Filter by:This study will be conducted in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the clinical diagnosis of Diabetic Nephropathy( DN) using a multi-center, randomized, adaptive, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design. Primary objective of the study is investigate the change of Urinary Albumin to Creatine Ratio (UACR) after treatment with different oral doses of BAY94-8862 given once daily from baseline to Visit 8 (Day 90)
Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is becoming a global health concern that affects largely the elderly population. Despite advances in pharmacological and management strategies, DKD remain associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients living with such chronic disease, are expected, on daily basis to manage their self-care activities. Patients' non-adherence to the treatment is thought to be the major cause for the poor control and the occurrence of complications. Previous researchers have shown that multidisciplinary management of chronic disease can improve patients' self-care and outcomes. However, none of these programs was centered on self-care and targeted patients with DKD. A multidisciplinary self-care management program could improve the outcomes of patients with DKD, and delay the progression of the disease. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a multidisciplinary self-care management program on self-care behavior, quality of life, medication adherence, glycemic control and renal function, in adults with DKD. The study will use a cross-over design. 32 adult with DKD, will be randomly recruited from the Vaud University Medical Center, nephrology department and will be enrolled in the program for 12 month. All variables will be measured at baseline, three, six, nine and 12 month. We will measure the patients' self-care behavior, quality of life, adherence to the anti-hypertensive medication taking using, the Revised Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities questionnaire, the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of life questionnaire and the Medication Events Monitoring System. We will assess the patients' glycemic control by measuring the glycated hemoglobin and the renal function by measuring the serum creatinine and the microalbumin creatinine ratio. The study will clearly show if a multidisciplinary self-care management program will improve the health outcomes of patients with DKD and will allow us to recommend the establishment of such a program.
Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate of the efficacy and safety of DW1029M on microalbuminuria in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effect of green tea (epigallocatechin gallate) in albuminuria in diabetic patients and nephropathy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of MT-3995 in Subjects with Diabetic Nephropathy
Hypertension is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetic patients (NIDDM) with nephropathy, and is the single most important determinant of the rate of renal function loss. In many of these patients, hypertension is resistant to therapy. Although increased sympathetic activity is also highly prevalent in NIDDM patients with nephropathy and chronic renal insufficiency, little attention has been paid to sleep apnea as the cause of both resistant hypertension and sympathetic hyperactivity in this population. Since the prevalence of sleep apnea is increased in patients with either NIDDM, or resistant hypertension, or chronic renal insufficiency, it is almost certain that sleep apnea has a high prevalence in patients in whom all three states co-exist, i.e. NIDDM patients with nephropathy and hypertension resistant to therapy. As a consequence of undetected and untreated sleep apnea, resistant hypertension, nocturnal hypertension, and sympathetic hyperactivity likely contribute to accelerated loss of renal function and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in these patients. Hypothesis: A. Sleep apnea is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy and hypertension resistant to therapy. Treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) will result in a decrease in blood pressure and restore normal diurnal blood pressure pattern. B. Sleep apnea-caused hypertension is mediated by sympathetic hyperactivity and increased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy. A decrease in sympathetic hyperactivity in response to NCPAP therapy will result in a decrease in plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concomitant with decreases in blood pressure. Randomized, double blind, parallel comparative (two groups) one center trial.

To assess a new drug, BAY94-8862 given orally at different doses, to evaluate whether it was safe and can help the well being of patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. These treatment doses were compared to placebo.
Phase 4 Study to evaluate the safety and effect on decreasing subjects' albuminuria who have Type 2 Diabetes by using sarpogrelate and placebo.
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a devastating complication of diabetes, that in it's worst form, can lead to early cardiovascular death or kidney failure. A group of medicines used to treat diabetes, glucagon-like-peptide-1 analogues (GLP-1), may be able to protect people with diabetes from DKD by reducing inflammation in the kidney. This study aims to test this theory by studying the effect of GLP-1 on kidney function in people with diabetes. To understand how GLP-1 can affect inflammation, the investigators will give a GLP-1 treatment (Liraglutide) to people with DKD and monitor the effect on inflammation and kidney function using blood and urine tests. The investigators will compare these results to patients with DKD who do not receive GLP-1 treatment. If GLP-1 proves to be effective in reducing inflammation and improving kidney function, then it could be developed as a viable new treatment for people with DKD, and may significantly reduce the disease burden, or the risk of DKD, in people with diabetes. This would be a major advance in the treatment of DKD.
Diabetic nephropathy(DN)is a major microvascular complication of diabetes.Renal injury may be presented with the characteristics of albuminuria, and its main pathological change is glomerular sclerosis. However, both glomerular lesions such as glomerulosclerosis, glomerular basement membrane thickness and tubulointerstitial fibrosis have been found in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients with normal urinary albumin excretion rate, moreover the tubular injury may be the primary pathological change in diabetic renal injury not only the secondary change brought on by glomerular injury. Thus, if overt urinary albumin exists in T2DM patients, the tubular injury may be severe already. An index which is predominant, sensitive and convenient to be measured should be purposed.It is predicted that insufficient renal 1-alpha hydroxylase may play a critical role in diabetic nephropathy. Then the investigators present the presumption that the activity of renal 1-alpha hydroxylase could reflect the degrees of tubulointerstitial injury, using serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D level as an index.
