NCT ID: NCT06373913 Recruiting - Hyperlipidemias Clinical Trials

The Role of Proprotein-convertase-subtilisin/Kexin-type 9 in Kidney Damage in Nephrotic Syndrom

PCSK9
Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is characterized by gross proteinuria (>3.5 g/day), hypoalbuminaemia, edema and often hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is correlated with increased morbidity and mortality. The study aim is to investigate the role of the protein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) in hyperlipidemia of NS, which has been suggested to play an important role. This is done by testing the following hypotheses: 1. PCSK9 is increased in patients with NS and hyperlipidemia compared to kidney-healthy controls 2. The level of PCSK9 in plasma correlates to the degree of proteinuria. 3. PCSK9 i increased in the kidney tissue of patients with NS The study will compare plasma levels of PCSK9 in correlation with degree of protein in the urine between test persons with NS and kidney healthy controls. Furthermore the investigators will study the the degree of PCSK9 in the kidney in biopsies obtained from test persons with nephrotic syndrome and test persons without proteinuria.

NCT ID: NCT06325137 Recruiting - Nephrotic Syndrome Clinical Trials

Transcriptome Analysis in Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome: Steroid Responsiveness

Start date: March 16, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) affects the glomerular barrier by damaging the podocytes with foot process effacement, leading to a pathological increase of permeability and protein loss. INS classification is based on the clinical response to glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. When GCs treatment fails to induce remission in a four-six weeks course, patients are defined as affected with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). The whole transcriptome sequencing could consent the INS classification at onset, prior to glucocorticoids (GCs) treatment, allowing to reduction of unuseful GCs treatment. RNA sequencing technologies allow an extensive characterization of the transcriptomic profile and permit global changes in gene expression levels between different conditions such as active and remission of the disease. Of great interest is the research of a molecular biomarker to predict steroid resistance, a predictor that is not yet available. Among the candidate biomarkers, pharmacogenomic determinants are promising, even if available studies are still limited. Among these, some epigenetic factors have been previously suggested. Data obtained in animal models suggests that nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NOD-like receptor) pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome can be deregulated in a wide variety of glomerular diseases, including those causing INS. Another potential marker involved in steroid response is the long noncoding RNA GAS5. Data reported in the literature indicate that abnormal levels of GAS5 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) may alter steroid effectiveness in autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease. Preliminary findings show that the study of NLRP3 promoter methylation could be reduced in the blood of SRNS compared with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) patients. Moreover, unpublished encouraging results on the association between Growth Arrest Specific 5 (GAS5) expression and steroid response in INS in PBMCs were obtained in a preliminary study conducted on 8 patients with the first episode of INS. PBMCs were obtained and GAS5 gene expression was evaluated using TaqMan technology. Patients affected with SRNS presented significantly higher levels of GAS5 in comparison with the SSNS group. In PBMCs from SRNS patients, the GAS5 expression could reduce the availability for binding to GCs target genes of the activated GCs receptor and suppresses GC transcriptional activity.

NCT ID: NCT06325098 Recruiting - Nephrotic Syndrome Clinical Trials

Implementation of a Diagnostic Workflow for Personalized Diagnosis of Nephrotic Syndrome

Start date: January 26, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a clinical picture common to several diseases resulting from damage to podocytes and glomerular filtration barrier. Currently, there is limited consensus regarding the diagnostic pathway and management of the specific etiology. Some patients show complete response to first-line steroid therapy (steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, SSNS), especially in children and young adults. The prognosis of this group is generally favorable. In contrast, patients unresponsive to steroids (steroid-resistant NS, SRNS) frequently undergo immunosuppressive therapies, which are burdened with numerous side effects. Resistance to treatment is associated with a high likelihood of progression to chronic renal disease (CKD) and kidney failure (ESKD). Recent evidence suggests that immunological mechanisms (including permeabilizing factors) are involved in the pathogenesis of post-transplant NS recurrence and SSNS. Providing patients with NS with a correct diagnosis is the cornerstone of personalized medicine, reducing morbidity and side effects of therapies, ensuring their appropriate prescription, and slowing or preventing progression to ESKD.

NCT ID: NCT06162546 Recruiting - Proteinuria Clinical Trials

Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Nephrotic syndrome is the clinical phenotype of a heterogeneous group of glomerular diseases that may present with varying degrees of urinary protein loss (proteinuria), dysproteinemia in the blood, fluid retention and impaired renal function. The AustRian RESistanT NEPHROtic Syndrome Treatment Response RegIStry and Biobank (ARREST-NEPHROSIS) sets out to achieve the following goals, as typical categories of rare disease registries 1. Obtaining real world data on practice patterns and outcomes 2. Networking between affected patients, families, and clinicians. 3. Establish a patient base for facilitated recruitment in studies of drugs, medical devices, and products 4. Development of a Biobank to enable research of potential biomarkers and therapy or disease courses

NCT ID: NCT06161701 Recruiting - Nephrotic Syndrome Clinical Trials

Steroid Diabetes in Patients With Kidney Disease

Start date: January 10, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

If steroid diabetes is not recognized in time, it will cause irreversible damage to the body. Nephropathy patients are more likely to have steroid diabetes ,the incidence rate up to 25%,due to hypoalbuminemia, high-dose hormone and other reasons, so they need to be closely followed up, identified and intervened in time.

NCT ID: NCT06079788 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Nephrotic Syndrome in Children

Study of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone on Children With Frequent Relapse or Steroid-dependent Nephrotic Syndrome: a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized,Open-label Clinical Trial.

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary nephrotic syndrome accounts for approximately 90% of the total number of nephrotic syndrome in childhood and it is the most common glomerular disease in children. Although treatment with steroids is useful for primary nephrotic syndrome, proving to cause frequent relapse/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome after treatment and the usage of immunosuppressive agents has become a new choice for the treatment of such patients. This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized,open-label clinical trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of steroid combined with adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH) to children who with frequently relapsing or steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome, all we wish to obtain the proper drug choice and individualized treatment options for children with nephrotic syndrome.
