Brief summary

To determine the effective dose of candesartan cilexetil for reduction of urinary protein excretion in hypertensive patients with non-diabetic chronic kidney disease with baseline urinary protein/creatinine ratio between 500mg/g and 5000mg/g, by assessing the change in urinary protein/creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of 28-week treatment

Recruitment details

155 enrolled, 27 screening failure, 128 randomized. Eligibility criteria not fulfilled meant subjects who were not fulfilled at Visit 1 or Enrolment, but screening failure subjects were who fulfilled at Visit 1, but not at Visit 2 after screening period.

Pre-assignment details

Total 128 patient enrolled, but among of them, 9 subjects excluded from analysis because of Withdrawal by Subject, Protocol violation, Eligibility criteria not fullfiled. You can see these number in above table. This analysis was conducted based on Intend to treat. Therefore, total analyzed number is 119, and 39, 44, 36 per arm respectively.
