About this trial
Alport syndrome (AS) is the second most common monogenic cause of end-stage renal failure (ESRF). AS is caused by variants in the COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes, which encode for the a3, a4, and a5 chains of type IV collagen. This trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled and multicenter trial. Mainly to assess the safety and efficacy of ramipril in Alport syndrome patients with variants of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5.
