Filter by:This is a 2-year, randomized, multicenter, open-label, 2-arm study evaluating the graft function of everolimus and reduced CNI versus MPA and standard CNI in adult de novo renal transplant recipients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy when administering PA21 with calcium carbonate in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia for 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PA21 in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia
The study is designed to compare sevelamer vs. calcium-based phosphate binder in hemodialysis patients to achieve full-scale of medical care, including reduction of atherosclerotic risk factors, reduction of vascular access reconstruction rate, and pharmacoeconomic analysis.
There were 2 study periods in this study. In the Period 1, CP-690,550 was to be administered approximately 1 to 2 hours following hemodialysis. If significant non-renal clearance of the drug occurred such that dialyzability of CP-690,550 could not be assessed in Period 1, a second period (Period 2) will be conducted. In Period 2, a single dose of drug will be administered approximately 4 hours prior to hemodialysis.
Machine learning techniques and algorithms originally developed for use in the field of robotics can be applied to continuous, noninvasive physiological waveform data to discover hidden, hemodynamic relationships. Newly developed algorithms can, in real-time: 1) estimate acute blood loss volume, 2) monitor and estimate fluid resuscitation needs, 3) predict cardiovascular collapse well ahead of any clinically significant changes in standard vital signs, and 4) estimate intracranial pressure. We hypothesize that these same methods can be used to monitor volume loss during hemodialysis, as well as predict intradialytic hypotension, well before it occurs.
Forty percent of patients that require dialysis for kidney failure die within three years mostly due to heart disease. Heart failure and high blood pressure are common problems in patients that require dialysis and are key causes of death due to heart disease. Eplerenone is a drug that is very effective at improving heart failure and reducing blood pressure in patients that do not require dialysis. There is currently no evidence to tell physicians whether eplerenone would have similar benefits in patients that require dialysis. This evidence can only be reliably generated by performing a large scale study. Before such a study is undertaken, the investigators must determine whether eplerenone will be well tolerated and safe in patients that require dialysis. The investigators will perform an initial small trial called the Pilot trial in Hemodialysis patients undergoing Aldosterone antagoniSm with Eplerenone (PHASE) to determine if eplerenone is a well tolerated, safe medication to use in a very large, global study that will show whether or not eplerenone reduces important outcomes for patients like death from heart causes.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate decrease in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in Japanese hemodialysis patients treated with Lanthanum carbonate compared with those with Calcium carbonate.
Study design: Open, randomized, cross-over, monocentric, controlled, prospective Applied Medical Devices: FX CorDiax 60 (high-flux), FX 60 (high-flux) Patients: 30 adult chronic hemodialysis patients Treatment: Each patient will be treated by post-dilution online hemodiafiltration once with each dialyzer type. Study objectives: Intraindividual comparison of removal rate of urea, phosphate, ß2-microglobulin (ß2-m), myoglobin, prolactin, alpha1-microglobulin and alpha1-acidglycoprotein and of the albumin loss with different dialyzer membranes during post-dilution online hemodiafiltration. Primary variable: Removal rate of myoglobin Secondary variable: Removal rate of urea, phosphate, ß2-microglobulin (ß2-m), prolactin, alpha1-microglobulin and alpha1-acidglycoprotein Safety variable: Hematocrit, albumin loss Sample Size: 30 subjects
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of dialysate exposure and fluid removal during hemodialysis in the pathophysiology of intradialytic hypertension.
