Protection Against Nephropathy in Diabetes with Atorvastatin
ISRCTN ISRCTN58196433
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Protection Against Nephropathy in Diabetes with Atorvastatin
Scientific title
Acronym PANDA
Serial number at source N/A
Study hypothesis To compare the effect of treatment with a low and high dose HMG CoA reductase inhibitor on the progression of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type II diabetes whose blood pressure will be controlled using antihypertensive regimens that will include angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
Ethics approval Central Manchester Research Ethics Committee. Date of approval: 28/07/2004 (ref: 04/Q1407/51)
Study design A double-blinded parallel study, randomised by block design and stratified by centre.

Patient information material
Target number of participants 200
Interventions 1 x 10 mg active atorvastatin (oral) and 2 x 40 mg placebo vs 2 x 40 mg active atorvastatin (oral) and 1 x 10 mg placebo for three years.
Primary outcome measure(s) 1. Difference in the mean level of glomerular filtration rates at 3 years follow-up between patients receiving atorvastatin 10 mg and 80 mg daily
2. Difference in the mean level of albumin excretion rates at 3 years follow-up between patients receiving atorvastatin 10 mg and 80 mg daily
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. Change in serum creatinine and GFR between baseline and 3 years follow-up for patients receiving atorvastatin 10 mg and 80 mg daily
2. Difference in the mean level of serum creatinine at 3 years follow-up between patients receiving atorvastatin 10 mg and 80 mg daily
3. Difference in the percentage of patients achieving low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels <2.6 mmol/l at 3 years follow-up between patients receiving atorvastatin 10 mg and 80 mg daily
4. Difference in the percentage of patients who have a cardiovascular event defined as documented non fatal acute myocardial infarction, hospital admission for unstable angina, appearance of new Q waves on electrocardiogram (ECG), coronary heart disease (CHD) death, coronary artery bypass surgery, coronary angioplasty/stenting or lower limb revascularisation, ischaemic stroke shown by abnormal brain scan or permanent neurological deficit, amputation
5. Difference in the percentage of patients who need photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy within the first 3 years of follow-up between patients receiving atorvastatin 10 mg and 80 mg daily
