Filter by:Novo Nordisk is developing a new medicine, NNC0385-0434, to help people lower their cholesterol level. The aim of this study is to look at how NNC0385-0434 works in the body and how it is removed from the body in people with impaired kidney function. All participants will receive the same dose (100 mg) of the study medicine NNC0385-0434, which will be given for 10 days in a row. Participants will get the study medicine in a tablet taken orally once-daily. The study medicine needs to be taken in the morning after overnight fasting and 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. The study will last for about 9-14 weeks. Participants will have 15 visits to the study centre, including 2 in-house stays of 3 days and 2 nights and 13 ambulatory visits. Participants' vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature) will be measured, participants will have blood draws, urine will be collected and electrocardiograms (ECGs) will be recorded. Participants cannot take part in the study if they have gastrointestinal disorders or unusual meal habits and special dietary requirements. Women can only take part in the study if they cannot get pregnant.
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.
High blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia) is a major problem for people with kidney failure undergoing hemodialysis treatment. In order to reduce the risk of hyperkalemia, people with kidney failure are advised to limit or avoid high-potassium foods. However, high-potassium foods comprise many healthy food choices, including commonly consumed fruits and vegetables that are key sources of dietary fiber, and other important nutrients. Risk of hyperkalemia from dietary potassium intake is most notable in the first few hours after a meal when ingested potassium enters the bloodstream. In general, dietary potassium is very well absorbed. However, dietary fiber has been shown to increase the proportion of dietary potassium that is excreted in stool. Based on these findings, it has been proposed that fiber may help to lower the risk of hyperkalemia in people with kidney disease. It remains unclear whether dietary fiber increases potassium excretion in stool by reducing the absorption of dietary potassium, or by drawing body potassium into the bowels by increasing stool bulk. The distinction may be important, as reducing potassium absorption would be expected to be of greater benefit in preventing hyperkalemia caused by eating high-potassium foods. In this study, the investigators will assess whether a fiber supplement can reduce the effect of dietary potassium from orange juice on blood potassium levels in people with kidney disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis treatment.
A 9-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the effect of fixed dose ferric citrate versus placebo in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (eGFR ≤20 ml/min/1.73m2) on the composite endpoint of time to initiation of maintenance dialysis or all-cause mortality.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of once daily dosing of vadadustat for the treatment of pediatric participants with anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) naive to erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) treatment.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of once daily dosing of vadadustat for the treatment of pediatric participants with anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) after conversion from an Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agent (ESA).
The aims of this study are to: - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) survival of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) complication rate of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Analyze the intensity of pain perceived by the patient with each cannulation technique under study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nemolizumab compared to placebo at reducing the intensity of pruritus after a 12-week treatment period in adult hemodialysis participants with moderate to severe pruritus.
This study evaluates the clinical response (quality of life, nutritional status, functional capacity, and disease knowledge) of advanced CKD patients who undergo an individualized dietary intervention and a nutritional education program (group workshops) using motivation coaching techniques, compared to controls who receive general hygiene-nutritional education at every visit.
