Scientific title
Study objectivesThe aims of this study are to examine the two null hypotheses stated below and, as a secondary measure, to evaluate the relationship between urinary protein excretion and vascular compliance.
1. There is no difference in the effect of ramipril or irbesartan on vascular compliance measurements in subjects with type 2 diabetes complicated with nephropathy
2. Combination therapy with ramipril and irbesartan does not confer any additional effect on vascular compliance when compared to each drug used in isolation
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedVascular compliance
InterventionPlease not that as of 22/09/09 the status of this trial has been changed to "Stopped". The trial did not commence due to funding and resource issues

Double blind randomised cross over design clinical trial. Subjects will be randomised to receive an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, ramipril plus placebo, or AT2 receptor antagonist, irbesartan plus placebo, or ramipril plus irbesartan for 6 weeks in maximum doses.
