 5 years]

    The amount of serum creatinine was determined by blood tests periodically during the study. The amount of creatinine is an indication of kidney function. The reciprocal of serum creatinine is used in an equation to determine the change in kidney function from baseline. The reciprocal of the serum creatinine was monitored to detect kidney function changes over duration of the study.

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details The study population was defined by the inclusion criteria. This study was carried out at 74 centers in Japan and 3 centers in Hong Kong. After the screening visit, the patients that met inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected to participate in the study. First Patient in: 19 May 2003.
Pre-assignment Detail During 6-week screening, patients were treated with placebo and assessed for eligibility. Eligible patients were assigned to 10mg of olmesartan or placebo. 857 were screened; 577 were randomized; 566=the full analysis set (11 who completed were excluded for protocol violations). Data are based on the participants in the full analysis set.
