Filter by:The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate whether, in addition to standard of care, finerenone is superior to placebo in delaying the progression of kidney disease, as measured by the composite endpoint of time to first occurrence of kidney failure, a sustained decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death.
This study will investigate the function of the immune system in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to people with normal kidneys. The investigators will use standard vaccines - the seasonal flu vaccine and pneumococcal polysaccharide (Pneumovax) vaccine - to examine how the immune system responds to challenge. All subjects will receive these recommended vaccines as part of routine care. Blood and urine samples will be collected and tested at different time points to look at how the immune response develops to these vaccines and if there are any differences between people with CKD and those without. This will help us understand how CKD affects the function of the immune system.
A Phase II, Open-Label Safety and Efficacy Study of an Autologous Neo-Kidney Augment (NKA) in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease (RMTX-CL001). NKA is made from expanded autologous selected renal cells (SRC) obtained from the patient's kidney biopsy. All enrolled subjects will be treated with up to two injections of NKA at least 6 months apart.
The two doses of sodium bicarbonate being tested are 0.5 and 0.8 mEq/kg-lean body weight (LBW) per day. Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, may help prevent kidney failure in people with chronic kidney disease. However, the dose to prescribe in order to test this possibility in a clinical trial is uncertain. The BASE pilot clinical trial will help determine the best dose of sodium bicarbonate to prescribe in a future study that will test the long-term safety and efficacy of sodium bicarbonate as a treatment to preserve kidney function in individuals with chronic kidney disease.
Endothelial dysfunction one-year after transplantation mainly depends on transplant-associated factors and only marginally on reduced renal function. OBJETIVES Primary objective Estimate the contribution of renal dysfunction to endothelial dysfunction in two cohorts of patients, living kidney donors and their transplant recipients. Secondary objectives To evaluate in both cohorts of patients before and after nephrectomy/transplantation the evolution of the following parameters: 1. Renal function (iohexolGFR, proteinuria/microalbuminuria). 2. Blood pressure (24 h ambulatory blood pressure measurement) 3. Surrogate variables of subclinical atherosclerosis (carotid ultrasound, ankle-brachial index, pulse wave velocity). DESIGN Non-interventional, prospective, multicenter, longitudinal study of two cohorts: living kidney donors and their transplant recipients.
The objective of this study is to assess PK, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of ASP3325 and to assess PD, PK and safety of repeated oral doses of ASP3325 administered t.i.d. before or just after each meal
This is a prospective, multi-center, hospital-based observational study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in patients with stable coronar heart disease.
The purpose of the study is to prove equivalence of efficacy and safety of BCD-066 and Aranesp® in treatment of anemia in end-stage chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis.
Treatment protocol to see if people with hepatitis C (HCV) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are treated with Harvoni for 12 weeks have improvements in their kidney disease.
Vascular endothelial dysfunction increases cardiovascular (CV) risk and contributes to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists have been shown to improve endothelial function, as well as decrease CV mortality and proteinuria. The specific biochemical pathways that produce these pharmacological effects for MR antagonists, however, are poorly understood. This study investigates the effect of MR antagonism on endothelial function in patients with moderate (stage III) CKD using a randomized, controlled trial. Three specific aims are proposed: Aim 1: To determine if spironolactone improves endothelial function as compared to amiloride in patients with stage III CKD; Aim 2: To determine if oxidative stress is associated with changes in endothelial function by spironolactone compared to amiloride in patients with stage III CKD; and Aim 3: To determine if endothelial dysfunction contributes to albuminuria in patients with stage III CKD. The clinical relevance is to improve understanding of the mechanisms of kidney function decline in CKD in order to develop interventions to delay or prevent dialysis, which would translate into alleviating patient suffering, caregiver burden, and health care costs.
