The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the long-term safety and tolerability of MCI-196 in the subjects with stage V chronic kidney disease on dialysis with hyperphosphatemia. The secondary objective of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy of flexible doses of MCI-196.
The proposed study is a pilot study and a first step towards developing an optimized HPV vaccination strategy for girls who have CKD, or are on dialysis or have a kidney transplant.
To measure lanthanum concentrations in bone in patients with hyperphosphatemia receiving dialysis
A. Pain and other disadvantages of AV fistula cannulation can be limited by using the so-called buttonhole technique. B. Till present in our center catheters with cylindrical points are used for cannulation of AV fistulas with the rope ladder technique. One can hypothesize that a catheter with a bevel point might have some advantages such as a larger entrance area and less traumatic cannulation. The latter may influence pain sensation of the patients. The above background information gives rise to the following investigational questions: A. Buttonhole vs rope ladder technique 1. Is pain sensation different when using buttonhole cannulation as compared to rope ladder cannulation technique? Hypothesis: AV fistula cannulation by buttonhole technique causes less pain than cannulation by rope ladder technique. 2. Is the level of anxiety different when using buttonhole cannulation as compared to rope ladder cannulation technique? Hypothesis: AV fistula cannulation by buttonhole technique causes less anxiety than cannulation by rope ladder technique. 3. Is bleeding time different when using buttonhole cannulation as compared to rope ladder cannulation technique? Hypothesis: Bleeding time is shorter when using buttonhole technique versus rope ladder technique. 4. Is the number and severity of complications related to AV fistula cannulation different between buttonhole and rope ladder technique? Hypothesis: When using the buttonhole technique for AV fistula cannulation the number and severity of complications is less than when using the rope ladder technique. B. Rope ladder technique using catheters with cylindrical vs. bevel point 5. Is pain sensation different when using rope ladder cannulation catheters with cylindrical as compared to bevel point? Hypothesis: AV fistula cannulation using bevel point catheters causes less pain than cannulation using cylindrical point catheters.
This is a PIII multi-center, open-label, flexible dose, long-term safety study, that in conjunction with the E07(NCT00416520), E08(NCT00542386) and E09(NCT00451295) studies will allow exposure to MCI-196 for up to 52 weeks
This is a phase III multi-centre study in two periods: the first period is a phosphate binder and lipid lowering drugs washout for 8 weeks, the second period is a double-blind, randomised, parallel group, fixed dose, for 12 weeks.
Prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study to assess the efficacy and safety of paricalcitol injection or oral administered over 6 months to patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism on dialysis.
This is a phase III multi-centre study in three periods: the first period is a phosphate binder washout for 4 weeks, the second period is an open-label, flexible dose titration, the third period is a placebo-controlled withdrawal comparing MCI-196 with placebo for 4 weeks.
The purposes of the study are to determine whether oxidative stress causes the muscle of dialysis patients to tire more quickly than muscle of people without kidney disease and to determine whether treatment with N-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant, can improve muscle endurance.
