NCT ID: NCT05970172 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Disease

A Study of Roxadustat to Treat Anemia in Children and Teenagers With Chronic Kidney Disease

Start date: January 16, 2024
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Roxadustat is a licensed medicine to treat anemia in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Anemia is a low level of red blood cells. Current treatment for anemia is to have injections of medicines called erythropoietin stimulating agents (also known as ESAs) to help the bone marrow make more red blood cells. These are often given together with iron. This treatment is also available to children and teenagers with CKD. However, there are some safety concerns with ESAs. Also, as roxadustat is taken orally, this may be another option for treating anemia in children and teenagers with CKD. In this study, children and teenagers with CKD and anemia will take roxadustat for up to 52 weeks to treat their anemia. The main aim of the study is to learn how roxadustat affects anemia in children and teenagers with CKD. This is an open-label study which means the children and teenagers in the study and the clinic staff know they will be taking roxadustat. In this study, the children and teenagers with CKD who need treatment for anemia can take part. Those currently being treated with an ESA will be switched to roxadustat. Those who have not been treated with an ESA can start on roxadustat straight away. All children and teenagers in the study will take roxadustat 3 times a week for up to 52 weeks (1 year). They will start on a fixed dose of roxadustat for 4 weeks. Blood samples will be taken regularly to check hemoglobin levels. The roxadustat dose may be changed if the blood levels of hemoglobin are too high, too low, or change too quickly. After 4 weeks the dose may be changed, if needed, to keep blood levels of hemoglobin in the blood to just below the normal range. Firstly, teenagers will take roxadustat. 10 teenagers will take their fixed dose of roxadustat for 4 weeks. They will give blood samples to help the researchers work out the most suitable dose for the rest of the teenagers in the study. When the rest of the teenagers start taking roxadustat at the most suitable dose for teenagers, 10 children will take roxadustat for 4 weeks. These 10 children will give blood samples to help the researchers work out the most suitable dose for the rest of the children in the study. Then, the rest of the children will take roxadustat at the most suitable dose for children. There will be many clinic visits during the study. Overnight hospital stays are not expected. There will be 1 visit every 2 weeks for the first 4 weeks of taking roxadustat, then every 4 weeks until the end of treatment. Finally there is 1 visit 4 weeks after treatment has finished. During most visits, the children and teenagers will have their vital signs checked (blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate). Fluid status (how much water is in the body) will also be checked for those who need dialysis. The children and teenagers will also have blood tests and the study doctors will check for any medical problems. The children and teenagers will have a medical examination before their first dose of roxadustat and again at about 24-week (6-month) and 52-week (13-month) visits. They will have an electrocardiogram (ECG) before their first dose of roxadustat and again at the 12-week, 24-week, 36-week, and 52-week visit. They will also have urine tests at the 4-week, 24-week and 52-week visits. At the 52-week visit, the children and teenagers will also have blood tests for hemoglobin and iron levels. The study doctors will also check for any medical problems.

NCT ID: NCT05970081 Recruiting - Refractory Pain Clinical Trials

Effectiveness and Safety of Implantable Intrathecal Systems for Refractory Pain in Spain (INTRATHECAL-RENASED)

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Refractory pain is a prevalent condition that negatively affects patients' quality of life. Intrathecal implantable systems have been proposed as a treatment option for refractory pain. However, real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of these therapies in Spain are scarce. This study aims to obtain real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of intrathecal implantable systems for refractory pain treatment in Spain.

NCT ID: NCT05968222 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Whole Body Vibration and Diabetes Type 2

WBV
Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Diabetes generates a great impact on society, as well as a concern for health professionals due to its high and increasing prevalence; there are more and more studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of vibration platforms and their benefits at a physiological level. The objective is to analyze the decrease in glycosylated hemoglobin and glycemia levels after the use of whole body vibration platforms and the possible inclusion of this therapeutic option within the usual treatments.The sample will be composed of people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Plasencia area (Cáceres, Extremadura). Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group using a randomization list and will follow the inclusion criteria: healthy type 2 diabetics between 50 and 60 years of age and not taking diabetes medication. All participants will undergo a determination of glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, lipid profile, weight and height, and different functional tests such as TUG, 10MMT, 5STS. The experimental group will perform a full body vibration intervention on an oscillating platform for 12 weeks with a weekly frequency of 3 non-consecutive days and a duration of 12 minutes. The exercises will consist of 60 seconds of work and 60 seconds with rest. The control group will carry out their normal life insisting on the importance of glycemic controls before and after their daily physical exercise.

NCT ID: NCT05967351 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

A Long-term Follow-up Study of Participants Who Received Delandistrogene Moxeparvovec (SRP-9001) in a Previous Clinical Study

EXPEDITION
Start date: September 27, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to provide a single clinical study with a uniform approach to monitoring long-term safety and efficacy in participants who received delandistrogene moxeparvovec in a previous clinical study. No study drug will be administered as part of this study. Pre-infusion baseline will be defined as the timepoint just prior to infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. Each participant will be followed for a minimum of 5 years post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study. The duration of participation in this study is dependent on the length of follow-up the participant completed post-infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec from a previous clinical study.

NCT ID: NCT05966961 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Surgical Site Infection

Novosyn® CHD vs Polyglactin 910 Suture to Close Wounds After Emergency or Elective Laparotomy or Laparoscopic Surgery

POLYNOVO-CHD
Start date: September 18, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The aim of the study is to elucidate, if the colonization of bacteria is lower on the Novosyn® CHD suture compared to uncoated Polyglactin 910 suture, which will be assessed by the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI: A1 and A2). The results of this registry will generate further clinical evidence for the use and the benefit of a Chlorhexidine coated suture used to close the wound after an emergency or elective laparoscopic or laparotomy surgery. The benefit for individual patients lies in the early diagnosis of complications and in the optimized postoperative controls of a clinical study.
