Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC), as adjunct to ACEi/ARB therapy (lisinopril or valsartan), on slowing CKD progression (assessed as the reduction in participant's glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] decline over time) in participants with hyperkalaemia or at high risk of hyperkalaemia.
Prescribing Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) with enhanced nutritional advice to participants with hyperkalaemia on haemodialysis will reduce serum K+ (S-K+ ) and enable the consumption of more fruit and vegetables and more satisfying diet. The study aims to show that participants using SZC achieve S-K+ reduction as well as participants on SoC (other than K+ binders), without the need for restricting K+ in the diet.
The hypothesis is that 3 months' treatment with SZC versus placebo will enable RASi (Irbesartan) maximisation in a cohort of patients with diabetic kidney disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC) on arrhythmia-related cardiovascular outcomes in participants on chronic hemodialysis with recurrent hyperkalemia.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SZC as compared to placebo in maintaining normal sK+ in patients with hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis associated with CKD
When a patient arrives to an emergency department and is found to have an elevated potassium level in the blood, there is no one standardized treatment, therefore it is not known if one treatment is superior to other. The purpose of this study is to help determine if a drug called patiromer (already approved by the FDA) can help lower potassium levels while patients are in the emergency department.
Patiromer add-on to a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) will reduce blood pressure and left ventricular (LV) mass to a greater extent compared to patients with MRA alone and favorably affect key secondary hemodynamic and inflammatory variables including atherosclerosis progression. Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Type II diabetes. A cell type called the monocyte/macrophage is critical to development and complications of atherosclerosis. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of a medication called Spironolactone in addition to Patiromer in preventing atherosclerosis in Type II diabetes through its effects on cells such as the monocyte. Spironolactone has been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of patients after a heart attack and stroke. The investigators will evaluate the impact of Spironolactone in combination with Patiromer in reducing atherosclerosis plaque and additionally evaluate its potential in changing inflammation. The investigators envision that a strategy of simultaneously probing effect of a drug combined with analysis of mechanisms of action and predictive response will likely provide key information with which to design hard event (heart attack, stroke etc.) based trials.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in serum potassium levels from start of treatment to Day 14, when patiromer is administered at different doses, once daily, in children 2 - < 18 years of age with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperkalemia (too much potassium in the blood). Another purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of patiromer in children 2 - < 18 years of age with CKD and hyperkalemia.
This phase 2, single-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the onset-of-action, safety, and efficacy of RDX227675 for the treatment of hyperkalemia. Subjects who qualify are randomized into one of four treatment groups: Group 1 (Placebo qd), Group 2 (RDX227675 10 g qd), Group 3 (RDX227675 20 g qd), Group 4 (RDX227675 30 g qd).
This study assessed the pharmacodynamic effects of patiromer on serum potassium in participants on hemodialysis.
