Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy (including durability) of up to 2 REACT injections given 3 months (+30 days) apart and delivered percutaneously into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys in participants with T2DM and CKD.
PREFERRED-1 is a pilot study for a large randomized, pragmatic, open-label, comparative-effectiveness trial. The pilot study will enroll at least 60 patients from at least 6 different hemodialysis centres in Ontario, Canada. Patients on outpatient maintenance hemodialysis at high risk of fragility fracture, will be randomized 1:1 to a denosumab care pathway vs. usual care
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of REGN5459 (Part A) or REGN5458 (Part B) as monotherapy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who need kidney transplantation and are highly sensitized to human leukocyte antigen (HLA). The secondary objectives of the study are to determine/assess the following for REGN5459 (Part A) or REGN5458 (Part B): - Dose regimen(s) that result in a clinically meaningful reduction of anti-HLA alloantibody levels - Effect on calculated panel-reactive antibody (cPRA) levels - Time to maximal and clinically meaningful reduction in anti-HLA alloantibody levels - Duration of the effect of study drug on the reduction of anti-HLA alloantibodies - Effect on circulating immunoglobulin (Ig) classes (isotypes) - Pharmacokinetics (PK) properties - Immunogenicity
The study will look at the impact of the potassium content in fruits and vegetables, on serum potassium concentrations in people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) using a randomized crossover design. Participants will receive home delivery of fruit and vegetables with either higher or lower potassium content in a random order. Clinical chemistry markers from blood and urine samples, blood pressure, physical functioning and health related quality of life will be assessed throughout the duration of the trial. This study will also measure their physical functioning, using a chair stand test. The results of this study could change the dietary recommendations for people with CKD related to potassium.
An adequate fiber intake is crucial for a well-balanced diet and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. However, nutritional recommendations for chronic kidney disease patients lead to an insufficient fiber intake with possible maladaptive effects on the gut microbiome. Therefore, we want to study the effects of a 35-day inulin supplementation on the gut microbiome, gut barrier function, bacterial metabolites and immune cell states in chronic kidney disease patients.
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-associated syndrome of variable severity, classically defined by the combination of hypertension and proteinuria in a previously non-hypertensive or proteinuric patient. These symptoms normally resolve within 2-3 months after delivery regardless of the severity of the pre-eclampsia. Regardless of its definition, preeclampsia is associated with an increased risk of obstetric events and, for the mother, an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the broad sense. The relationship between preeclampsia and Chronic Kidney Disease is, however, complex and not fully understood. Investigator proposes an interventional study to identify the diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease in patients who have developed an episode of Preeclampsia.
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the enzyme α-Gal A resulting from mutations affecting the GLA gene. It is characterized by severe multi-systemic involvement that leads to major organ failure and premature death in affected men and in some women. The α-Gal A deficiency results in progressive accumulation of un-degraded glycosphingolipids, predominantly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), within cell lysosomes throughout the body. In patients at the second or third decade, progressive proteinuria, decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and tubular damage occur usually, and renal failure develops in the fourth decade. Life-threatening renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular diseases are added in later decades. In addition to that, Fabry disease patient will eventually face end-stage renal disease (ESRD) which was the most common cause of death in Fabry patients before the development of dialysis and renal transplantation. Thus it is critical to identify Fabry patient as early as possible, before reaching the stage of ESRD. Additionally, early intervention of enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry Disease patient which will help the patient to preserve a better renal function and benefit from treatment outcome. Apart from that today there is only one study published from Turkey for Fabry disease screening in CKD patient where they have screened 1453 and found that the overall prevalence of Fabry disease in CKD patient was found to be 0.2% , 3/1453 (in which 0.4% in 656 male, 0.0% in 783 female). However, there was no information available within the Asia region thereby a very low Fabry disease awareness and diagnostic awareness among nephrologist in Taiwan. Therefore in the present study the investigators are aiming to investigate the prevalence of Fabry disease in the CKD population (CKD stage 1 ~ 5) by conducting the first and largest high risk screening prevalence study among 2,000 CKD patients over 3 years in Taiwan and the investigators hope by doing such a pilot study our data would contribute to a new paradigm of Fabry disease diagnosis in the Asia region.
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of increasing dietary consumption of a rich variety of fruits and vegetables (including those that are potassim-rich) in patients with chronic kidney disease through use of nutritional counselling and hyperkalemia management with patiromer
Conventional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is typically performed with extracellular gadolinium chelates, which is often limited in patients with CKD owing to the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Ferumoxytol, a novel contrast medium, can be used as an "off-label" contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. During the last decade, ferumoxytol has gained appeal as an MRI contrast agent in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rates <30mL/min and there are reports in the literature for its safe use and utility in both adult and pediatric patients with CKD. The study is designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in patients suspected of renal artery stenosis, investigate the correlation between renal cortical T2*(T2*=1/R2*) and renal function, and develop an automatic algorithms for renal vessel segmentation.
Kidney disease in its chronic or acute form shares many risk factors for initiation, progression and prognosis with an increase in morbidity and mortality, the length of hospitalization and the cost associated with stages of increasing severity. Its overall estimated prevalence in the general population is 13% and 0.5% from stage 4, for which referral to a nephrologist is recommended to reduce mortality, slow progression of renal disease and better prepare for treatment by renal replacement. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a sudden increase in serum creatinine (Scr) with a prognostic classification of increasing severity. The population with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often hospitalized and is frequently complicated by AKI, however CKD is asymptomatic for a long time, requiring structure screening in populations at risk. Performing Scr assays during hospitalization is an opportunity to screen patients with severe CRD or ARI requiring specialized treatment during and after hospitalization. A nephrological opinion is recommended for patients with severe CKD and AKI. Based on preliminary studies "MRC GARD" (NCT02938611) and "ARI TARGET" (NCT03192189), the study investigators identified the frequency of patients with increased Scr corresponding to stages ≥4 of CKD and to stage1b of ARI during their hospitalization. They found that 50% of patients hospitalized with a severe AKI had a CKD prior to their hospitalization. The use of dosages of Scr during hospitalization has been studied for AKI but without targeting high-risk subgroups and with discordant results. The study investigators plan to carry out a pragmatic study to show that an intervention combining alerts with Scr dosage to detect severe forms of CRD and AKI during hospitalization associated with the systematic intervention of a specialized dedicated team associating nephrologist and pharmacist to the scale of a GHT will improve patient and renal survival 1 year after screening.
