Study Summary

This trial will explore if a drug to block inflammation can slow the progression of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with type 1 diabetes for at least five years, showing early signs of kidney disease (protein in urine), and on a stable regimen of blood pressure medication and insulin. They should be sedentary or lightly active, not severely obese, and have moderately functioning kidneys. Excluded are those with other serious health issues, current study participants, uncontrolled hypertension, pregnant/breastfeeding women, certain drug users/allergies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if Montelukast can reduce protein levels in the urine (a sign of kidney disease) and improve kidney/heart health in people with type 1 diabetes. Participants will either receive Montelukast or a placebo to compare effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Montelukast may cause side effects like respiratory infections, fever, headaches, sore throat; severe reactions include allergic responses or mood-related changes. The exact side effects within this specific diabetic population will be studied.
