Filter by:This research aims to assess effects of ramadan fasting on kidney function and proteinuria in patients with glomerulonephritis.
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are newly developed antihyperglycemic medications. In addition to their glucose lowering properties, they have been shown to have favourable effects on the cardiovascular and renal outcome in patients with diabetes. one of the most interesting renal effects is reduction of proteinuria. The aim of our study was examine the effect of SGLT inhibitors on proteinuria in patients with glomerulonephritis. This study is a randomised controlled trial.
This 2-arm, multi-center, open-label, parallel-group phase II trial will assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of the human antibody MOR202 in subjects with anti-PLA2R antibody-positive membranous nephropathy indicated for immunosuppressive therapy
Urinary CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes may predict renal flares in patients with inactive ANCA-associated vasculitis and thus serve as early non-invasive biomarkers. Urine samples of patients with inactive renal ANCA-vasculitis will be analysed by flow cytometry and compared to clinical outcome after 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the tolerability of ADR-001 in Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Nephropathy patients. In addition, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of ADR-001 for IgA Nephropathy patients.
This is an open-label, multicentre study to characterize the safety and efficacy of the human anti-CD38 antibody MOR202 in adult subjects with in Anti-PLA2R Antibody Positive Membranous Nephropathy (newly diagnosed/relapsed/refractory)
Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN), an autoimmune disease mostly associated with anti-phospholipase-A2-receptor (PLA2R) antibodies, is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. In 30% to 40% of all cases, patients with PMN undergo spontaneous remission with conservative approaches. Corticosteroids, alkylating agents and calcineurin inhibitors are recommended treatment options in persistent disease activity despite supportive therapies. Nevertheless, patients with refractory disease constitute an important clinical aspect of PMN, and uncontrolled proteinuria may culminate in rapid progression to end-stage renal disease. In recent years, several studies demonstrated the efficacy of rituximab as a treatment option in patients with refractory PMN; however, data regarding daily clinical practice of this agent is still needed. Therefore, we conducted a study using our registry data to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab in patients with refractory PMN.
It has recently been described the presence of a urinary inflammatory signature in patients with cystinuria, the most common cause of renal lithiasis of genetical origin. These data are very innovative in this pathology but deserve further studies to establish the specificity of this inflammatory signature in patients with cystinuria compared to other nephropathies and other renal lithiasis diseases. Moreover, the effect of the usual treatment of cystinuria (namely urine alkalanization) on urinary inflammatory biomarkers deserves to be tested. The objectives of the present study are: i) To study the urinary inflammatory profile by mass spectrometry (a very efficient tool to detect and identify proteins) in patients with cystinuria and in patients with lithiasis of other origin and in patients with inflammatory renal disease ; ii) To study the potential effect of urine alkalinazation with potassium citrate (usual treatment according to European recommendations) on the inflammatory signature of patients with cystinuria. To this aim, urine of non treated cystinuric patients will be collected before treatement initiation and 3 months after the start of the alkalizing treatment.
The study is an open-label, two cohort non-randomized study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of LNP023 in patients with C3G (Cohort A) and patients who have undergone kidney transplant and have C3G recurrence (Cohort B).
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.
