Filter by:Study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TAS-102 in patients with advanced solid tumors and varying degrees of renal impairment.
The purpose of the SERENADE trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sarpogrelate in patients with CKD or DM after DES implantation.
The purpose of the study is to obtain performance data on the Asahi ViE-21 dialyzer (ViE-21) .
This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-dose study to compare the PK of 21 desacetyl-DFZ and, if data permits, deflazacort in 8 subjects with ESRD to that of 8 healthy matched control subjects (age, body mass index [BMI], and gender).
The purpose of this study is to validate in comparison to a reference method (inuline) two novel non-radioactive biomarkers for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement in chronic-kidney disease (CKD) patients and in healthy volunteers: Calcium-EDTA and Gd-DOTA.
The present study will examine the effects of liraglutide treatment during 26 weeks on several cardiovascular risk factors in patients with prediabetes and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of the treatment on glucose tolerance evaluated during a 3h 75g-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Secondary objectives include various clinical and biochemical cardiovascular and safety parameters. We hypothesise that treatment with liraglutide can improve glucose tolerance in prediabetic patients with ESRD by normalizing plasma glucose excursions during an OGTT and ameliorate other cardiovascular risk factors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate which home dialysis modality pattern (home hemodialysis [HHD], peritoneal dialysis [PD] or a combination of both, e.g. PD and then HHD) allows for the longest home dialysis survival, as defined by the time dialysed in a home environment. The investigators hypothesize that patients transferred from one home modality to another will have a longer home dialysis survival compared to patients treated only with PD or HHD.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of evolocumab after a single 140 mg subcutaneous (SC) dose in aduts with normal renal function or severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis.
As the resolution of the Brazilian Federal Council of Nursing (COFEN) sizing the framework of nursing professionals is essential to ensure the safety and quality of patient care. To achieve such goals actions are needed to evaluate the variety of tasks and performance specific to each area in nursing profession. The National Agency for Health Surveillance (ANVISA), through Board Resolution (RDC-154) determines that the nurse to patient ratio is 1 to 30 in hemodialysis and 1 to 50 on peritoneal dialysis, however these targets are not based on any evidence, and same apply to other Latin-American countries. Objective: To determine the appropriate nurse: patient ratio for peritoneal dialysis unit. Method: This research will be developed in two phases. The first with an observational design with descriptive and qualitative approach. There will be a focus group with experts in the field, to defined the activities and responsibilities of the peritoneal dialysis nurse, and produce a tool with a list of activities. A time-orientated score will be created. In the second stage a cross-sectional quantitative approach will be used. To apply the instrument from by direct observation of activities performed by nurses during their workday. With the instrument activities will be timed and the overall time of each nursing activity will be determined by multiplying the time spent by the total number of patients. It is expected tat this strategy will increase time on treatment and/or decrease dropout rates, by developing an easy test/ formula application to determine the correct ratio according to the peritoneal dialysis program. This tool will provide better outcomes for patients as well as allow for growth of peritoneal dialysis programs with qualified assistance and patient safety.
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) has been recognized as the third most common cause of hospital acquired AKI, after hypotension-associated hypo-perfusion and post-operative AKI. The development of CI-AKI after cardiac catheterization is associated with a significant increase in both short-term and long-term mortality and morbidities, as well as an increase in length of stay and cost. The only marker of renal function that has predictive ability is creatinine and it has significant limitations in identifying patients who will develop AKI. Therefore, a diagnostic test for predicting CI-AKI risk would have widespread clinical utility. The primary purpose of this study is to measure the association between baseline expression of senescence markers in blood using SenesceTest and the occurrence of CI-AKI post cardiac catheterization.
