Polysaccharide super paramagnetic ferric oxide injection is an iron supplement developed for patients with iron deficiency anemia. Due to its characteristics, it has the potential to be a contrast agent. The DJTCSCYHT-I-04 study is a single-center, multiple-strength and single-dose phase I clinical study on cardiovascular MRI in patients with chronic kidney disease, aiming to investigate the effects and safety of multi-strength, single-dose at different time points, and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and MRI enhancement.
The objective of this study is to evaluate a group of patients with chronic kidney disease in stages 3-5 by conventional 2D echocardiography, tissue Doppler techniques and speckle tracking - LV GLS and determine the correlation of ultrasound parameters with mortality. Additionally, fibrosis-related biomarkers will be studied in this population.
Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of apixaban as stroke prophylaxis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 and atrial fibrillation (AF) with or without dialysis treatment. The study hypothesis is that compared to no anticoagulation, apixaban reduces the incidence of ischemic stroke without causing an unacceptable increase in fatal or intracranial bleeding events. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and major bleeding in people with CKD stage 5 and AF treated with apixaban compared to standard of care without anticoagulation. Trial design: Pragmatic Prospective Open Label Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial, phase 3b over 12-72 months. Trial population: 1000-1400 patients at ≈50 sites in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Poland Eligibility criteria: Adults ≥18 years with CKD stage 5 (ongoing treatment with any chronic dialysis treatment OR an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)* <20 ml/min/1.73 m2 at least twice 3 months apart of which at least one occasion is <15 ml/min/1.73 m2 due to CKD during the last 12 months) and a diagnosis of chronic, paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent AF or atrial flutter (AFL) with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2 for men or ≥3 or more for women as an indication for oral anticoagulation. The exclusion criteria are AF or AFL due to reversible causes, rheumatic mitral stenosis or moderate-to-severe non-rheumatic mitral stenosis at the time of inclusion into the study, a condition other than AF or AFL that requires chronic anticoagulation, contraindications for anticoagulation, active bleeding or serious bleeding within 3 months, planned for surgery within 3 months, and current use of strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein. Interventions: Randomization 1:1 to treatment with apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily and standard of care, or standard of care and no anticoagulation. Outcome measures: primary efficacy (time to first ischemic stroke); primary safety (the composite of time to first intracranial bleeding or fatal bleeding); secondary efficacy (time to all-cause mortality, time to cardiovascular event or cardiovascular death); secondary safety (time to first major bleeding according to International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) criteria)
A clinical study to investigate the absorption, metabolism and excretion of [14C] TQ-B3525 in Chinese adult male healthy subjects, aiming to quantitatively analyze the total radioactivity in the excreta of male healthy subjects after oral administration of [14C] TQ-B3525, obtain the data of human radioactive excretion rate and main drainage routes, investigate the distribution in whole blood and plasma, the distribution in plasma and the pharmacokinetics of total radioactivity in plasma, and identify the main metabolites, To determine the main biotransformation pathway and obtain the pharmacokinetic parameters of TQ-B3525 and its metabolites in plasma.
This study aims to investigate the etiology and associated risk factors for UTI in Egyptian chronic kidney disease patients. In addition, to identify the isolated micro-organisms and their sensitivity patterns for better anticipation of treatment regimen.
Despite the benefits of physical rehabilitation among adults and children with chronic illness, they avoid to engage in different physical activities especially pediatric population. Most of the children with Chronic kidney disease receive their medical treatment and follow-up with no change of their functional performance. We still lack the evidence of plyometric exercises in pediatric population with Chronic kidney disease . Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to explore the effects of strength and conditioning training in the form of plyometric exercises on balance and muscle strength in children with Chronic kidney disease .
Recent breakthroughs in medical genetics have discovered that a portion of kidney failure affecting the Black community is mediated by coding variants in a gene called apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) - and that genetic variants, not race - account for increased risk. For APOL1 genetic testing to be applied in a manner that improves patient care and outcomes, more information is needed regarding associations of genotype with clinical parameters related to kidney health. Further, understanding patient perceptions about knowledge of the results of APOL1 genetic testing, and how that impacts patient engagement with management of hypertension and other renal risk factors, is urgently needed. - In a Phase 1 pilot study, we offered APOL1 genetic testing to Black patients seen in our Hypertension and Nephrology clinics at Saint Louis University, an academic medical center that serves the local urban community, and surveyed patients on attitudes and concerns about APOL1 genetic testing. 144 participants were enrolled in Phase 1. - In the Phase 2 study, we will advance this important work in our community by offering participation to a broader patient base, including patients seen in Internal and Family Medicine clinics, SLU Hospital, as well as to first-degree relatives and spouses of SLUCare participants. This expansion seeks to advance understanding of environment-gene interactions, improve risk prediction, and target management of potentially modifiable risk factors.
The purpose of this study is to see if 6 months of home-based walking will improve memory, and brain structure and function, compared to health education in older adults that have chronic kidney disease and mild cognitive impairment.
To assess the efficacy of a 6-month lifestyle intervention in patients with CKD, we plan to conduct a self-controlled clinical trial. 120 participants with CKD stage 3-5 will be enrolled. In addition, 20 participants with CKD stages 1 and 2 respectively, and 20 healthy subjects will be recruited; they will receive physical fitness and immune function assessment once; no intervention will be given. The participants with 3-5 CKD will go through three phases: 3-month control, 6-month intervention, and 3-month maintenance. No intervention will be performed in the control and maintenance phases. The lifestyle intervention will comprise care from a multidisciplinary team, including a nephrologist, nurse practitioner, physiatrist, and dietitian. The exercise training component will offer two options for the participants to choose from. First, a two-week individualized and supervised center-based exercise intervention followed by 6 months of a home-based program with refresher visits once per month. The participant will be requested to wear a heart rate recorder during home exercise. Second, persistent in-hospital training 2~3 times weekly for 6 months. Cyclic aerobic and resistance training will be performed. Assessment will be performed every three months and 5 times in total, including cardiopulmonary exercise testing, isokinetic quadriceps strength testing, hand grip strength, body composition analysis, Chinese Kidney Disease and Quality of Life questionnaire, self-recorded physical activity, and Mini Nutritional Assessment. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a lifestyle intervention in patients with CKD on physical fitness, quality of life, and immunity. It is hypothesized that the lifestyle intervention will elicit a significant benefit in the aforementioned parameters and will last until the maintenance phase.
