Extension Study to Assess Long Term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Valsartan and Enalapril Combined and Alone in Children With Hypertension - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Information provided by:	Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00446511

Purpose

The purpose of this extension study is to compare the long term safety of valsartan versus enalapril, and the effectiveness of the combination of valsartan and enalapril versus enalapril alone in children with Chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition it will evaluate proteinuria reduction, renopreservation, and tolerability of valsartan and enalapril combination vs. enalapril monotherapy alone in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Long-term safety and tolerability of valsartan and enalapril [ Time Frame: at every visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Percentage of non-Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients with a Mean sitting Systolic Blood Pressure < 95th percentile for gender, age and height [ Time Frame: baseline to week 26 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Mean ambulatory blood pressure reduction as measured by 24 hour ABPM. [ Time Frame: from baseline to week 26 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Percentage of CKD patients treated achieving urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) reduction by ≥ 25% [ Time Frame: from week 12 to week 26 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Percentage of CKD patients who have urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) reduced by ≥ 50% [ Time Frame: from baseline to week 26 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
