Brief Summary

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

This study compares the effects of once-daily versus twice-daily ramipril dosing on renal function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Outcomes include changes in plasma renin activity, malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, albuminuria, and cystatin C after 30 days of therapy.

Detailed Description

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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently coexists with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), characterized by neurohormonal activation, inflammation, oxidative stress, and progressive renal deterioration. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) contributes significantly to both renal and cardiac dysfunction. Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor, is widely recommended for CKD with albuminuria and HFrEF. However, discrepancies exist in guidelines regarding once-daily versus twice-daily administration. These differences may influence RAAS suppression effectiveness and patient adherence.

This randomized, double-blind, parallel assignment clinical trial investigates the impact of once-daily (10 mg every 24 hours) versus twice-daily (5 mg every 12 hours) ramipril dosing on renal biomarkers in CKD patients with HFrEF. Outcomes include plasma renin activity (PRA), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), albuminuria, and cystatin C measured over a 30-day treatment period. The study aims to provide scientific evidence to support optimal ramipril dosing strategies that improve renal outcomes among patients with CKD and reduced ejection fraction heart failure.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants are randomly assigned in parallel to one of two treatment groups: once-daily ramipril (10 mg every 24 hours) or twice-daily ramipril (5 mg every 12 hours). Each participant remains in the same assigned arm for the entire 30-day treatment period, and outcomes are assessed at baseline and day 30.
