Filter by:Canagliflozin is an oral drug which is currently approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Canagliflozin acts by increasing salt and sugar loss in the urine, and has shown to protect heart, kidney, and blood vessel function in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown how canagliflozin protects the kidneys from disease. Therefore, this study plans to learn more about how canagliflozin works to protect against diabetic kidney disease in adults with type 2 diabetes. This study will use state-of-the-art kidney imaging, kidney biopsies and detailed testing of kidney function to determine the mechanisms of protection afforded by canagliflozin.
The Safety, Tolerability Pharmacokinetic and Food Effect Study of HEC73077 in Healthy Subjects
The objective of this study is to investigate and compare the safety and efficacy of selective (PDE5) enzyme inhibitor; tadalafil and non selective (PDE) inhibitor; pentoxifylline in diabetic nephropathy to improve glucose metabolism, lipid profile and decrease albuminuria.
This multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled study will assess the efficacy of the SGLT2 inhibitor tofogliflozin on Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) compared to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
This is a prospective, open, multicenter clinical trial.The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction in patients with CKD stage 2-4 diabetic nephropathy.
PRECIDENTD is a randomized, open label, pragmatic clinical trial designed to compare rates of the total number of cardiovascular, kidney, and death events among two alternative treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and either established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or at high risk for ASCVD. To accomplish this objective, we will randomly assign 6,000 patients with established T2D and ASCVD or high-risk for ASCVD in a 1:1 allocation to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). Participants will be followed for the occurrence of the trial primary endpoint of the total (first and recurrent) number of episodes of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, arterial revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure, development of end-stage kidney disease, kidney transplantation, and mortality, counting all events from randomization until end of study.
According to the different epidemiological studies in Mexico the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy is 9.1%-40% in diabetic patients, however the complication is subdiagnosed when we see the numbers of uncontrolled diabetics (75%) and patients that are under continuous screening to prevent complications development (only 12.6% had an annual albuminuria measurement). In addition, Mexican have an increased susceptibility to developing diabetic nephropathy. These data highlight the need to identify new biomarkers that could help us to identify those patients at high risk for developing diabetic nephropathy, in order to take preventing measures to delay the progress of the disease to CKD and improve the quality of the patients. Thus, the comparison of transcriptomic profile between diabetic patients with and without diabetic nephropathy is the first step to characterize this complication. In addition, we will be able to identify diabetic nephropathy biomarkers for development of new diagnostic tools and even to find therapeutic targets in Mexican from Hospital Juárez de México.
Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease worldwide. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a clinical diagnosis based upon the presence of reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and/or increased urinary albumin excretion (UACR) in diabetes. The inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been identified as the cornerstone in the management of DKD for decades. Recently, more evidence supports the use of Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in the treatment of DKD. They were associated with slower progression of renal disease and lower rates of clinically relevant kidney events. Those studies confirmed the SGLT2i efficacy in kidney protection and showed that their addition to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBS) will be more effective than using ACEi or ARBS alone. It is unclear whether SGLT2i is used as a first-line instead of ACEi or ARB, and to what extent it will be effective in managing DKD compared to the proven effect of ACEi/ARBs alone. This study provides a unique opportunity to address this gap in the literature. The aim of this study is to compare, head to head, the renal performance of ACEi (standard of care) versus SGLT2 in diabetic patients who have evidence of deteriorating renal function evidenced by either the reduction of e GFR or increased UACR. Scientific hypotheses: Null hypothesis: after one year, the mean change of the e GFR in the enalapril group - Mean change of the e GFR in the empagliflozin group > or = 5 ml/min/1.73m2 Alternative hypothesis: after one year, the mean change of the e GFR in the enalapril group - Mean change of the e GFR in the empagliflozin group < 5 ml/min/1.73m2
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Identifying new treatments for DKD to be used alone or in combination with other therapies is a high priority. Inflammation plays a key role in DKD and targeting pro-inflammatory lipid mediators called leukotrienes may represent a promising therapy for DKD. The current proposal will investigate whether montelukast, a leukotriene antagonist, reduces proteinuria and improves vascular function and arterial stiffness in patients with DKD.
The overarching goal of this proposal is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on improving clinical outcomes, self-care behaviors and quality of life in low-income African Americans with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) experiencing multidimensional adversity. The study objective will be achieved with the following aims: Aim 1: To determine the feasibility of a basic needs navigation intervention as measured by recruitment, session attendance and retention in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Aim 2: To test the preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on clinical outcomes (hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, lipids) in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Hypothesis 1: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved HbA1c at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved blood pressure at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 3: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved lipids at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Aim 3: To test the preliminary efficacy of a basic needs navigation intervention on self-care behaviors and quality of life (SF-12) in low-income Africans Americans with DKD experiencing multidimensional adversity. Hypothesis 1: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved self-care behaviors at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals randomized to the basic needs navigation intervention will have improved quality of life at 6 months of follow-up compared to an enhanced usual care group.
