Filter by:Alport syndrome (AS) is caused by pathogenic variants in the type IV collagen genes COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. This study aims to enroll families and patients with a history of renal hematuria in 27 hospitals and detect these three genes for AS screening. This study also aims to analysis the effect of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 genotype on the development of kidney disease.
This Phase 2 randomized controlled trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine in qualified patients with Alport syndrome. The trial will be open-label, randomized, controlled and will enroll up to 50 patients.
The AFFINITY Study is a phase 2, open-label, basket study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrasentan in patients with proteinuric glomerular disease who are at risk of progressive loss of renal function.
This extended access study will assess the long-term safety and tolerability of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who previously participated in one of the qualifying clinical studies with bardoxolone methyl. Patients will remain in the study until bardoxolone methyl is available through commercial channels or until patient withdrawal, whichever is sooner.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center study of the safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of RG-012 administered to subjects with Alport syndrome.
This international, multi-center, Phase 2/3 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with Alport syndrome. The Phase 2 portion of the trial will be open-label and enroll up to 30 patients. The Phase 3 portion of the trial will be double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled and will enroll up to 180 patients.
Primary Objectives: - To assess the efficacy of lademirsen (SAR339375) in reducing the decline in renal function. - To assess the safety and tolerability of lademirsen (SAR339375) in participants with Alport syndrome. Secondary Objectives: - To assess plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of the parent compound and its active major metabolite. - To assess the potential formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) following administration of lademirsen (SAR339375). - To assess the pharmacodynamic effect of lademirsen (SAR339375) on miR-21 and on changes in renal injury and function biomarkers.
International, multicenter, observational, longitudinal monitoring study to identify biomarker/s for Alport syndrome and to explore the clinical robustness, specificity, and long-term variability of these biomarker/s
The hereditary type IV collagen disease Alport syndrome inevitably leads to end-stage renal disease. Currently there are no therapies known to improve outcome. Our non-interventional, observational study investigates, if medications such as ACE-inhibitors can (1) delay time to dialysis and (2) improve life-expectancy within three generations of Alport-families in Europe.
