Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of peginesatide for the maintenance of hemoglobin in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had received at least 24 weeks of peginesatide treatment in an earlier study.
We examine the prognosis and etiology of postoperative acute renal failure
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of efficacy between twice weekly and once weekly dose schedule of Dynepo in previously erythropoietin (EPO)-naive patients, as measured by haemoglobin at week 24 and secondly to demonstrate the non-inferiority of efficacy between once weekly and once every two weeks dose schedules of Dynepo in patients previously stable on EPO, as measured by Hb over Weeks 16 to 24.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) levels at normal or sub-normal levels with Epoetin Alfa can influence the health status, left ventricular mass and quality of life of early renal insufficiency subjects without additional safety concerns.
This is a 12-month, phase II, prospective, open label study, to evaluate the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) among patients on the kidney transplant list with high Panel of Reactive Antibody (PRA) levels. On average, increasing the PRA from 0 to 50% specifically in the Washington Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) increases the waiting time from 3 to 6 years. Spontaneous decreases in the PRA rarely occur and is associated with a decreased chance for transplantation and a decreased rate of survival.
This is a 12-month phase 2, prospective, open label study to evaluate the effect of rituximab with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)on the PRA of 14 highly sensitized patients who just completed an 8 month trial of MMF treatment alone. PRA values obtained at study enrollment and at 6 and 12 months on combined therapy as well as the rates of transplant will be compared and evaluated using descriptive analysis.
Some patients who undergo cardiovascular surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass will develop a kidney injury following their surgery. The purpose of this study is to take a blood sample from patients before they have this type of surgery and then at nine time points after their surgery to test their plasma for a biomarker called NGAL and compare the NGAL levels to their creatinine levels. We hypothesize that NGAL is an earlier marker for kidney injury than creatinine.
Eligible male and female subjects with renal impairment (aged 18-78 years) and healthy control subjects (aged 35 to 78 years) will be enrolled in the study. Subjects with renal impairment will be enrolled and entered into three groups based on their renal function: Mild Impairment, Moderate Impairment, and Severe Impairment(not requiring dialysis). Control subjects will have normal renal function. The screening visits will occur within 14 days prior to plerixafor administration on study day one. Subjects will be monitored for 10 hours following administration of the study drug. In addition, subjects will return to the clinic at 24 and 48 hours after plerixafor administration for blood samples and safety assessments.
The main purpose of this study is to compare how one 50 mg tablet of SB-497115 is broken down in the body by healthy subjects versus subjects with mild, moderate or severe kidney problems. The study is also being done to 1) check on how well the study drug is tolerated by healthy subjects versus those with liver problems and 2) to check if liver impairment affects how the study drug binds to protein in the blood.
The purposes are 1. to measure the effect of dialysis with glucose on blood pressure, pulse rate, plasma concentration of glucose, plasma concentrations of glucagon, growth hormone, renin, angiotensin II, endothelin and body temperature, and 2. to analysis the relationship between changes in blood pressure on the one hand and changes in vasoactive hormones on the other
