Filter by:Hyperphosphatemia is a common and severe complication in chronic kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis. A phosphate restricted diet and oral phosphate binders are the cornerstones in the prevention and treatment of this complication. However, noncompliance is an prevalent problem resulting in poorly controled hyperphosphatemia in a substantial proportion of hemodialysis patients. The present study aims at identifying risk factors for non compliance and also test the hypothesis that compliance can be improved by education patients on the consequences of hyperphosphatemia and the importance of diet and phosphate binder therapy.
To evaluate the effect of PTH lowering on erythropoietin consumption in calcitriol-resistant patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease.
The purpose of the parent study is to assess the short-term safety and tolerability of soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP) in dialysate administered to a large number of representative adult chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis (CKD-HD). The purpose of the extension study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of SFP.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to to compare steady-state total growth hormone (GH) exposure in haemodialysis (HD) patients with that of matched healthy subjects.
This is a 24-week multi-center, double-blind, randomized, exploratory study of bardoxolone methyl treatment in 18 patients with Stage 3 CKD (eGFR greater than or equal to 30.0 to less than 60.0 ml/min/1.73m2) and diabetes to ensure at least 15 patients complete the study for evaluation of the primary endpoints.
It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate is safe and well tolerated and more effective than placebo (alternative hypothesis) in lowering serum potassium levels in subjects with serum potassium between 5 - 6.0 mmol/l versus no difference between zirconium silicate and placebo (null hypothesis). It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate even up to the top dose of 10g three times a day is well tolerated.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with CTP-499 for 24 weeks in patients with chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetic nephropathy and who are currently receiving treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and/or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).
This is a phase III, multi-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled, patient and investigator-blind study in paediatric patients with early stages of Alport syndrome to assess the safety and efficacy of the ACEi ramipril in slowing disease progression. Alport syndrome stages that describe the extent of renal damage and loss of function are defined as: - 0 Microhaematuria without microalbuminuria (usually at birth) - I Microalbuminuria (30-300 mg albumin/gCrea) - II Proteinuria >300 mg albumin/gCrea - III > 25% decline of normal renal function (creatinine clearance) - IV End stage renal failure (ESRF) Eligible patients with Alport stages 0 and I will be randomly assigned at a 2:1 ratio to receive once daily ramipril or placebo. In addition, Alport stage II patients may be treated open Label. Eligible patients who, or whose parents/legal guardian refuse randomisation after eligibility is confirmed, and patients who have been treated with ramipril prior to the study, may be treated open-label with ramipril as per protocol. The total number of patients will not exceed 120, with the number of randomised patients not exceeding 60, and the number of patients treated open label from Day 1 of the study aimed to be approximately 60. Randomised patients whose disease progresses to the next disease level during the 3 year treatment period will be unblinded, and open label ramipril treatment will be initiated and continued, respectively, depending on prior treatment randomisation.
Primary Objective: - To assess the tolerability and safety of repeated oral ascending doses of SAR407899A in patients with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) on stable angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitor (ACE-I) Secondary Objectives: - To assess in patients with moderate CKD the effect of concomitant multiple dose of SAR407899A and ACE-Is on office and 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate - The effect of repeated multiple doses of SAR407899A on the pharmacodynamic response to ACE-Is (AcSDKP) - The pharmacokinetic profile of repeated oral administration of SAR407899A during co-administration of ACE-Is
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether intradialytic exercise increases removal of waste products from blood, in comparison to the traditional prescription of increasing dialysis duration.
