Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of topiroxostat on urinary albumin excretion and the safety in patients with early stage diabetic nephropathy and hyperuricemia with or without gout. Participants are randomized to placebo (n=20) or topiroxostat (n=40) for 28 weeks. The investigational drugs for this study are supplied by FUJI YAKUHIN CO., LTD.
The main objective is to study the epigenetic contribution to the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy in Qatari population.
The main purpose of this study is to analyse test-retest-reliability of functional quantification of endothelial dysfunction through puls-amplitude-tonometry in patients with heart failure with preserved/reduced ejection fraction, pulmonary hypertension, arterial hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. In the same group, test-retest-reliability of circulating endothelial cells as well as test-retest reliability of non invasive cardiac output Monitoring will be observed and analysed.
Based on preclinical and small-sized studies in non-diabetic individuals, incretin-based therapies, i.e. glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, may hold promise in preventing the onset and progression of diabetic kidney disease. However, the potential renoprotective effects of these agents, that are believed to be effectuated "beyond glucose control", have not been sufficiently detailed in human diabetes. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the mechanistic and clinical effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on renal physiology and biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes. Forty patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes will undergo an eight week intervention with lixisenatide or insulin glulisine in order to assess changes in the outcome parameters.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether VPI-2690B Injection is effective in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of MT-3995 in Subjects with Diabetic Nephropathy.
Definite diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is currently based on renal biopsy findings. In most cases, however, the diagnosis can be reliably made in patients with macroalbuminuria in the presence of diabetic retinopathy.Microalbuminuria is often used as a prognostic marker in type 1 diabetes, because approximately 50% of type 1 diabetes patients with microalbuminuria will eventually develop diabetic nephropathy. Conversely, microalbu- minuria is of much less value as a marker in DM because it has a variety of causes, including hypertension. Thus, additional markers are needed to identify patient groups with a high risk of developing overt diabetic nephropathy. The aims of this study is checking urine UbA52 levels with ELISA to identify its significance in the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem in Thailand. Previous studies have demonstrated that integrated pre-dialysis care may slow the decline in renal function (Nephrol Dial Transplant.2009 Nov;24(11):3426-33). It is interesting to know whether early intervention especially in high risk groups like Diabetic may also improve outcome of these patients in primary health care setting resulting in delay of CKD progression.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of selonsertib (formerly GS-4997) on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in participants with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Participants will be randomized with a 1:1:1:1 allocation to receive 1 of 3 doses of selonsertib (2 mg, 6 mg, or 18 mg) or matching placebo.
In this quality improvement program (DKD-TMT), patients will be recruited from multiple sites across Asia, with each site recruiting at least 300 type 2 diabetic patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). After explanation by trained doctors and nurses, and with written informed consent, patients will be randomized to the UC (n=100, usual care) group, the EC (n=100, empowered care) group, or the TEC (n=100, team-based, empowered care) group. Patients in all 3 groups will undergo a comprehensive assessment (CA) guided by the templates in the Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) portal at baseline and at month 12. They will also self-administer a set of questionnaires for assessing quality of life and psychological distress during the CA at both time points. During the 12 months between the 2 CAs: - Patients in the UC group will receive UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution. - Patients in the EC group will receive a JADE summary report with personalized risk prediction, treatment targets and decision support with explanation from the doctor and nurse. In addition to receiving UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution, the nurse will telephone the patient 3-monthly to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns. - Patients in the TEC group will be followed by a doctor-nurse team at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets, but tailored to patients' risk profile. The patients will receive telephone reminders and also be given a JADE follow up report 3-monthly. The primary composite endpoint is attainment of treatment goals and/or control of risk factors. The secondary composite endpoint is all-diabetes related clinical endpoints. The tertiary changes are behavioral changes, psychological well-being and quality of life.
