Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fimasartan in patients with hypertensive diabetic chronic kidney disease.
Background: Poor flow (PF) and catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) are highly prevalent among CKD 5D patients with long-term central venous catheters. Heparin (H) catheter lock solutions are commonly used to maintain catheter patency, however PF and CRBSI incidence remains high. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two lock solutions on reduction of PF and CRBSI: one, a lock solution combining of the tetracycline antibiotic minocycline with the anticoagulant/chelation agent EDTA (M-EDTA) versus H; and other, trisodium citrate (C) versus H. M-EDTA and C were also evaluated as to their safety versus H. Methods:As regards the pilot project, thirty CKD 5D patients on high-efficiency hemodialysis (blood flow rate = 350 ml/min) at the Integrated Centre of Nephrology (Guarulhos, Brazil) were randomized 1:1:1 to receive M-EDTA, C or H locks for 15 weeks. Lock solutions concentrations were M-EDTA 30 mg/ml/3 mg/ml, C 30% (C) and H 1,000 U/ml and both investigators and patients were blinded to treatment allocation. The primary end-point was a 10% reduction in HD blood flow rates (35ml). The frequency of CRBSI was recorded. Bleeding and lock solution-related adverse events were the primary safety end points. Logistic Regression was performed to evaluate differences in PF rates among the treatments (SPSS version 13.0, IBM, USA). Based upon the pilot-study data, the clinical trials has being executed in order to verify whether the three lock solutions have the same performance or not.
The goal of this study is to test whether a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, compared with a sulfonylurea, improves time in normal blood glucose range and reduces blood glucose variability. Blood glucose is measured using a continuous glucose monitoring device.
This study is not intended to treat anemia of chronic kidney disease but to determine the safety of the study drug, LY3113593. The study will also evaluate how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream, how long it takes the body to remove the study drug, and what effect the study drug has on the body. The study consists of up to three parts. Participants may only enroll in one part. Participants will receive up to four injections of LY3113593 or placebo into a vein. The study will last up to about 26 weeks including screening and follow-up.
This non-interventional, observational study investigates the efficacy, safety and usability of methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin beta in participants on peritoneal dialysis. Participants who were prescribed methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin beta by their doctor and who meet the selection criteria were to be enrolled and documented in this study for a period of 9 months of treatment with methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin beta with respect to efficacy, safety and usability.
ICD-Pieces (Parkland Intelligent e-Coordination and Evaluation System) trial is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Healthcare Systems(HCS) Collaboratory demonstration project to improve management of patients with a triad of Chronic Kidney Disease, hypertension and diabetes with Pieces in four HCS including Parkland, Texas Health Resources (THR), ProHealth Physicians Incorporation and North Texas VA. Pieces is a decision support technology platform created by Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation(PCCI). The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that a collaborative model of primary care and subspecialty care intervention enhanced by Pieces and practice facilitators compared to standard clinical practice will reduce all-cause hospitalizations in patients with coexisting chronic kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension. Secondary objectives are: a)Test if implementation of the collaborative model will reduce 30-day readmissions, emergency room visits, cardiovascular events or deaths and disease-specific hospitalizations; b) Develop and validate risk predictive models for disease-specific hospitalizations, all-cause hospitalizations, 30-day readmissions, emergency room visits, cardiovascular events and deaths for patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension. c) Collect demographic and clinical data to assist phenotyping patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension. d) Obtain safety data including Acute Kidney Injury, progression of chronic kidney disease, electrolyte disturbances and medication errors, and drug toxicity; e) Collect resource utilization information including hospitalizations, emergency room visits, outpatient visits, and diagnostic or therapeutic procedures completed. Candidate patients in selected clinics will be enrolled over a period of 2 years and followed for 12 months. Pieces will ascertain both primary and secondary outcomes from the Electronic Health Record supported with data from the Dallas Fort Worth Hospital Council (DFWHC), Accountable Care Organization (ACO) reports and VA database, and deaths from Social Security Index (SSI) data.
Study to evaluate the effect of lapatinib, a breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of JTZ-951 and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of JTZ-951 when administered alone and one hour after the administration of lapatinib.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of two novel interventions; (1) a value-based formulary which eliminates copayment for selected high-value medications (proven to prevent heart attacks, stroke, and hospitalizations); and (2) a comprehensive patient education program aimed at lifestyle modification and optimal drug use, combined with relay of information on medication use, on the risk of adverse clinical outcomes (mortality, heart attack, stroke, need for coronary revascularization, and chronic disease related hospitalizations) in low-income seniors with chronic conditions over three years of follow-up or until March 31, 2021 (whichever comes first).
This trial will compare two effective therapies, allopurinol and febuxostat, to lower serum uric acid and therefore prevent further gout attacks. These therapies have never been compared at appropriate doses. Further, they will be studied in patients with kidney disease for the first time.
The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of running a phase III double-blind, double-dummy randomised controlled trial comparing Depo-Medrone 120mg intramuscular injection vs. Anakinra 100mg subcutaneous injection for 5 days for the treatment of acute gout attacks in patients with chronic kidney disease as defined by a eGFR < 60mls/min/1.73m2 and ≥ 30mls/min/1.73m2.
