Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Patiromer add-on to a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) will reduce blood pressure and left ventricular (LV) mass to a greater extent compared to patients with MRA alone and favorably affect key secondary hemodynamic and inflammatory variables including atherosclerosis progression. Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Type II diabetes. A cell type called the monocyte/macrophage is critical to development and complications of atherosclerosis. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of a medication called Spironolactone in addition to Patiromer in preventing atherosclerosis in Type II diabetes through its effects on cells such as the monocyte. Spironolactone has been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of patients after a heart attack and stroke. The investigators will evaluate the impact of Spironolactone in combination with Patiromer in reducing atherosclerosis plaque and additionally evaluate its potential in changing inflammation. The investigators envision that a strategy of simultaneously probing effect of a drug combined with analysis of mechanisms of action and predictive response will likely provide key information with which to design hard event (heart attack, stroke etc.) based trials.
