1 The Evaluate Trial

2 Rationale and Design of the Eplerenone Combination Versus conventional Agents to Lower blood pressure on Urinary Antialbuminuric Treatment Effect Reference Ando K, Ohtsu H, Arakawa Y, et al. Rationale and design of the Eplerenone combination Versus conventional Agents to Lower blood pressure on Urinary Antialbuminuric Treatment Effect (EVALUATE) trial: a double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the antialbuminuric effects of an aldosterone blocker in hypertensive patients with albuminuria. Hypertens Res. 2010;33:616–621.

3 Background Ando et al. identified the effects of mineralocorticoid receptor blockade in inhibiting ongoing renal damage in animal models of chronic kidney disease. The EVALUATE trial is designed to confirm these preliminary findings in clinical settings. This trial is expected to show whether a low dose of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists can exert an anti-albuminuric effect in patients with chronic kidney disease.

4 Aim To evaluate the anti-albuminuric effects of an aldosterone blocker in hypertensive patients with albuminuria.

5 Methods

6 Results To be published.

7 Conclusion The trial is ongoing and is expected to show whether a low dose of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists can exert an anti-albuminuric effect in patients with chronic kidney disease. The results of this study would identify the anti-albuminuric role of eplerenone in patients with chronic kidney disease.
