Filter by:The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the safety and effectiveness of Zemplar® (paricalcitol) injection and paricalcitol capsules in real-life clinical practice. Participants, who have been treated with paricalcitol in-label in an everyday setting, have been included into this study. A period of 12 months has been chosen in order to also obtain experience on the maintenance dose and treatment optimization with paricalcitol injection and paricalcitol capsules in long-term use.
The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the use of Zemplar (paricalcitol) capsules in real-life clinical practice in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of febuxostat, once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID), on renal function in gout patients with elevated serum urate levels and who have moderate to severe renal impairment.
The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the long term use, safety and efficacy of Zemplar as it is prescribed in the normal clinical setting and according to the approved Summary of Product Characteristics for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients in Greece.
Patients are admitted to the critical care unit of the hospital because of medical conditions that have a high likelihood of causing severe problems with blood flow, breathing, or brain function. These conditions also have a high likelihood of causing death. Approximately 10 to 15% of all critically ill patients die in hospital. A large amount of scientific evidence suggests that a substantial proportion of these deaths is due to a combination of blot clotting and inflammation in the blood vessels. Statins are drugs that interfere with cholesterol and fat metabolism. Cholesterol and fat in the blood are associated with blood clotting and inflammation in the blood vessels. Statins are known to be very beneficial in improving the survival after heart attacks, and in preventing heart attacks. The question that VASTVALUS asks is: do statins improve survival among all critically ill patients? In VASTVALUS, we will concentrate on patients that do not currently require a statin because of their medical condition e.g. after a heart attack, but we are concerned with the rest of the critically ill. In VASTVALUS, participating patients will receive either atorvastatin 80 mg daily or a placebo. Atorvastatin is a statin with a well-established record of safety and effectiveness. A placebo has no known medical activity. We will follow all patients in VASTVALUS to determine whether atorvastatin has any effect on the occurrence of death, stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure among the critically ill. Results from VASTVALUS will be shared with the medical community after the study is completed. As with all clinical trials, patients in VASTVALUS participate of their own choice, and can change their mind at any time.
The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the safety of a selective cytopheretic device (SCD) in patients that are on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for acute renal failure (ARF).
The study hypothesis is that 6 weeks of repetitive handgrip exercise will improve endothelial function and venous compliance in pre-dialysis patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than or equal to 20 ml/min. If proven correct then arm exercise might be useful to improve the success rate for a surgically created arteriovenous fistula in the forearm to become usable as a vascular access for hemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 different doses of canagliflozin compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have reduced kidney function.
This study will investigate whether the plasma concentration-time profile and pharmacokinetics (PK) of suvorexant (MK-4305) in participants with impaired renal function are similar to those observed in healthy participants; and will evaluate the safety and tolerability of suvorexant both in participants with impaired renal function and in healthy participants.
This is a multi-center, open-labeled study to examine the non-inferiority of ASP1585 to sevelamer hydrochloride in chronic kidney disease patients with hyperphosphatemia on hemodialysis.
