Filter by:This is an open-label, single dose study designed to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of ABT-493 and ABT-530 in subjects with either normal renal function or impaired renal function.
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a single oral dose of eleclazine and its metabolite, GS-623134, in participants with normal and impaired renal function. Participants in the healthy control group will be matched to participants with impaired renal function by age (± 5 years), gender, and body mass index (± 10%).
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) represents the bone histologic abnormalities resulting from loss of renal function. It starts early during the loss of kidney function and is seen in virtually all chronic end stage kidney disease patients on dialysis (CKD-5D). A major component of ROD is bone loss leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated osteoporosis. Debilitating hip fractures occur in patients with CKD at a rate 4.4 times higher than in the general population, with associated high costs, morbidity and an annual mortality of 64%. CKD osteoporosis is distinctly different from post-menopausal osteoporosis. Presently, no uniformly accepted CKD osteoporosis treatment protocol exists because of challenges related to racially specific bone turnover states. Therefore, most physicians are reluctant to treat this disorder despite the profound impact on health and quality of life, and its association with vascular calcifications. These vascular calcifications confer an increased risk for cardiovascular events which are the major cause of the over 20% annual mortality rate in CKD-5D patients. The goal of the proposed controlled randomized study is to test the concept that CKD osteoporosis can be successfully treated when treatment is individualized by patients' turnover status. The study will demonstrate that reversal of bone loss can be achieved by increasing bone formation in low turnover patients, and by reducing bone resorption in normal or high turnover patients. A second aim of this study is to provide new information whether these treatments will also retard progression of vascular calcifications. Blood tests measuring FGF23, indicators of Wnt pathway activity, bone resorption and formation will be followed to understand potential mechanisms and to evaluate their usefulness for prediction of changes in bone mass and vascular calcifications. CKD-5D patients with established osteoporosis will be enrolled into one of two treatment arms based on bone turnover status. Each arm will be adaptively randomized by race, age and gender into treatment or control groups. In the low turnover arm, teriparatide combined with cinacalcet will be given, and in the normal or high turnover arm, alendronate will be administered. Bone mineral density will be measured at baseline and after one year of treatment by quantitative computed tomography. Calcifications of the coronaries, aorta and heart valves will also be measured at the same times by multi-detector computed tomography. If this proof-of-concept study is successful, it will offer a heretofore unavailable treatment for osteoporosis in CKD-5D patients thus changing the prevailing clinical practice paradigm. This will provide immediate benefit to CKD patients by reducing fracture risk, bone pain, and cardiovascular risk, while greatly improving their quality of life. These improvements will also convey major socioeconomic benefits by decreasing the high associated treatment costs. The proposed study is highly relevant to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases' mission of disseminating science-based information to improve the health and quality of life for patients with endocrine, metabolic and kidney diseases.
This is a prospective single-arm open-labeled cohort study on dialysis patients of the conversion from Aranesp® to NESP® for the treatment of anemia. The primary outcome of the study is the haemoglobin level after conversion to NESP® after 6 months. Secondary outcomes include the variability in haemoglobin level, average weekly dose of erythropoietin, safety profile of NESP®, patients' subjective assessment of fatigue and injection pain after the conversion.
A Phase Ib, Open-Label, Single Arm Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Impact on Humoral Sensitization of SANGUINATE Infusion in Patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
This study is a Phase 1, open-label, parallel group, multiple dose study, in subjects over 18 years, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of one-hour intravenous infusion of MTP-131 administered for 7 consecutive days. Twenty-four subjects are planned to be enrolled into 4 cohorts of varying renal function, with each cohort consisting of 6 subjects.
Limiting brain death-induced organ injury through a systemic anti- inflammatory medical management should allow for improvement in the quality of transplanted organs, and as a result, clinical improvement in post-transplant outcomes represented by a decrease in the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) after transplantation. The specific aim is to evaluate the effect of C1INH (CINRYZE) as a donor pre-treatment strategy to decrease systemic inflammation and decrease the incidence of DGF in Expanded Criteria Donors (ECD), currently identified as donors with Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) greater than or equal to 60%.
Inflammation and oxidative stress are common findings in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) undergoing conservative treatment, in addition to being associated with atherosclerotic process, are related also to the progression of CKD. In this regard, resveratrol, a phenolic compound with recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, can play an important role in the control of metabolic disorders associated with CKD, since it can modulate the mechanisms involved in inflammation and oxidative stress cycle. Resveratrol is capable of promoting the activation of the transcription-related factor-2 nuclear factor erythroid factor 2 (Nrf2) , a nuclear factor with anti-inflammatory properties, and SIRT-1, a protein also associated with the reduction of inflammation. These two factors, in their turn, are able to inhibit / antagonize the activity of the nuclear factor κB (NF-kB), a transcription factor that participates in the inflammatory response. Although it is a promising treatment, there are no studies evaluating the effects of resveratrol supplementation in patients with CKD. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effects of resveratrol supplementation on inflammation and oxidative stress in patients undergoing conservative treatment of CKD.
Uremic pruritus is a clinically significant symptom which imposes heavy impact on the quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. In order to investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanism, the investigators designed a multiple centers, randomized, assessor- and participant-blind, controlled, cross-over clinical trial. This trial will be conducted at Taichung branch, Feng-yuan branch and the Eastern branch of CMUH.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the PK and safety profile of LEE011 following a single oral dose in adult subjects with various degrees of renal impairment compared to a matched group of healthy subjects with normal renal function.
