Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
(For Full list, see protocol)
• Pediatric outpatients, 5-17 years of age, with a history of chronic kidney disease.
• Male and female patients with body weight = 15 kg and = 100 kg are eligible.
• Must be able to swallow tablets.
• Must be receiving a standardized dose of an ACEI for at least for 2 months, for the treatment of proteinuria, without known ACEI-suspected adverse effects which could prevent the patient from continuing to receive the same dose of the ACEI for an additional 18 months.
• Urine dipstick for protein = trace at Visit 1.
• Proteinuria demonstrated in 2 of 3 early morning void urine specimen collections at Visit 2 (UPCR = 500 mg/g).
• GFR = 30 ml/min/1.73m2 and = 90 ml/min/1.73m2, as estimated by the Schwartz formula using the Visit 1 serum creatinine value.
• MSSBP/MSDBP must be < 95th percentile, for age, gender and height, at Visit 2, by office blood pressure measurement.
Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria:
(For full list, see protocol):
Renal transplant patients
• Renal artery stenosis.
• Patients with active systemic disease(s) (e.g. diabetes, amyloidosis, vasculitis, lupus nephritis) defined as those with current, recent (in the past two months) or frequent (= 2 episodes in the past 12 months) exacerbations of disease activity, and those in whom immunosuppressive medication was increased within two months prior to screening
• Patients who are currently or within two months prior to screening on the following medications. [Note: Patients on maintenance immunosuppressive therapy (CsA, FK 506, MMF or azathioprine), administered at unchanged dose in the past 2 months pior to screening, and expected to remain unchanged throughout the study, are allowed.]:
• Intraveous or oral cyclophosphamide
• Intravenous or oral steroid pulse therapy
• Oral steroid therapy >0.5 mg/kg/d
• Serum potassium < 3.5 or > 5.3 mEq/L.
• Hemoglobin < 8 gm/dL.
• WBC < 3000/mm3.
• Patients currently on Angiotensin II type-1 Receptor Blocker (ARB) therapy
• Patients are not medically able or willing to discontinue aldosterone receptor antagonist and/or potassium sparing diuretic medications for the duration of the study.


Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender:
Female: yes
Male: yes
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Chronic kidney disease is characterized by a progressive decline of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which occurs irrespectively of the cause of the renal damage once a critical nephron mass has been lost.

Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: • Evaluate the proportion of patients who have their UPCR reduced by = 50% from baseline to end of Period 1.
• Evaluate the proportion of patients who have their urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) reduced by = 50% from baseline to end of Period 1.
• Evaluate proteinuria reduction as measured by UACR from baseline to end of Period 1
Entire study : To Evaluate:
• Proportion of patients who have their UPCR reduced by = 50% from baseline to end of Period 2.
• Proportion of patients who have their urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) reduced
by = 50% from baseline to end of Period 2.
• Proteinuria reduction as measured by UPCR and UACR from baseline to end of
Period 2.
• Proportion of patients with = 25% GFR loss from baseline at end of Period 2.
• Change in GFR (difference in slope) from baseline to end of treatment Period 2.
• To evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of valsartan in this population.
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of valsartan versus placebo in
children with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) manifested by persistent proteinuria (> 500 mg/g) while receiving a standardized dose of ACEI therapy to provide important prescribing information to the pediatrician on the use of valsartan in children with CKD.
Primary end point(s): Period 1 : Change from baseline in log (UPCR) month 4

Period 1 + Period 2 : Chronic slope of GFR over time, month 2 to 18
