Study of the Use of Niaspan for Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Diabetic Nephropathy
RandomizedParallel-groupDouble-blindTreatment
Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and tolerability of Niaspan® to improve the levels of blood fats ("good" and "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels) in people who have kidney damage due to diabetes. A secondary goal is to test whether Niaspan® slows down further development of kidney damage.
