Filter by:The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of colestilan (MCI-196) in paediatric subjects (aged 2 years to <18 years) with CKD stages 3b to 5, diagnosed with hyperphosphataemia, who are not on dialysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of anemia correction and vitamin D supplementation in kidney transplant recipients.
To demonstrate that cyclosporine-sparing immunosuppressions with the standard dose of Enteric-Coated Mycophenolate Sodium would preserve renal graft function after transplantation without an increase of incidences of adverse events, such as biopsy confirmed acute rejection, local or systemic infections, and bone marrow suppression.
The Primary Objectives of this study are to assess the long-term efficacy of treatment with colestilan (MCI-196) (including combination therapy) and to assess the long-term safety of treatment with colestilan (MCI-196) (including combination therapy).
The Primary Objective of this study is to determine the initial starting doses of colestilan (MCI-196) in paediatric subjects with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 on Dialysis and with Hyperphosphataemia.
Estimation of hydration state in dialysis patients is a major challenge in clinical practice. Although many methods have been studied, none have been established yet for clinical routine practice. The investigators have developed a method, using segmental and calf bioimpedance spectroscopy (cBIS) techniques to measure body hydration. The device we used based on the FDA-approved Hydra 4200 (Xitron Technologies, San Diego, CA). The Hydra 4200 was initially developed to measure whole body and segmental body fluid volumes but Hydra is approved only for measuring healthy subjects. The cBIS monitors hydration state by continuously measuring change in resistance and resistivity in the calf during hemodialysis (HD) or it can be used for simple measurement before, during and after dialysis. Preliminary results in clinical studies have shown that optimal hydration state of HD patients may be determined by the calf method. This study aims to compare the Hydra 4200 to two other devices: the FDA approved ZOE (100 kHz) Fluid Status Monitor (Noninvasive Medical Technologies, Inc, Las Vegas) and a modified version ZOE 5 kHz. The modified ZOE monitor (ZOE (5 kHz)) delivers frequency of 5 kHz and 0.8 mA current instead of 100 kHz and 2 mA. The subjects of this study include a group of hemodialysis patients and a group of healthy controls. The healthy controls are used to identify a normal range within the healthy population for each method. Each hemodialysis patient will be studied twice in different hydration state. The study will not change the procedure of the patient's dialysis treatment. Since all devices are based on noninvasive bioimpedance technique, this study has minimal risk.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of patiromer (investigational drug) in the treatment of hyperkalemia (high serum potassium). The study also evaluated the effect of withdrawing patiromer treatment and assessed whether chronic treatment with patiromer prevented the recurrence of hyperkalemia. The safety of patiromer treatment was also evaluated.
To assess a new drug, BAY94-8862, given orally at different doses, to evaluate whether it was safe and can help the well-being of patients with worsening chronic heart failure and either type II diabetes with or without chronic kidney disease or kidney disease alone. These treatment doses were compared to eplerenone, another marketed drug approved to treat heart failure.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK following a single administration of BPS804 in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5D (CKD-5D) on hemodialysis.
Objective: To show that the frequency of aldosterone breakthrough is lower when RAS blockers are given at bedtime compared to on awaking, and to analyze the determinants and consequences of aldosterone breakthrough. Duration of the study: Inclusion 2 years, follow-up one year, total 3 years Design: prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open label, two parallel groups. Main selection criteria: Inclusion criteria - Chronic kidney disease stage 3 to 4, - ACEI (captopril, enalapril, or ramipril), and/or ARB (losartan, valsartan, or irbesartan) on awaking for at least three months, - History of hypertension or proteinuria > 0,5 g/24h or g/g créatininurie. Exclusion criteria - Office blood pressure ≥ 160/100 mmHg, - Anti-aldosterone (spironolactone, eplerenone) or potassium sparing diuretics (modamide, amiloride), or direct renin inhibitor. Evaluation criteria: Primary: Serum aldosterone levels at one year. Secondary: - Serum aldosterone/renin ratio, - 24h urine aldosterone, - Significant aldosterone breakthrough defined by a >10% increase of serum aldosterone levels over baseline values, - Aldosterone breakthrough defined by an increase of serum aldosterone levels over baseline values, - HbA1c, - Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) on spot morning urine samples, - Systolic home blood pressure (SBP), - Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the MDRD equation.
