Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bindarit is effective to reduce albuminuria, compared to placebo, in nephropathic patients treated with irbesartan, as a background therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a pilot phase II, double-blind, multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel groups study in patients with DN undergoing irbesartan therapy.

According to screening urinary albumin excretion, at baseline and before randomization, all patients will be categorized into 2 strata:

Stratum 1: microalbuminuria (20 to 200 μg/min, in at least 2 of 3 consecutive overnight urine samples collected at the screening) Stratum 2: macroalbuminuria (\>200 μg/min, in at least 2 of 3 consecutive overnight urine samples collected at the screening).

Within each stratum, patients will be randomly allocated on a 1:1 basis to the 2 treatment arms (after one month induction period):

* bindarit 600MG twice a day
* placebo All patients will be treated with irbesartan 300 mg/day as background therapy. After 12 months of treatment albuminuria will be evaluated as primary endopoint.
