Filter by:Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is under-recognized and under-treated in primary care offices and primary care physicians are generally not familiar with treatment guidelines. Even when diagnosed properly, as a chronic condition CKD is frequently associated with co-morbidities that make effective treatment difficult due to complexity of care. Availability of Clinical Decision Support (CDS) for CKD may help promote effective, evidence-based care, but evidence suggests that CDS alone may not be sufficient for quality improvement and other interventions such as CDS plus practice facilitation may be needed. Purpose: The project aims to: 1) assess the viability of CDS in implementing evidence-based guidelines for Primary Care Practices (PCPs) and 2) to develop evidence-based practice guidelines that PCPs may use to enhance the care they provide to a difficult to manage segment of the healthcare population. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial of point-of-care CDS plus full TRANSLATE model of practice change, versus CDS alone. The study aims to analyze differences in promoting evidence-based care in primary care practices. Thirty-six practices will be recruited for this study. Patient inclusion criteria: adult patients with estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) of <60 and >15ml/min/1.73m2 confirmed with repeat testing over three or more months. A process evaluation will be conducted between the CDS practices with facilitation and the CDS only practices to assess clinical outcomes of CKD progression and all-cause mortality. Lastly, a cost-effective analysis will compare the cost-to-benefit ratio of CDS alone to that of CDS plus TRANSLATE (i.e. practice facilitation) in relation to cost per quality adjusted years of life. This study is funded by NIH NIDDK under R01 mechanism starting on 07/01/2011 and ending on 06/30/2016.
The purpose of this study to conduct a pilot, randomized trial in stable HD patients to evaluate the effect of gradual, step-wise reduction of post-hemodialysis target weight, combined with diligent dietary sodium restriction and reduction in dialysate sodium exposure on hydration/volume status and blood pressure (BP) control.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate tirofiban concentration in the blood over a period of 24 hours after tirofiban administration. Subjects with varying degrees of renal insufficiency (i.e. kidney function) will be included in the study. Tirofiban is known to be cleared from the blood by the kidneys and so people with kidney problems clear tirofiban to a slower extent compared to people without kidney problems. By comparing the tirofiban concentration profile between subjects with healthy kidney function versus with impaired kidney function, a tirofiban dosing recommendation for subjects with impaired kidney function can be made. This is a non-randomized, single-center, open-label study. A single dose of tirofiban (25 µg/kg administered intravenously over a 3 min period) will be administered to subjects with normal renal function (>90 mL/min CrCl), moderate (30-59 mL/min CrCl), and severe (<30 mL/min CrCl) renal impairment with non-dialysis-dependent renal insufficiency
Aims: 1. To establish an electronic process for CKD anaemia management using monthly synchronized dosing of erythrocyte stimulating agents (ESA). 2. To compare this electronic process with "present anaemia management" in the traditional outpatient setting. 3. To monitor Hb targets and clinical endpoints of study groups to model a larger multicentre study focusing on these endpoints.
Primary Objective: To study the effect of mild, moderate and severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of SAR302503. Secondary Objective: To assess the tolerability of SAR302503 given as a single 300 mg dose in subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment and in matched subjects with normal renal function.
The main objective of the trial is to compare the pharmacokinetics of a 60 mg dose of cabozantinib in adult subjects with impaired renal function compared with healthy adult subjects. Another objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of cabozantinib in these adult subjects.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (ie, how the body affects the drug) and pharmacodynamics (ie, how the drug affects the body) of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) after administration of a single dose to non-diabetic volunteers with normal kidney function and non-diabetic volunteers with varying degrees of kidney impairment (including volunteers with end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis).
Study of eculizumab ability to correct the reperfusion injury of the kidney allograft.
Malnutrition is a frequent problem in critically ill patients that is associated with detrimental clinical outcomes. To provide adequate nutritional support, current studies focused mostly on the choice of delivery timing, formula selection and the route of administration, little attention was paid to malnutrition related to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). In fact, malnutrition is also a major consequence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and pancreatic damage is commonly observed in critically ill patients without prior pancreatic diseases. Hence, EPI associated malnutrition should be concerned due to the high prevalence of pancreatic damage in critically ill patients. The aims of this study is to evaluate the incidence of EPI in critically ill adult patients and explore its potential risk factors. Moreover, the efficacy of pancreatic enzyme supplementation therapy on malnutrition in ICU patients with specific clinical characteristics will be investigated.
This is a multi-center, open-labeled, non-comparative study to examine the safety and efficacy of ASP1585 for long-term dosing in chronic kidney disease patients with hyperphosphatemia not on dialysis.
