Filter by:This study evaluates the role of advanced US technology in assessing renal transplants as screening tools such as 3D Ultrasound, Ultrasound SWE, and MFI besides current ultrasound conventional metheds.
The primary objective of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of apatinib in subjects with impaired renal function and healthy subjects, to give dose recommendations for patients with impaired renal function.
Chronic hemodialysis is often associated with a reduction in the quality of life of patients and a reduction in physical activity, due to the repeated frequency of sessions. Various studies conducted in hemodialysis patients have shown the beneficial effects of physical exercise during hemodialysis sessions on reducing cardiovascular risk, the number of hospitalizations and improving quality of life. It also contributes to improved patient adherence to care. Finally, it has been shown that exercise during the hemodialysis session is safe for the patient and does not disrupt dialysis parameters. Nevertheless, there are no data on the medico-economic impact of such a program. Based on the investigators' experience, the investigators have developed a specific protocol linking the different types of physical activity that have provided evidence of their efficiency and used in standard practice in the investigators' institutions. From tests and questionnaires assessing the physical abilities of patients have already validated for this population in this pathology. The objective of this project is to show the medico-economic interest of an adapted physical activity program for hemodialysis patients.
Belantamab mafodotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) containing humanized anti- B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) monoclonal antibody (mAb). Renal impairment is a major complication of multiple myeloma (MM) and the majority of MM participants is either at risk or already has renal dysfunction at initial diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of belantamab mafodotin monotherapy in participants with RRMM, who have had at least 3 lines of prior treatment (or at least 2 lines of prior treatment if ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation ) and have either normal or impaired renal functions. The study will consist of two parts: part 1 will include participants with normal/mildly impaired renal function and severe renal impairment and part 2 will include participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where participants are either not undergoing or require hemodialysis. Participants will be administered belantamab mafodotin at a dose of 2.5 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenously once in three weeks (Q3W) dosing in Part 1. Based on the Part 1 Safety/Pharmacokinetic (PK) data, Part 2 participants will be administered the dose of either 2.5 mg/kg or 1.9 mg/kg (or other adjusted dose). Participants will be treated with belantamab mafodotin monotherapy until confirmed disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of study, whichever occurs first. This study will include a screening phase, treatment phase, follow-up phase and a post analysis continued treatment (PACT) phase . The total duration of the study is approximately up to 48 months.
Tenofovir is a nucleotide analog drug that works against both Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HBV. TDF and TAF are prodrug of Tenofovir. TAF has a higher plasma stability than TDF, which makes TDF require a higher dose to get the concentration of drugs in the liver equal to the amount of TAF. Previous studies have shown the effects of TAF once daily and TDF once daily on kidney function and bone mass. The efficacy of TAF in virus suppression is comparable to TDF, but the effect on the kidneys and bone mass from TAF has less side effects than TDF. In addition, changing the medication from TDF to TAF shows that kidney function tends to improve. Hepatitis B patients taking TDF have adjusted their dosage due to impair renal function, for example, from 1 time per day to every 48 hours or every 72 hours. This group of patients does not have a clear evidence-based recommendation for choosing a reduced dose of TDF or change to TAF. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to study patients with hepatitis B who have taken TDF and have renal function impairment that have been adjusted. Taking the same medicine with dose adjustment or changing the drug to TAF which treatment will more improve the kidney function.
End stage renal disease cases has increased significantly in the last decade. There are various treatment modalities which are available for the ESRD patients. Treatment options includes haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and renal transplant. Renal transplant is considered as the best treatment for these patients. However, in developing countries like india feasibility of renal transplant is questionable due to the limited donors and logistic reasons. Therefore haemodialysis remains the most popular modality of treatment for such patients. Creation of vascular access is a necessary maneuver for hemodialysis but creation and maintenance of a well-functioning vascular access remains the most challenging problems for hemodialysis therapy There are various other reasons for the non maturation of arteriovenous fistula and these include increased age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, coronary artery disease, obesity, decreased diameter of the cephalic vein and radial artery, atherosclerosis, and surgeon factor. As per our literature search , these factors has not been well studied in Indian population. Hence the aim of the present study is to identify the various risk factors for the primary failure of forearm and wrist arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure in Indian population
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have several complications that are linked to oxidative stress and inflammation, and among the most recently studied is the alteration of the intestinal microbiota. Considering this scenario, bioactive compounds have been considered as a therapeutic alternative in the modulation of intestinal microbiota as well as transcription factors such as nuclear-kappa factor B (NF-κB) and factor 2 nuclear factor-related erythroid 2 Nrf2), involved with oxidative stress and inflammation. Among several foods, cranberry is a fruit rich in flavonoids and other polyphenols, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory actions and may be an adjuvant treatment for CKD complications. However, clinical evidence evaluating the effects of cranberry is limited and there are no studies specifically involving patients with CKD. Thus, the present randomized crossover double-blind crossover with placebo-controlled washout period will aim to evaluate the effects of cranberry supplementation on the modulation of the intestinal microbiota and expression of transcription factors as well as cytokine levels inflammatory effects of CKD patients.
Kidney failure can result from inflammatory renal disease in the context of autoimmunity because the kidney is targeted by host's immune response against self. There are many causes to this, but abnormal kidney function tests, i.e., BUN and creatinine, can reveal the disease. Oral delivery of kidney cells is ought to produce the immune tolerance - phenomenon is known as oral tolerance. Preliminary studies produced convincing evidence that this hypothesis holds true and has not produced any adverse side effects. Intended open label Phase II aims to confirm these findings.
An arteriovenous (AV) fistula is essential for patients with kidney failure on dialysis. There is no clear data on the best method to create a new brachial basilic AV fistula (BBAVF), so the choice between a single procedure and two separate procedures is left to the surgeon. Both approaches are standard care. This study aims to compare patient-centered outcomes and quality of life by randomly assigning patients needing a BBAVF to either a one-stage or two-stage procedure.
