This study will build a population management system Simultaneous risk factor control using Telehealth to slOw Progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease STOP-DKD Application STOP-DKD APP and conduct a 6-month controlled trial to compare reduction of blood pressure. In addition, the study will evaluate the feasibility of future large-scale intervention to slow diabetic kidney disease (DKD) DKD progression. Aim 1: Identify patients with moderate DKD and uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) using existing electronic health record data in an integrated data warehouse (Southeastern Diabetes Initiative- SEDI) to screen all patients within SEDI. Aim 2: Implement an intervention designed to slow progression of DKD and treat associated conditions in a high-risk population with moderate DKD and uncontrolled HTN using the STOP-DKD APP - Primary Outcome: Test the hypothesis that patients who receive the intervention will have greater improvements in blood pressure as compared to a control group after 6 months - Secondary Outcomes: Exploratory analyses to determine whether patients who receive the intervention will have less progression (defined as a smaller decrease in kidney function), and improved behaviors that affect HTN control and cardiovascular risk (medication adherence, diet, physical activity, and weight control) as compared to a control group after 6 months Aim 3: Evaluate the STOP-DKD APP Study to guide large-scale implementation & dissemination - Impact Evaluation: Assess the potential population impact of our intervention using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework - Economic Evaluation: Conduct an economic evaluation using the Archimedes Model by estimating projected costs and quality-adjusted life-years
Based on preclinical and small-sized studies in non-diabetic individuals, incretin-based therapies, i.e. glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, may hold promise in preventing the onset and progression of diabetic kidney disease. However, the potential renoprotective effects of these agents, that are believed to be effectuated "beyond glucose control", have not been sufficiently detailed in human diabetes. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the mechanistic and clinical effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on renal physiology and biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes. Forty patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes will undergo an eight week intervention with lixisenatide or insulin glulisine in order to assess changes in the outcome parameters.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing worldwide, suggesting that 45% of diabetics are undiagnosed. DM induces a kidney disease called diabetic nephropathy (DN) which is the largest single cause of end-stage renal disease and dialysis requirement. In South America the prevalence of DM and chronic kidney disease has increased, and great disparity exists among countries in regards to access to the dialysis treatment. It has been considerate that Hispanic origin increases the risk for DM. The South Americans have distinctive habits, culture, environment, behavior and genetic background and the factors involved in DN have not been defined yet. The early kidney lesions such as neoangiogenesis (pathologic generation of the new blood vessels) and extracellular matrix expansion have been described. The vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF) has been linked to angiogenesis, but the role of VEGF in DN has not been elucidated yet. VEGF signals mainly through VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2). VEGFR2 interacts with alphaV beta3 integrin (AVB3) in kidney. Additionally tenascin C is expressed in the extracellular matrix. Tenascin C and the tenascin C/AVB3 complex have also been linked to angiogenesis, however their roles have not been unveiled yet in the DN. Investigators hypothesize that VEGF signaling and tenascin C play an important role in DN and that VEGFR2, AVB3 and tenascin C interact. The purposes of this study is to characterize social, environmental and biological factors implicated in the DN in Ecuador and define the role of VEGF signaling and tenascin C in the pathogenesis of the DN. Investigators propose to study factors involved in DN in diabetic and non-diabetic adults from general population, with and without DN. In a single time investigators will evaluate demographics data, habits, personal and family history through a survey. Investigators will measure anthropometrics parameters and blood pressure; investigators will quantify blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c and proteinuria. In addition investigators will examine the role of tenascin C and VEGF signaling by analyzing paraffin embedded kidney tissue, plasma and urine samples. Characterizing the factors involved in the DN from Hispanic people is key to establish adequate strategies of prevention, diagnosis and treatment in this population. Furthermore elucidating the role of proteins involved in DN may offer valuable tools for the development of new treatments.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of selonsertib (formerly GS-4997) on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in participants with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Participants will be randomized with a 1:1:1:1 allocation to receive 1 of 3 doses of selonsertib (2 mg, 6 mg, or 18 mg) or matching placebo.
In this quality improvement program (DKD-TMT), patients will be recruited from multiple sites across Asia, with each site recruiting at least 300 type 2 diabetic patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). After explanation by trained doctors and nurses, and with written informed consent, patients will be randomized to the UC (n=100, usual care) group, the EC (n=100, empowered care) group, or the TEC (n=100, team-based, empowered care) group. Patients in all 3 groups will undergo a comprehensive assessment (CA) guided by the templates in the Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) portal at baseline and at month 12. They will also self-administer a set of questionnaires for assessing quality of life and psychological distress during the CA at both time points. During the 12 months between the 2 CAs: - Patients in the UC group will receive UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution. - Patients in the EC group will receive a JADE summary report with personalized risk prediction, treatment targets and decision support with explanation from the doctor and nurse. In addition to receiving UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution, the nurse will telephone the patient 3-monthly to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns. - Patients in the TEC group will be followed by a doctor-nurse team at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets, but tailored to patients' risk profile. The patients will receive telephone reminders and also be given a JADE follow up report 3-monthly. The primary composite endpoint is attainment of treatment goals and/or control of risk factors. The secondary composite endpoint is all-diabetes related clinical endpoints. The tertiary changes are behavioral changes, psychological well-being and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral Pyridorin 300 mg BID in reducing the rate of progression of nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is chronic and often progresses to kidney failure,heart disease and premature death. Unfortunately, the best medical therapies available for DKD today are ultimately unable to prevent its progression, especially in obese patients.Surgical rerouting of food within the gut with a gastric bypass operation (RYGB), improves diabetes and some of its complications. The investigators propose to investigate whether RYGB in combination with best medical therapy in patients with DKD and obesity prevent further deterioration of kidney function over a 3 years follow up period. Study design: This is an international collaboration with leading centres in Sweden and Switzerland in which100 obese type 2 diabetic patients with established DKD will volunteer to be randomly assigned to receive best medical therapy with RYGB or best medical therapy without surgery. Participants will be 18-65 years with type 2 diabetes and impaired kidney function. Yearly measurements of kidney function will then be done over a period of 3 years as a primary outcome to determine whether differences in DKD can be detectable. The study will also examine and compare a) safety of the interventions, b) the health economic impact on direct healthcare costs and Quality of Life in patients as well as c) the value of a new marker of DKD in determining which patients are most likely to benefit from surgery. Overall the study will strengthen the evidence base guiding clinical decisions about the usefulness of RYGB as an add on therapy to best medical therapy in stopping progressive DKD in patients with obesity and diabetes.

Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is becoming a global health concern that affects largely the elderly population. Despite advances in pharmacological and management strategies, DKD remain associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients living with such chronic disease, are expected, on daily basis to manage their self-care activities. Patients' non-adherence to the treatment is thought to be the major cause for the poor control and the occurrence of complications. Previous researchers have shown that multidisciplinary management of chronic disease can improve patients' self-care and outcomes. However, none of these programs was centered on self-care and targeted patients with DKD. A multidisciplinary self-care management program could improve the outcomes of patients with DKD, and delay the progression of the disease. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a multidisciplinary self-care management program on self-care behavior, quality of life, medication adherence, glycemic control and renal function, in adults with DKD. The study will use a cross-over design. 32 adult with DKD, will be randomly recruited from the Vaud University Medical Center, nephrology department and will be enrolled in the program for 12 month. All variables will be measured at baseline, three, six, nine and 12 month. We will measure the patients' self-care behavior, quality of life, adherence to the anti-hypertensive medication taking using, the Revised Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities questionnaire, the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of life questionnaire and the Medication Events Monitoring System. We will assess the patients' glycemic control by measuring the glycated hemoglobin and the renal function by measuring the serum creatinine and the microalbumin creatinine ratio. The study will clearly show if a multidisciplinary self-care management program will improve the health outcomes of patients with DKD and will allow us to recommend the establishment of such a program.
