|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the reduction in office systolic BP and albuminuria (mean of three consecutive measurements in 24-hour urine collections) after 5 weeks Rostafuroxin therapy between two subsets of hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients with or without a pre-defined genetic profile (Profile 1) expected to be associated with adducin/ouabain dependent arterial hypertension and glomerular dysfunction.;Secondary Objective: • To compare between-group treatment-induced changes in the following parameters: - In office diastolic, mean and pulse BP; - Mean 24-hour systolic, diastolic, mean and pulse BP; - Day-time and night-time systolic, mean, diastolic and pulse BP; - Pulse wave velocity and other markers of vascular stiffness; - Glomerular filtration rate (as measured by the iohexol plasma clearance); - Albumin and IgG fractional clearance. • To explore the relationships between treatment-induced changes in office and 24-hour BP and concomitant changes in albuminuria in the study group as a whole and within each genotype group considered separately. • To assess treatment safety and tolerability (by evaluation of vital signs and routine laboratory parameters) in the study group as a whole and within each genotype group considered separately. • To explore the possibility that the response to Rostafuroxin is confined or present in the subset of patients carrying the profile 1;Primary end point(s): - Office systolic BP - Albuminuria (mean of three consecutive measurements in 24-hour urine collections) | — |
