IRMA-2 Trial (IRbesartan in MicroAlbuminuria, Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy Trial) HH Parving et al N Eng J Med 345:870-878, 2001 Edmund J. Lewis, M.D. Muehrcke Family Professor of Nephrology Section of Nephrology Rush University Medical Center Chicago, IL
DefinitionsIRMA-2 Measure of Albuminuria: • Overnight urine albumin for 3 consecutive days • AER 20-200 µG/min in 2 of 3 consecutive overnight urine samples • Urine albumin determined by nephelometry Primary efficacy measure: • Time to event from baseline visit to overt nephropathy (AER >200 µG/min and at least 30% higher than baseline on 2 consecutive visits).
Secondary OutcomesIRMA-2 • Changes in level of albuminuria • Restoration of normal albumin excretion rate AER <20 µG/min) by the time of the last visit

Conclusions IRMA-2 • Irbesartan was effective in diminishing the rate of progression from “microalbuminuria” to “overt nephropathy” • This effect was dose dependent • This study did not document the long-term durability of the result. • Taken with the results of IDNT, this effect appeared to be a valid surrogate in this patient population.
Potential End Points For Study of Microalbuminuria in Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus • decreased albumin excretion rate • decreased progression from “microalbuminuria” (albumin excretion <300 mg/day) to overt nephropathy (>300 mg/day) • regression of albuminuria (normalize or “significantly reduce”
