Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tolvaptan in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in the real world clinical setting in Japan.
The objective of this study is to measure the influence of both short term water restriction and high water intake on total kidney volume, measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients.
This study will test the safety and efficacy of the Vessix Renal Denervation system in the reduction of pain in patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD).
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is associated with bone changes and very high fracture rates. A component of bone is marrow. Bone marrow fat is increased in patients with CKD compared to those in the normal population of the same age. It is not clear if there will be changes in the marrow fact content in those with CKD on Pioglitazone. In people with normal kidney function, thiazolidinedione group of drugs have had variable effects on bone marrow fat content, as measured by MRS. This is important as changes in marrow fat are likely related to changes in the bone in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Investigation of the therapeutic effects of tolvaptan in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease This is a prospective 5-year study to compare the change in total kidney volume (TKV) before and after tolvaptan therapy, as the primary endpoint, in patients with ADPKD. Study results will be summarized, analyzed, and compiled into a research paper at 5 years (data cut-off, Aug 31, 2020).
Funding Source - FDA OOPD Pioglitazone is currently used in clinical practice to treat diabetes and this study will examine the potential use of a low dose of the same drug for the treatment of polycystic kidney disease. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the diabetes drug pioglitazone (Actos) is a safe and effective treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease when treated in its early stages. Pioglitazone is approved by the FDA for the treatment of diabetes. Pre-clinical models of polycystic kidney disease have shown that low dose treatment with pioglitazone decreases the growth of the cysts. The studies also suggest that effective pioglitazone dosing for polycystic kidney disease may be lower than that used to treat diabetes. The purpose of this study is to see if pioglitazone might slow cyst disease in humans.
This study will test to see if metformin is safe and if it is tolerated compared to placebo in adult Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients with beginning stages of chronic kidney disease. We will also measure its effect on progression of kidney disease as reflected in the kidney size and the kidney function, along with its effect on kidney pain and quality of life.
Subjects who received tesevatinib in Study KD019-101 and completed 24 months of treatment will continue on the dose of tesevatinib they were receiving at 24 months on the KD019-101 study.
The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of niacinamide on markers of kidney injury, inflammation, kidney cyst growth and kidney function.
Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin receptor antagonist (V2R) that increases free water and sodium excretion. Inhibition of V2R increases vasopressin concentration in plasma, which stimulates V1-receptors in the vascular bed and may change both central and brachial hemodynamics and plasma concentration of vasoactive hormones. The purpose of the study is to measure the effects of tolvaptan on renal handling of water and sodium, systemic hemodynamics and vasoactive hormones at baseline and during nitric oxide (NO)-inhibition with L-NG-monomethyl-arginine (L-NMMA) in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
