Plain-language summary
Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicenter Study. The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once daily administration of atrasentan tablets (low dose and high dose) compared to placebo in reducing residual albuminuria in Type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy who are treated with the maximum tolerated labeled dose of a Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) inhibitor. If the patient is already receiving a maximum tolerated labeled daily dose of RAS inhibitor and a diuretic, he/she will complete 4 weeks of the Run-in Period on a dose that has not been adjusted. If the patient is currently not receiving a maximum labeled daily dose of a RAS inhibitor then the dose will be titrated up to the maximum tolerated labeled dose over the course of 4 to 8 weeks during the Run-in Period. It is expected that subjects not receiving a diuretic will have a diuretic added or titrated during this period to maximize RAS inhibition. Following titration to the maximum tolerated labeled dose, the patient will complete an additional 4 weeks of Run-In Period on an unchanged doses of RAS inhibitor and diuretics, unless medically contraindicated. The randomization will be stratified based on country where subjects are enrolled into the study, and the Week -1 Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR) levels (\< or = 1000 mg/g \[113 mg/mmol\], or \> 1000 mg/g \[113 mg/mmol\]). Within each stratum, subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:2:2 ratio to one of the following blinded treatment groups: Group A - Placebo once daily (QD) Group B - low dose atrasentan QD Group C - high dose atrasentan QD After the 12 weeks of study drug treatment, subjects will be followed up to 30 days.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
