Brief summary

The aim of this study is to compare the short-term effects of ACEi and angiotensin II receptor blockers on cardiac and renal protection in black type 2 diabetics patients CARE-PLP is a double-arm, double-blind, randomized and parallel clinical trial conducted at the National Obesity Center in the Yaoundé Central Hospital. A population of Type 2 diabetes patients, with hypertension and / or microalbuminuria and who are not taking ACEi or angiotensin receptors blockers, is randomize into two groups. Depending on the group, 10 mg Perindopril or 100 mg Losartan is add to the usual treatment for each patient. The patients are followed-up for a period of 08 weeks. The primary outcome is the variation of exercise induced urinary albumin excretion after 08 weeks of intervention.

Detailed description

Given the particularity of the renin-angiotensin system in black subjects, the CARE-PLP study fulfills this objective with the comparison of Losartan and Perindopril after 08 weeks of administration in a subsaharan African population. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the short-term effects of ACEi and angiotensin II receptor blockers on cardiac and renal protection in black type 2 diabetics patients Methods: CARE-PLP is a double-arm, double-blind, randomized and parallel clinical trial conducted at the National Obesity Center in the Yaoundé Central Hospital. A population of Type 2 diabetes patients, with hypertension and / or microalbuminuria and who are not taking ACEi or angiotensin receptors blockers, is randomize into two groups. Depending on the group, 10 mg Perindopril or 100 mg Losartan is add to the usual treatment for each patient. The patients are followed-up for a period of 08 weeks. The primary outcome is the variation of exercise induced urinary albumin excretion after 08 weeks of intervention. Progress: Recruitment for CARE-PLP was completed in february 2018 with 29 patients.

Interventions

10 mg Perindopril tablet / day will be added to the usual treatment for each patient for a period of 8 weeks.

DRUGLosartan Potassium

100 mg Losartan tablet will be added to the usual treatment for each patient for a period of 08 weeks.

Masking description

The double-blind model is applied to the study. Only the adjudicator, responsible for the distribution of medication knew the different regimes. Perindopril and Losartan were packaged in boxes of identical appearance and labeled for each participant by name and number of the randomization program. The randomization and packaging of the drugs was done by an investigator who had no clinical involvement.

Intervention model description

CARE-PLP trial is a double blind, randomized, controlled parallel clinical trial conducted in the National Obesity Center, Yaounde, Cameroon
