This is a multicenter prospective, longitudinal cohort study which will evaluate the predictive capacity of machine learning (ML) models for progression of CKD in eligible patients for a minimum of 12 months and potentially for up to 4 years.
This study is open to adults with a type of kidney disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764198 improves the health of the kidneys in people with FSGS. Three different doses of BI 764198 are tested in this study. Participants are put into 4 groups randomly, which means by chance. Three of the groups receive different doses of BI 764198 and one group receives placebo. Participants are in the study for about 4 months. For about 3 months, they take BI 764198 or placebo as capsules once a day. Placebo capsules look like BI 764198 capsules but do not contain any medicine. Participants visit the study site about 10 times. You can participate in this study from your home. In this case a research nurse will visit you for the study visits. Kidney health is assessed based on the analysis of urine samples, which participants collect at home. At the end of the study, the results are compared between the different groups. During the study, the doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
This is a two-armed, parallel-design, pre-/post-intervention assessment study. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial for ED GOAL on a cohort of 120 older adults with serious illness to collect patient-centered outcomes and determine preliminary efficacy on increasing advance care planning engagement (self-reported and/or in the electronic medical record) one month after leaving the emergency department. The investigators will also conduct qualitative interviews with participants of ED GOAL.
The purpose of this single-arm interventional study is to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of the Symplicity Spyral system in subjects treated with renal denervation. Additionally, long-term follow-up data will also be collected from eligible subjects previously treated in the SPYRAL PIVOTAL-SPYRAL HTN-OFF MED and SPYRAL HTN-ON MED studies.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat children who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is long-term kidney disease, and proteinuria, a condition in which a person´s kidneys leak protein into the urine. The kidneys filter waste and fluid from the blood to form urine. In children with CKD, the kidney´s filters do not work as well as they should. This can lead to accumulation of waste and fluid in the body and proteinuria. CKD can lead to other medical problems, such as high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Vice versa, hypertension and proteinuria can also contribute to worsening of CKD. Therefore, the treatment of CKD aims to control blood pressure and proteinuria. There are treatments available for doctors to prescribe to children with CKD and hypertension and/or proteinuria. These include "angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors" (ACEI) and "angiotensin receptor blockers" (ARB). Both ACEI and ARB can improve kidney function by helping the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) to work normally. The RAAS is a system that works with the kidneys to control blood pressure and the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the blood. In people with CKD, the RAAS is often too active, which can stop the kidneys from working properly and cause hypertension and proteinuria. However, ACEI or ARB treatment alone does not work for all patients with CKD as they only target the angiotensin part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The study treatment, finerenone, is expected to help control RAAS overactivation together with an ACEI or ARB. So, the researchers in this study want to learn more about whether finerenone given in addition to either an ACEI or ARB can help their kidney function. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about whether finerenone added to either ACEI or ARB can help reduce the amount of protein in the participants' urine more than a placebo. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. Participants will also continue to receive their other medications. To see how the treatment work, the doctors will take samples of the participants' urine to measure their protein levels before and during taking treatment and after their last treatment. In addition, blood samples will be taken to monitor kidney function, electrolytes and the amount of finerenone in the blood as well as for other tests. This study will include children with CKD and proteinuria aged from 6 months up to less than 18 years. The participants will take: - either finerenone or the placebo, in addition to - either ACEI or ARB, whichever they take as part of their normal treatment Two visits are required up to 104 days, to check whether a child can take part in the treatment phase of the study. If participants qualify for the treatment phase, they will then undergo treatment for about 180 days. During this time, they will visit the study site at least 7 times. During these visits, the participants will: - have their blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, height and weight measured - have blood and urine samples taken - have physical examinations - have their heart examined by an electrocardiogram and echocardiography (a sonogram of the heart) - answer questions about their medication and whether they have any adverse events , or have their parents or guardians answer - answer questions about how they are feeling, or have their parents or guardians answer - answer question about how they like the study medication, or have their parents or guardians answer The doctors will keep track of any adverse events. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. The doctors will check the participants' health about 30 days after the participants take their last treatment.
The SLEEP-BP-CKD Study has been designed to specifically test the following primary hypotheses: (i) Specific ABPM-derived parameters, in particular the asleep SBP mean and/or the sleep-time relative SBP decline, are significant prognostic markers of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. (ii) Changes during follow-up in specific ABPM-derived parameters, in particular the increase of the asleep SBP mean and/or decrease of the sleep-time relative SBP decline towards the non-dipper/riser 24h SBP pattern, are significant prognostic markers of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. A novelty of the SLEEP-BP-CKD Study is the incorporation of clinical-grade wearable digital technology to monitor both wake-time and sleep-time BP at home in a subgroup (up to 200) of the total sample; this procedure will provide added useful information to test the following additional hypotheses: (iii) The HBPM self-assessment procedure to obtain BP measurements both during wake-time and sleep-time spans provides reliable data to be used either individually or jointly with periodic ABPM as added potential prognostic marker of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. (iv) The sleep-time BP measurements obtained by HBPM self-assessment and their changes during follow-up are better correlated, compared with wake-time OBPM or wake-time HBPM, to eGFR and albuminuria (measured by the albumin/creatinine ratio) and their changes during follow-up, respectively. (v) The HBPM self-assessment procedure to obtain BP measurements both during wake-time and sleep-time spans increases patient adherence/compliance to prescribed treatment from baseline. The scheduled periodic patient BP assessments during follow-up with OBPM, HBPM, 48h ABPM, along with laboratory urine and blood test data will further allow evaluating and comparing the changes from baseline in all these clinically relevant variables as potential markers for risk of progression towards ESKD, all-cause mortality, and/or CVD morbidity.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to a variety of different diseases characterized by impairment of kidney structure and/or renal function. The prevalence of CKD in China is as high as 10.8%. With a population of more than 150 million, China has the largest number of CKD patients all over the world. People with CKD would not only progress to uremia and need renal replace treatment, it also significantly increases risk of cardiovascular disease than non-CKD population. It has created a heavy burden on people's health and national economy. There is an urgent need to establish an effective system for CKD prevention and control in China. Evidences from large sample cohort and real world based research are still rare. This study will provide good experience for reducing the occurrence and development of CKD.
The study is designed as a prospective randomized, controlled, double-blinded phase II trial to examine the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin, in comparison with placebo on cardiovascular outcome parameters in kidney failure patients undergoing replacement therapy with hemodialysis. The primary endpoint is the change (∆) in left ventricular mass indexed to body surface area (LVMi) from baseline to 6 months measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Null and alternative hypotheses: H0: There is no difference in the ∆ Left Ventricular Mass indexed to BSA after six months of treatment, comparing patients having received the SGLT2-Inhibitor Dapagliflozin versus placebo. H1: There is a difference in the ∆ Left Ventricular Mass indexed to BSA comparing patients having received the SGLT2-Inhibitor Dapagliflozin versus placebo.
