Protocol summary

Study aim
1. Comparison of effects of co-administration of atorvastatin and melatonin with atorvastatin and placebo on the ratio of urine albumin to creatinine in type-2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. 2. Comparison of effects of co-administration of atorvastatin and melatonin with atorvastatin and placebo on the rate of eGFR in type-2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.
Design
Randomised, parallel group trial with blinded outcome assessment. The sample size is120 patients. The random number table and block randomization method will be used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Patients will be recruited from Firoozgar Hospital Endocrine Research Center. Patients who are eligible will sign informed consent form. Screening is done 30 days before treatment. Laboratory tests will be performed before the start of treatment and at 6 months after treatment. During the study, unwanted side effects will be investigated. Blood tests include serum creatinine, triglyceride, LDL-c, HDL-c, total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, serum BUN. Urinalysis involves taking 24-hour urine and measuring urine volume, urine creatinine, urine albumin, and the ratio of urine albumin to creatinine and the rate of GFR. Patients, physicians, people who put medications in cans and data collection authorities will be blind.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Type II diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. Patients who sign informed consent form. Patients with HbA1c < 8% Exclusion criteria: Patients with blood pressure > 160⁄90 mmHg Patients with statins intolerance. Pregnant or breast-feeding patients. Patients with a history of alcohol abuse or smoking.
Intervention groups
Group 1: Patients receiving atorvastatin (20 mg) and placebo. Group 2: Patients receiving melatonin (3 mg) and atorvastatin (20 mg) simultaneously.
Main outcome variables
Urine albumin to creatinine ratio

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The random number table and block randomization method will be used using http://www.randomizer.org.In this method, eligible patients are divided into blocks of 4 patients. We create random numbers using computer.Based on the determined numerical range to enter individuals in each group, half of the patients in each block will receive atorvastatin (20 mg) and placebo and half of them receive atorvastatin (20 mg) and Melatonin (3 mg).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Participants, the person who puts the medication in cans and labels on the cans, the person who selects and enrols the eligible patients, A person who blocks patients and determines the allocation of medications to patients, the doctor who gives the medications to the patients, data collection authorities, those who evaluate the outcome and those who prepare the draft article do not know what kind of drugs are in each can.
