Filter by:The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: - Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat a medical condition. - Audit treatments and outcomes. An audit makes checks to see if what should be done is being done and asks if it could be done better. - Further the development of future treatments. Participants will be invited to participate on clinical trials and other studies. The registry has the capacity to feedback relevant information to patients and in conjunction with Patient Knows Best (Home - Patients Know Best), allows patients to provide information themselves, including their own reported quality of life and outcome measures.
This study is designed as a long-term extension to Study APL2-C3G-310, and is being conducted to establish the long-term safety and efficacy of pegcetacoplan in patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) or immune-complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN).
This is a Phase 3 study to assess the efficacy and safety of twice-weekly subcutaneous (SC) doses of pegcetacoplan compared to placebo in patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) or immune-complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) on the basis of a reduction in proteinuria.
This is an Early Access Program (EAP) which will provide access to pegcetacoplan for eligible participants with C3G and Primary IC-MPGN.
The aim of this cross-over trial is to assess aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, as a novel treatment to block complement activation in the kidneys and thereby attenuate renal disease and stabilize or improve kidney function and compare it to the currently used treatment with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril, in patients with the complement-mediated renal disease C3 glomerulopathy. Patients will be randomized to one or the other treatment for the first 6 months and then switch to the other treament for the following 2.5 years. Treatment will continue for altogether 3 years for each patient.
Functional and quantitative renal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has seen a number of recent advances, and techniques are now available that can generate quantitative imaging biomarkers with the potential to improve the management of kidney disease. However, there are knowledge gaps that must be addressed before renal MRI methods could be more widely adopted in clinical research and ultimately be transferred to clinical practice, including the biological basis of different MRI biomarkers, and how the application of these biomarkers will improve patient care. Among renal MRI techniques, renal diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) has been increasingly used in the last decade, showing high potential as a surrogate and monitoring biomarker for interstitial fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as a surrogate biomarker for the inflammation in acute kidney diseases that may impact patient selection for renal biopsy in acute graft rejection. Within the ready-to-start ACH471-205 clinical trial, an Open-Label Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept Study in Patients with C3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) or Immune-Complex Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) treated with ACH-0144471, aimed at evaluating the efficacy of 12 months of oral ACH-0144471 in patients with C3G or IC-MPGN, patients will undergo baseline and 12-month follow-up renal biopsies, and renal function will be assessed over time by estimated or measured (when available) glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Adding multi-parametric NCE-MRI to the examinations under the ACH471-205 study protocol will give the opportunity to elucidate, in a well-defined cohort of patients, the potential of NCE-MRI as biomarker of renal microstructure and functional change.
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 12 months of oral ACH-0144471 (also known as danicopan and ALXN2040) in participants with C3G or IC-MPGN based on histologic scoring and proteinuria.
This is a Phase II trial assessing the safety and preliminary efficacy of daily APL-2 subcutaneous infusion administered for 16 weeks with a 6 month safety follow up, in patients with glomerulopathies
The primary purpose of this proof-of-concept clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug, ACH-0144471 (also known as danicopan and ALXN2040), in participants with C3G who also had significant proteinuria attributable to C3G.
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether ACH-0144471 (also known as danicopan and ALXN2040) increases blood C3 complement protein (C3) levels in participants with low C3 levels due to either C3G or IC-MPGN.
