Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD). The kidneys filter extra water and waste out of the blood and make urine. CKD is a long-term, progressive, decrease in the kidneys' ability to filter the blood properly. High blood pressure makes it more likely that the CKD gets worse. The study treatment BAY3283142 is under development for treating CKD. It activates a protein called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) that generates cGMP - a molecule that relaxes blood vessels and is thought to have beneficial effects in CKD. The participants do not benefit from this study. However, the study will provide information on how to use BAY3283142 in subsequent studies in people with CKD. In previous studies, BAY3283142 was studied in participants with normal kidney function. As kidneys play a role in removal of drugs from the body, the degree of kidney function could influence the amount of BAY3283142 in the blood. Higher amounts may occur in people with reduced kidney function. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to learn how the study treatment BAY3283142 moves into, through, and out of the body in participants with mild to severe reduction of kidney function compared to matched participants with normal kidney function. To answer this, the researchers will compare: - the (average) total level of BAY3283142 in the blood (also called AUC). - the (average) highest level of BAY3283142 in the blood (also called cmax) between the different groups. Participants will be in one of four groups based on how much their kidney function is reduced (mild, moderate, severe, end stage kidney disease) or in the control group. All participants will take a single dose of BAY3283142 as tablet by mouth. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 4 weeks including an in-house stay of 6 days (with 5 overnight stays). In addition, a screening visit to the study site before the in-house stay is planned. During the study, the study team will: - check vital signs - do physical examinations - take blood and urine samples - examine heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having 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.
A Phase 4, 52 week, single arm, multicentre post marketing surveillance to evaluate the safety of Desidustat for the treatment of anemia in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
In this pilot clinical trial, the investigators will recruit and randomize 120 patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD/DM) stages 3 to 5 to a patient-centered and flexible Plant-Focused Nutrition in Diabetes (PLAFOND) diet with >2/3 plant-based sources, which will be compared with a standard-of-care CKD diet, which is usually a low-potassium and low-salt diet, over a 6-month period. Through this study, the investigators will determine whether the plant-focused diet intervention is feasible for patient adherence, whether this diet is safe by avoiding malnutrition, frailty, and high potassium or glucose blood levels, and whether patient reported outcomes are favorably impacted.
The chronic kidney disease is caused by renal structural and functional impairment for more than 3 months due to various causes, including normal and abnormal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), abnormal blood, urine, and imaging findings, or an unexplained decline in GFR (<60 ml/min). Recent years, the incidence of chronic kidney disease has increased year by year worldwide, the incidence of CKD is 8% to 16% in the world's total population. chronic kidney disease has become an important public health problem in China and even the world. Summarizing the basic and clinical studies at home and abroad, inflammatory factors such as inflammatory chemokines, cytokines, and reactive oxygen species interact with fibrosis factors such as mesangial cells, fibroblasts, and fibroblast activation, which are the root causes of the progression of CKD and the formation of tubular interstitial fibrosis and glomerular sclerosis and developing into end-stage renal disease. Current treatments for chronic kidney disease are very limited, and to be precise, there is currently no cure for chronic kidney disease, nor is there a proven way to improve the kidneys survive after acute kidney injury (AKI). The progression of the disease itself can only be delayed as much as possible by changing the diet, controlling related complications with oral medications (such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, nephropathy, etc.), and actively controlling blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in patients with diabetes. For patients with stage CKD5 and more severe, renal replacement therapy is recommended, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, but there are many complications in both dialysis methods, such as narrowing of the internal fistula, occlusion, catheter infection, peritonitis, etc. Kidney transplantation may be considered when economic conditions permit and there is a matching kidney source, but kidney transplant surgery is riskier. The above treatment methods have brought a heavy burden to patients and social medicine. In order to seek innovative and effective strategies to cultivate the limited regenerative capacity of the kidneys and reverse renal fibrosis, the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with tissue regenerative potential and immunomodulatory functions have brought new ideas and hopes for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.
This is a pilot intervention study to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored anti-inflammatory diet intervention in participants with chronic kidney disease.
For chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is a lack of unique and powerful platform for patient engagement, research studies and public health advocacy work. The National kidney Foundation (NKF) launched the first nationwide registry for people at all stages and types of CKD, including people on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients, called the NKF Patient Network (NKFPatientNetwork.org). The NKF Patient Network is a non-interventional research study which means participants will not have to take medications or do any additional tests to participate. They are simply asked to share some personal and health information, and their experiences with their disease through a secure portal. The Network also collaborates with health systems to obtain additional electronic health records (EHR) data. This unique combination of data collected will address the gap of individualized educational resources and will enhance clinical research, clinical care, and health policy decisions to be centered on the patient. The NKF Patient Network is all online and can be accessed any time of day at NKFPatientNetwork.org. Participation is voluntary and free.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. In people with CKD, the kidneys do not remove wastes and extra fluid from the blood as well as they should. High blood pressure makes it more likely that the CKD gets worse. The study treatment BAY3283142 is under development for treating CKD. It activates a protein called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) that generates cGMP - a molecule that relaxes blood vessels and is thought to have beneficial effects in CKD. The participants do not benefit from this study. However, the study will provide information on how to use BAY3283142 in subsequent studies in people with CKD. As many people with CKD do also suffer from high blood pressure, this study is done in people with mild to moderate high blood pressure to safeguard the use of BAY3283142 in people with CKD in later studies. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe different single and multiple doses of the study treatment BAY3283142 are compared to placebo in male and female participants (after menopause) with mild to moderate high blood pressure. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. To answer this, the researchers will compare the number of participants who have medical problems after taking BAY3283142 to those treated with placebo. Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take BAY3283142 or placebo as tablet once or twice a day. Patients will take one dose for 6 days and will then be switched to a higher dose for additional 6 days. In summary, three different dose combinations consisting of two different doses each will be tested. Participants will be in the study for up to 7 weeks, including 12 treatment days (6 per dose step). They will stay in-house for 17 days starting two days before intake of the study treatment. In addition, one visit before and one visit after the in-house phase to the study site is planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs - Take blood and urine samples - Examine the participants' heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG)
The information learned in these studies will help to inform doctors as to how to appropriately adjust doses of cannabidiol and tacrolimus in order to improve health outcomes and long-term treatment success for transplant recipients.
The KDOQI 2020 - Clinical practice guideline for nutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) -recommends protein restriction to reduce the risk of end-stage renal disease/death and improve quality of life, a low protein diet providing 0.55-0.60g dietary protein/ kg body weight/day is recommended. FLAVIS® is a product line of hypoprotein foods specially developed for the treatment of CKD.The use of low-protein foods may facilitate the achievement of nutritional goals in terms of protein intake and help patients to follow a low-protein diet.
