Brief Summary

This study examines the safety and efficacy of calcium channel blocker (CCB) in the treatment of hypertension of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients. Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) was shown to have kidney protecting effects in patients with renal diseases including ADPKD, glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy. In case whose blood pressure is not normalized by ARB alone, CCB is selected additionally. Recent research suggests genetic calcium channel disorder is responsible for the progression of ADPKD. It is not examined clinically if CCB treatment has any harmful effect to patients with ADPKD. This study examines the safety of Cilnidipine (CCB) in the ADPKD patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 mmHg by Candesartan (ARB) alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Kidney Volume measured by MRI.

    Every year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Serum creatinine, hemodialysis, cardiovascular events and central nervous vascular events

    any time during study period

Study Arms (3)

A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

ADPKD patients with blood pressure above 130/85 are enrolled. The patients whose blood pressure is controlled under 130/85 by Candesartan alone are classified into group A.

Drug: Candesartan

B

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 with ARB alone are randomized into group B or C. In group B, blood pressure is controlled by Candesartan plus Cilnidipine. If blood pressure is not lowered by Candesartan plus Cilnidipine alone, another antihypertensive agents except CCB and ACEI are allowable.

Drug: Candesartan and Cilnidipine

C

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 with ARB alone are randomized into group B or C. In group C, blood pressure is controlled by Candesartan plus non-CCB agents such as beta- or alpha- adrenergic blockers or another ARB. Any CCB and ACEI are not allowable.

Drug: Candesartan plus non-CCB agents

Interventions

Candesartan upto 8mg

A

Candesartan upto 8mg per day and Cilnidipine upto 20mg per day

B

Candesartan upto 8mg per day and other antihypertensive drugs except CCB and ACEI

C
