Trial Outcomes & Findings for Losartan to Reverse Sickle Nephropathy (NCT NCT01479439)

NCT ID: NCT01479439

Last Updated: 2020-09-29

Results Overview

Number of participants who have a ≥25% reduction in urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) from baseline to 6 months. This is a categorical outcome (yes/no). We hypothesized and pre-specified that ≥30% of the subjects in the microalbuminuria group would meet this outcome.

Participant Flow

This was a multicenter, phase 2, open-label study of losartan for sickle cell nephropathy. Participants were enrolled at nine centers in the United States between 2012 and 2015.

Concomitant treatment with hydroxyurea was allowed, but the dose must have been stable in the 3 months preceding enrollment. Participants were allocated to three pre-specified groups defined by baseline urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR).
