Summary

The primary objective is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo reduces the progression of diabetic retinopathy in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy.

The secondary objective is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo, reduces the incidence of clinically significant macular oedema (CSME) and/or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and beneficially influences the rate change in urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER).

This study is part of the DIRECT Programme also including a primary prevention study of diabetic retinopathy in type 1 diabetes and a secondary prevention study in type 1 diabetes. The primary objective for all three pooled studies is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo, reduces the incidence of microalbuminuria in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients.
