| Scientific title | Aldosterone blockade in children with chronic allograft nephropathy: A prospective randomized controlled trial with patient blinding |
| Study acronym | ABCWCAN (Efecto del Bloqueo de Aldosterona en la Nefropatía Crónica en Niños con Trasplante Renal) |
| Study objectives | Eplerenone prevents the progression of chronic allograft nephropathy in children |
| Ethics approval(s) | The local research ethics committee (Comisión de Etica Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez) approved on the 16th f June 2009 (ref: HIM/2009/015) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Chronic allograft nephropathy |
| Intervention | Patients are randomized to receive Eplerenone to induce aldosterone blockade or a placebo. Visits scheduled at baseline, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks and every three months afterwards to complete 2 years of follow-up. A complete clinical examination is performed and blood sample is drawn for complete blood cell count, serum levels of creatinine, electrolytes, transaminases, cholesterol, tryglicerides. 24h urine collection for proteinuria and urine nitrates. Aldosterone and TGFb plasma levels will be measured every six months. |
| Intervention type | Drug |
| Phase | Phase IV |
| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Eplerenone |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
1. Change in glomerular filtration rate at 24 months |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. Acute rejection episodes in 24 months |
