Filter by:This is a Phase 3 Study of Etelcalcetide in Pediatric Subjects With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis
This is a pilot study to test the utility of an integrated approach in the management of the anemia of chronic kidney disease through the administration of both an erythropoietic stimulating agent and iron. Subjects will be studied for 6 months during which all iron dosing will be recommended using a computer based tool using model predictive control. Comparisons will be made to the 6 months prior to enrollment in to the study.
This is prospective cohort study with the purpose of improving our understanding of morbidity and mortality risk in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
Kidney disease patients have a variety of bone disorders that result in bone loss and fractures. The mechanisms of these bone disorders are not clear but may be related to abnormal modification of a bone protein known as collagen. Therefore, the investigators are conducting this research study to identify underlying mechanisms that are responsible for the disruption of bone collagen and determining whether the abnormal bone collagen impairs bone strength. The investigators intend to identify these mechanisms through studying relationships between kidney disease and bone strength via bone imaging, bone biopsy and non-invasive measures from blood and skin.
A home-based exercise program will be implemented in three different groups of participants: advanced chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease in substitutive treatment hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Participants will be evaluated before the program, after 3 months and after 6 months from the starting of the program. During the first 3 months the researcher will phone them weekly to reinforce the exercise habit, and during the last three months, there will be no reinforcement. Assessment will include strength, functional capacity, health-related quality of life and depressive symptoms.
Primary Objectives: To evaluate the safety (compared to iron sucrose) and efficacy of ferumoxytol in pediatric CKD subjects with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or who are at risk of development of IDA Secondary Objective: To determine the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profile of ferumoxytol in pediatric subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a ketoanalogue supplemented very low protein diet on eGFR decline in chronic kidney disease compared to a low protein diet (0.6 g/kg, LPD) or no protein restriction.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3 dose levels of oral CR845 compared to placebo in reducing the intensity of itch in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with moderate-to-severe pruritus. This study will consist of a Screening Period, a 7-day Run-in Period, a 12 week Treatment Period, and a Follow-up Visit (approximately 7 days after the last dose of study drug).
The APOLLO study is being done in an attempt to improve outcomes after kidney transplantation and to improve the safety of living kidney donation based upon variation in the apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1). Genes control what is inherited from a family, such as eye color or blood type. Variation in APOL1 can cause kidney disease. African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Hispanic Blacks, and Africans are more likely to have the APOL1 gene variants that cause kidney disease. APOLLO will test DNA from kidney donors and recipients of kidney transplants for APOL1 to determine effects on kidney transplant-related outcomes.
Isolated nocturnal hypertension (INH) has been studied among the general population and hypertensive patients. However, little insight is available on the prognostic effect of INH in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study investigated the prognostic effect of INH in a cohort of Chinese patients with nondialysis CKD.
