Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to find out the safety and effectiveness of a new medical device called H-Guard. During this research study, participants will receive the standard of care haemodialysis treatment, as decided by the treating doctor. Participants will be observed during 5-6 haemodialysis treatments throughout the course of the study. The only change to the treatment process, will be the use of the medical device (H-Guard) to prime the dialysis system, before one of the treatments. Participants will have various blood tests taken throughout the course of the study for safety and research analysis.
With regard to the fields of competence of advanced practice defined by the Order of October 22, 2021 amending the Order of July 18, 2018 on the system of studies for the State diploma of advanced practice nurse mentioning renal disease, dialysis and renal transplantation (MRDT) and the latest recommendations of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) of July 1 2021 on the monitoring of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), the Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) has its place in improving practices and the care pathway of patients suffering from end-stage chronic renal failure (CKD). In the literature, there are a number of studies arguing the benefits of advanced practice nurse follow-up with patients suffering from chronic renal failure (CKD) in terms of improving their psycho-social and self-care skills. However, few studies, particularly in France, demonstrate its role in the coordination of care. By virtue of their training, advanced practice nurse with an disease, dialysis and renal transplantation (MRDT) specialization acquire skills in managing pretransplant assessment files and in planning the creation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which enable them to be autonomous and relevant professionals in the coordination of these processes. This is why it seems appropriate to look at the added value that advanced nursing practice can bring to the follow-up of these patients.
The primary objective for this study is to assess safety and performance of the Kronos Electrocautery Device for electrocautery procedures following coaxial biopsy procedures on areas that include, but are not limited to, liver, kidney, lungs, breasts, soft tissue, etc.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the major Nitazoxanide (NTZ) active metabolite in adult participants with renal impairment and healthy adults.
Renal insufficiency is common in participants with blood cancers. The main objective of this study is to evaluate adverse events and movement of oral venetoclax tablets through the body of female participants with severe normal renal function and those with end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis. Venetoclax is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of various hematologic malignancies. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Approximately 12 female participants between 18 and 75 years, with Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 to 42 kg/m2 will be enrolled in approximately 4 sites across the world. Participants with normal renal function will receive single dose of oral venetoclax tablet. Participants with ESRD will receive oral venetoclax tablets just prior to hemodialysis (Period 1 Day 1) and between dialysis days (Period 2 Day 1), doses in the two periods will be separated by at least 7 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood and urine tests, checking for side effects.
Given the high recurrence of urolithiasis in patients, the search for less aggressive and preventive treatments is increasingly necessary. Renalof® is presented as an alternative to herbal medicine being a product that, due to its diuretic and demineralization properties of kidney stones, has been widely used in this patient population, disintegrating and eliminating calcium oxalate and struvite stones in a painless in the genitourinary system. With the objective of determining the efficacy of this therapy, an observational, prospective, randomized, single-blind, two-arm study was carried out: treatment group with Renalof® and control group, placebo.
Vascular calcification is the leading cause of death in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) in hemodialysis. The protein matrix Gla vitamin K dependent (MGP) is a potent inhibitor of the vascular calcification. Objective: To evaluate the effect of vitamin K2 on vascular calcification in patients on hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind study will be performed. The study subjects will be divided into a control (1000 µl of saline) or treated group (1000 µl containing 2000 µg of Vitamin K2). Vitamin K2 will be administered three times a week intravenously at the end of each dialysis session. Blood samples for biochemical determinations and vascular calcification will be assessed before and after 6 months of treatment through carotid Doppler ultrasound.
This is a two-arm, open-label, randomized, phase 2, controlled center study to assess the safety and efficacy of Viusid and Asbrip in patients with mild to moderate symptoms of respiratory disease caused by 2019 coronavirus infection. Patients will be randomized to receive daily doses of 30 ml of Viusid and 10 ml of Asbrip every 8 hours or standard care. Viusid and Asbrip will be administered orally. A total of 60 subjects will be randomized 2: 1 in this study. 40 patients will be assigned to Viusid plus Asbrip plus standard of care and 20 control patients with standard of care. Treatment duration: 21 days.
The postoperative pain after open nephrectomy remains a major concern because some patients still demonstrate acute pain that may develop chronic pain that lasts for months following the surgery. Epidural analgesia is the gold standard for abdominal surgery including for open nephrectomy, however, it has unfavorable side effects such as paresthesia, hypotension, hematomas, an impaired motor of lower limbs and urinary retention that could delay recovery. Various techniques have tried to replicate the analgesic efficacy of epidural analgesia. They include transversus abdominis plane analgesia (TAP), rectus sheath analgesia (RS), wound infusion analgesia (WI) and transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) analgesia. However, each of these techniques has specific limitations that prevent them from being the analgesic technique of choice for all open abdominal surgeries. Up to the investigator's knowledge, there is no study done to compare ESPB versus QLB as pre-emptive analgesia in patients undergoing open nephrectomy.
