- Definitive diagnosis of Alport syndrome: Kidney biopsy (patient or affected relative/s), and/or mutation analysis (hemizygous X-chromosomal or homozygous autosomal-recessive) and assessment of criteria for clinical diagnosis (haematuria, positive family history regarding kidney diseases, ocular changes, labyrinthine hearing loss)
- Alport syndrome levels 0, I or II at screening (microhaematuria without microalbuminuria or microalbuminuria [30-300 mg albumin/gCrea]) or proteinuria >300 mg albumin/gCrea with GFR>80ml/min). Patients with Alport stage II are not subject to randomization but are treated opel label.
- Aged between =24 months and <18 years at screening
- Assent from patient and informed consent from parents/legal guardian

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To investigate if the treatment of Alport's syndrome with the ACE inhibitor ramipril from early stages of disease is safe and significantly slows disease progression to renal failure.;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Time to progression of Alport Syndrome to the next disease level under ramipril treatment compared to placebo, for all randomised patients.<br><br>Primary Safety Endpoint: Incidence of adverse drug events (ADEs, e.g., angioedema, acute renal failure, hyperkalaemia) under ramipril treatment before disease progression compared to placebo before disease progression, for all randomised patients.<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Primary Efficacy Endpoint: within up to 6 years, until disease progression<br><br>Primary Safety Endpoint: within up to 6 years, until disease progression
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Secondary Efficacy Endpoint: Albuminuria after end of treatment corrected for baseline albuminuria for patients randomised to receive ramipril compared to placebo.<br><br>Secondary Safety Endpoint: Incidence of ADEs (e.g., angioedema, acute renal failure, hyperkalaemia) during treatment for patients randomised to receive ramipril compared to placebo.<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary Efficacy Endpoint: after up to 6 years<br><br>Secondary Safety Endpoint: after up to 6 years
