Filter by:The purpose of this study is to identify functional vascular changes and clinical factors correlated with the occurrence of short- or medium-term hand ischaemia after arteriovenous fistula creation.
This is a pragmatic, two-arm, parallel-group, open-label, individual-randomized, superiority trial that will be conducted in hemodialysis units across Ontario. Patients at each dialysis unit will be randomly allocated into one of two study arms in a 1:1 ratio to receive a dialysate bicarbonate concentration of either 32 or 38 mmol/L. The intervention will be embedded into routine care and delivered by hemodialysis unit personnel.
The multiFiltratePRO is a device for extracorporeal blood purification treatments. In this retrospective analysis, the treatments of patients who received at least one treatment with the investigational device as mentioned between January 2015 and January 2024 will be documented in a chronological order. No further control treatments will be investigated in this one-arm design. The design is considered to be appropriate to reflect daily clinical practice and to contribute to empirical evidence of performance of the multiFiltratePRO system.
Phase 1 basket trial including 2 open-label single-arm cohorts: REPAIR CKD cohort and REPAIR Dialysis cohort. Open label colchicine 0.3 mg daily for 8 weeks followed, in patients who tolerated the 0.3 mg dose, by forced titration to 0.6 mg daily for 8 weeks.
This is a 6-month prospective interventional clinical trial designed to evaluate the impact of whey protein isolate oral supplement on protein status. Differences in protein status will be evaluated with review of the medical chart from standard of care monthly blood collection for serum albumin, total protein, and normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR) as detected by serum urea nitrogen. Mid-arm circumference and weight will be measured to ensure no significant changes. Quality of life will be measured to detect if the addition of protein aided in overall quality of life. There will be a 3-month recruitment period prior to the start of the trial to ensure the potential participants are familiarized with the clinical trial. After the recruitment period has finished, eligible participants will sign the consent form in order to participate in the study. At this point, participants will be provided the supplements for the month and instructed with the amount of water and how to mix with the provided measuring and drinking cup.
The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of induction treatment with daratumumab-hyaluronidase (dara SC) with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-CyBorD) for four cycles in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have new onset renal failure. This study will also investigate the difference responses in African American (AA) patients versus non-African American patients. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: 1. To evaluate the very good partial response rate (VGPR) after 4 cycles of Dara-CyBord. 2. To evaluate the renal response rate (RRR) after 4 cycles of Dara-CyBord.
This research study is being conducted to collect information to improve the outcomes of patients who have renal failure and are scheduled to have a sleeve gastrectomy.
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.
More than 50% of patients with type 2 diabetes develop micro- and/or macrovascular complications during the course of the disease. Additionally, many patients at risk for diabetes develop metabolically driven complications including kidney and heart disease. Novel sub-phenotyping analysis identified clusters of risk for diabetes associated with different complications, mainly affecting the kidneys, opening opportunities to new therapeutic approaches, despite and in addition to lifestyle changes. So far, pharmacological therapy is not indicated for patients with prediabetes. SGLT2 inhibitors reduce progression of diabetic nephropathy and ischemic heart disease in patients with diabetes and high cardiovascular risk, in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and in individuals with advanced CKD. Yet, no prospective data are available in patients with prediabetes and beginning chronic kidney disease, reflected by normal or modestly reduced GFR and increased uACR (> 30mg/g, KDIGO G1A2 - G2A2). Subphenotyping of patients with newly onset diabetes suggests that for some individuals, it would be too late to start interventions against deteriorating renal function at the time of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, individuals at the highest risk to develop T2D and renal failure should receive preventive measures well before the diagnosis of T2D. This study will provide evidence whether such an early intervention contributes to the preservation of renal function in high-risk individuals who already have microalbuminuria. The studied population will comprise individuals who are likely to develop T2D and nephropathy but in clinical practice do not receive medical treatment due to the early stage of the disease. Thereese subjects will receive Dapagliflozin 10 mg or Placebo for two years. The placebo treatment arm reflects current practice. In order guarantee a benefit the patients in the placebo arm will receive a lifestyle intervention.
The purpose of this study is to map the population of stage 4 and 5 kidney failure patients followed in consultation by the CHSF nephrology team and to determine the factors associated with recurrent hospitalizations.
