Filter by:To assess the effect of Aranesp on the hemoglobin (Hgb) of CRI subjects who are recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO)-naïve or converting from rHuEPO therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of a very low protein diet is effective in delaying the start of chronic dialysis treatment in patients affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of less frequent dosing of PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa) in patients with anemia due to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) as assessed by hemoglobin maintenance, adverse events and health-related quality of life.
Approximately 207 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis will be entered into this study at approximately 26 centers in the United States. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sevelamer carbonate powder dosed once-a-day (QD) with the largest meal compared to sevelamer hydrochloride tablets dosed three-times-per-day (TID) with meals. The total length of participation is approximately 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine wether Mesna could prevent contrast-induced nephropathy
Children with chronic kidney failure often do not grow well. This study examines the possible causes of growth failure in these children and the response to recombinant human growth hormone. The growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis will be studied in relation to biochemical and immunological parameters as well as body compositional changes pre- and post recombinant human growth hormone therapy.
This trial is conducted in Europe. Objective(s): To evaluate the effect of human growth hormone on infants aged 1 to 2 years with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) and growth retardation despite an adequate dietary intake. Trial Design: This is an open, parallel group clinical trial with a duration of one year, in which period 50% of patients will receive GH treatment and the other 50% will act as a control group, without treatment. Trial Population: The trial will involve a total of 16 infants aged from 12±3 to 24 months suffering chronic renal insufficiency (Glomerular Filtration Rate less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2), and growth failure and undergoing conservative treatment or peritoneal dialysis. Include the key inclusion and exclusion criteria.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Hectorol® (doxercalciferol) capsules in treating patients with Stage 3 or Stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) with secondary hyperparathyroidism who have vitamin D levels in the normal range. Previous studies with doxercalciferol were conducted in patients who had low levels of vitamin D.
This study is a multicenter, open-label, observational, postmarketing surveillance study that will collect information on the use of Genentech growth hormone (GH) preparations to treat children with CRI in the United States.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of an investigational drug in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (a specific type of diabetes) and Chronic Renal Insufficiency (inadequate kidney function).
