Filter by:This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of the BI 10773 in type 2 diabetic patients with renal impairment in order to provide these data for approval for BI 10773 as an antidiabetic agent by regulatory authorities.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of donor simvastatin treatment on ischemia-reperfusion injury after heart transplantation.
Kidney transplantation from living donors has been shown to carry many benefits over deceased donor transplantation. Because of benefits such as shorter waiting times and improved outcome for transplant recipients, living kidney donation accounts for an increasing number of kidney transplants nationwide. Most published studies about living kidney donation demonstrate that the procedure is safe, but they also emphasize concerns that long-term data on live donor outcomes are insufficient. In particular, data concerning the extent of renal function decline after donation are inadequate. This study will measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in previous living donors and aims to more accurately describe renal function after kidney donation.
The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and the safety of fimasartan in renal impairment patients and healthy volunteers.
Background: - Genetic variation in a particular chromosome is a major contributor to the increased risk for kidney disease that is common in people of African descent, although the specific gene, mutations, and other aspects of the variations remain to be determined. By studying the outcomes of kidney transplant in donors and recipients of African descent, researchers hope to better understand the effects of this genetic variation on the success of kidney transplants. Objectives: - To examine possible connections between genetic variations and kidney transplant outcomes for donors and recipients. Eligibility: - Participants in kidney transplant where both donor and recipient were of black African descent. - Eligible transplants include both living donor and deceased donor. Design: - The study will involve one visit of up to 8 hours. - All participants will provide a detailed personal and family medical history. - All participants will provide blood and urine samples, including a 24-hour urine collection, to test kidney function and collect material for genetic testing. - Donor participants will also have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of their remaining kidney.
The study will investigate the impact of reduced renal function on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of LEO 27847. Volunteers with different degrees of renal impairment will be administered one dose of the investigational drug and then followed until investigational drug is eliminated from the body.
The utilization of clinical decision support (CDS) is increasing among healthcare facilities which have implemented computerized physician order entry or electronic medical records. Formal prospective evaluation of CDS implementations occurs rarely, and misuse or flaws in system design are often unrecognized. Retrospective review can identify failures but is too late to make critical corrections or initiate redesign efforts. A real-time surveillance dashboard for high-alert medications integrates externalized CDS interactions with relevant medication ordering, administration, and therapeutic monitoring data. The surveillance view of the dashboard displays all currently admitted, eligible patients and provides brief demographics with triggering order, laboratory, and CDS failure data to allow prioritization of high-risk scenarios. The patient detail view displays a detailed timeline of orders, order administrations, laboratory values, and CDS interactions for an individual patient and allows users to understand provider actions and patient condition changes occurring in conjunction with CDS failures. Clinical pharmacists' use of the dashboard for patient monitoring and intervention aims to increase the rate and timeliness of intercepted medication errors compared to CPOE-based CDS in the setting of acute kidney injury, which affects patients at various points across all hospital units and services and has numerous opportunities for intervention.
The objective of the study was evaluate the effect of administration of midodrine and albumin on renal function in patients with cirrhosis and creatinine greater than 1,2mg/dl.
This is a single-center, open-label, single-dose evaluation of 1 mg UT-15C SR pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in subjects with normal, mild, moderate and end stage renal disease (ESRD; on dialysis). Subjects in the ESRD group will receive 2 doses of UT-15C SR, separated by 14 days. One dose will be given 4 hours prior to dialysis, the other dose will be given at the end of dialysis. Pharmacokinetic samples will be taken immediately prior to dosing and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 hours post dose. Additionally, subjects with ESRD will have a sample taken at 60 hrs post dose.
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open label, single dose study. A total of 30 subjects are planned (5 groups of 6 subjects each.)
