Filter by:To evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of sparsentan oral suspension and tablets, and assess changes in proteinuria after once-daily dosing over 108 weeks.
Alport syndrome (AS) is caused by pathogenic variants in the type IV collagen genes COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. This study aims to enroll families and patients with a history of renal hematuria in 27 hospitals and detect these three genes for AS screening. This study also aims to analysis the effect of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 genotype on the development of kidney disease.
The AFFINITY Study is a phase 2, open-label, basket study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrasentan in patients with proteinuric glomerular disease who are at risk of progressive loss of renal function.
This extended access study will assess the long-term safety and tolerability of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who previously participated in one of the qualifying clinical studies with bardoxolone methyl. Patients will remain in the study until bardoxolone methyl is available through commercial channels or until patient withdrawal, whichever is sooner.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center study of the safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of RG-012 administered to subjects with Alport syndrome.
This international, multi-center, Phase 2/3 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with Alport syndrome. The Phase 2 portion of the trial will be open-label and enroll up to 30 patients. The Phase 3 portion of the trial will be double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled and will enroll up to 180 patients.
Primary Objectives: - To assess the efficacy of lademirsen (SAR339375) in reducing the decline in renal function. - To assess the safety and tolerability of lademirsen (SAR339375) in participants with Alport syndrome. Secondary Objectives: - To assess plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of the parent compound and its active major metabolite. - To assess the potential formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) following administration of lademirsen (SAR339375). - To assess the pharmacodynamic effect of lademirsen (SAR339375) on miR-21 and on changes in renal injury and function biomarkers.
The hereditary type IV collagen disease Alport syndrome inevitably leads to end-stage renal disease. Currently there are no therapies known to improve outcome. Our non-interventional, observational study investigates, if medications such as ACE-inhibitors can (1) delay time to dialysis and (2) improve life-expectancy within three generations of Alport-families in Europe.
The purpose of the study is to determine if there are certain laboratory tests that can be performed to detect substances or features in a child's urine that can be used to measure the progress of Alport kidney disease and the effects of treatment. These tests and their results could be of use to measure responses to new treatments in future clinical trials.
Over the past 30 years much has been learned about the molecular genetics and natural history of familial forms of hematuria. However, enhanced understanding of these conditions has yet to generate effective therapies for Alport syndrome(AS), the form of familial hematuria associated with end-stage renal disease. Males with AS inevitably develop end-stage kidney failure, with a 50% likelihood of dialysis or kidney transplantation by age 25 years. There is no proven treatment for AS, although studies in animals have suggested several promising potential therapies. Pharmacological or biological treatments that might delay or prevent the development of kidney failure exist, but need to be evaluated through clinical trials. Researchers interested in implementing clinical trials in AS will face several challenges, the foremost of which is the relative rarity of the disease, necessitating aggressive efforts to identify and recruit potential subjects for multi-center collaborative clinical trials. The Alport Syndrome Research Collaborative (ARC) was established in 2009 as a partnership of the Alport Syndrome Treatments and Outcomes Registry (ASTOR), the European Alport Registry and centers of AS research in Canada, China and France with the objective of testing potential treatments to delay or prevent terminal renal failure in people with AS. In this feasibility study the five ARC centers will interrogate existing AS registries and databases, and monitor accrual of new AS cases over an 18-month period, in order to quantify subjects in the disease categories of interest. As part of this project we will examine the utility of urinary uromodulin excretion as a marker of kidney injury and potential trial endpoint in AS clinical trials. Our goals are to (1) demonstrate that participating centers have access to sufficient numbers of males and females with AS to populate adequately-powered clinical trials focused on two clinical targets, microalbuminuria and overt proteinuria, and (2) to test the hypothesis that in males with AS urinary uromodulin excretion decreases as albuminuria and proteinuria increase and that uromodulin offers an independent and insightful measure of renal fibrosis and response to therapy.
