Inclusion criteria

* clinical diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes * albumin-to-creatinine ratio \>= 300 mg/g creatinine in first morning urinalysis * serum creatinine between 1.0 and 2.5 mg/dL in women and between 1.2 and 2.5 mg/dL in men

Exclusion criteria

* type 1 diabetes * non-diabetic nephropathy * history of myocardial infarction * history of cardiac bypass grafting within 3 months * history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 6 months * history of carotid artery or peripheral artery revascularization within 6 months * stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 1 year * unstable angina pectoris * heart failure of NYHA functional classes III or IV * rapid progression of kidney disease within 3 months * severe orthostatic hypotension * serum potassium level =\<3.5 mEq(mmol)/L or =\>5.5 mEq(mmol)L * history of rapid elevation of the serum creatinine level after starting treatment with AII receptor antagonists or ACE inhibitors * poor glycemic control: HbA1c level =\>11% * history of myocardial infarction (MI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within 3 months

The Change in ProteinuriaRandomization to 5 yearsThe median percentage change from baseline value in urinary protein:creatinine ratio
Reciprocal (1/Serum Creatinine) of Serum CreatinineRandomization to 5 yearsThe 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.

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 details

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.
