The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, cotadutide, for the potential treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease. This healthy volunteer study will try to identify how two different concentrations of cotadutide are taken up by the body when dosed under the skin (subcutaneous injection). The study will also try to identify the absolute bioavailability of cotadutide (amount taken up by the body when dosed under the skin compared to an injection directly into the vein (intravenous)). This is a single-part, three-period study taking place at one non-NHS site in the UK and will involve 12 male and female (non-pregnant/non-lactating) volunteers aged 18-55. For each study period, on Day 1 volunteers will receive cotadutide as either a subcutaneous injection (into the stomach) or an intravenous injection following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. The subcutaneous injections will be given as either a 1 mg/ml or 5 mg/ml concentration. The intravenous injection will be given as a 0.1 mg/ml concentration. Volunteers will be discharged on Day 4 and there will be a washout period of 7 days between dosing. Blood samples will be taken at regular intervals for pharmacokinetics and safety assessments from Day -1 to discharge. Volunteers will need to return for a follow up visit 28 (±2) days post-first dose for provisional of an anti-drug antibody sample and to ensure wellbeing
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) combined with bioelectrical vector analysis (BIVA) on the nutritional and hydration status and the quality of life (QoL) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Design and Methods: Thirty-two chronic HD patients were included in a 6-month randomized pilot study. Patients in SUPL group received a simultaneous intervention consisting of a personalized diet, 245 mL/d ONS and dry weight adjustment through BIVA. Patients in CON group received a personalized diet and dry weight adjustment by BIVA. Anthropometrical, biochemical, dietary, QoL, handgrip strength (HGS) and bioimpedance measurements were performed. Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) was applied.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global public health problem with an increasing prevalence and incidence, poor prognosis, and high costs. It is characterized by changes in the kidney structure and functions for more than three months. It is grouped into several stages, including end-stage kidney disease requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). Hemodialysis (HD) is one of the RRT options other than kidney transplantation. Regular moderate-intensity exercise may improve certain elements of the immune system and have anti-inflammatory benefits. Aerobic exercise, extremity muscle strength exercises, and inspiratory muscle training have been reported to improve kidney function and quality of life in CKD patients receiving hemodialysis three times a week. However, the effect of inspiratory muscle training on kidney and immune function, and quality of life in CKD patients receiving HD twice a week remains unclear.
The investigators propose to determine the impact of high-protein beverages on protein status and inflammation markers among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. A 12-week double-blind randomized cross-over trial will be used in which participants (n=22) will consume a 4-ounce high protein supplement with either whey (20 g total protein) or soy (20 g total protein). Outcomes of interest include serum urea nitrogen and inflammation markers (CRP and IL-6). The findings will contribute to the knowledge gap regarding the effect of different protein types in CKD populations which can be translated to the development of affordable supplements to prevent malnutrition in adults with non-communicable diseases.
The objectives of this analysis is to determine the incidence of anemia occurring in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care (i.e. prior to any eventual referral to nephrology care). This analysis also evaluates patient characteristics, anemia treatment and associated cardiovascular risk.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. When CKD happens in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, CKD is also referred to as diabetic kidney disease (DKD). FIGARO-BM is an add-on study in which blood draws that were collected in the FIGARO-DKD study are further analyzed. No additional blood draws (also referred to as biological samples) or data will be obtained from the participants, nor will any additional or new study intervention be introduced. No visit or patient contact other than for obtaining the agreement by the patients (also called informed consent) will be required. Inflammation and scarring are both seen as responsible for worsening of chronic kidney disease. There is much information from animal studies that the study treatment finerenone (BAY94-8862) works against inflammation and against scarring (also called fibrosis) in organs such as the kidney. In this exploratory study researchers want to learn more about the study treatment finerenone (BAY94-8862). To find this out, this study will examine substances called biomarkers in blood draws from participants in the FIGARO-DKD study. Biomarkers are used as indicators of biological processes, disease processes or responses to medication. The biomarkers that will be examined stand for inflammation, organ scarring (also called fibrosis), blood vessel function and congestion. The main question of this study is whether there are differences between these biomarkers in the group of participants who received finerenone and the group of participants who received a placebo in the FIGARO-DKD study. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. To answer this question, the researchers will compare the levels of these biomarkers between the two groups at different time points after starting the study treatment. Blood samples for this study will be obtained from FIGARO-DKD study sites with a high number of participants who had been treated with finerenone or placebo for at least 24 months. This information will be combined with other information from biomarker examinations already available in the FIGARO-DKD study.
In this observational study, data from the recent past of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease will be studied. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a condition in which the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use insulin well. This results in high blood sugar levels. About half of people with T2DM also have a condition called chronic kidney disease (CKD). In people with CKD, the kidneys' ability to work as how it should decreases over time. In this study, researchers want to learn more about the CKD in T2DM patients in Alberta, Canada. This will help them to know the chances to improve the care of these patients. The researchers will look at the health information from adult men and women in Alberta who were diagnosed with T2DM before 2018 and visited a doctor to have check-ups in 2018. They will find out about how many of these people had CKD and how severe their CKD was. The researchers will collect data about the age and gender of these patients, how long they had T2DM and if they had other related medical problems. The researchers will also learn how these patients were treated based on their kidney condition and how much money was spent on these treatments. This study will collect information from the health records of about 270,000 patients with T2DM who were living in Alberta, Canada. This information will come from the Alberta Kidney Disease Network (AKDN) database. Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are planned in this study.
The study will have 2 independent parts: Part 1 of the study is intended to collect samples for Metabolites in Safety Testing (MIST) analysis after administration of multiple doses of zibotentan. Part 2 of the study is designed to evaluate the relative bioavailability of zibotentan and dapagliflozin after dosing with two different fixed-dose combination (FDC) formulations and dosing with separate formulations of zibotentan and dapagliflozin.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of inhibiting xanthine oxidase with allopurinol in patients with chronic kidney disease in asymptomatic hyperuricemia endothelial injury and vascular repair mechanisms.
