Filter by:PREFERRED-1 is a pilot study for a large randomized, pragmatic, open-label, comparative-effectiveness trial. The pilot study will enroll at least 60 patients from at least 6 different hemodialysis centres in Ontario, Canada. Patients on outpatient maintenance hemodialysis at high risk of fragility fracture, will be randomized 1:1 to a denosumab care pathway vs. usual care
This cross-sectional pilot study will examine the blood clotting patterns in children with chronic kidney disease stages 3, 4, and 5. A total of 30 participants will be enrolled with 10 participants for each stage of chronic kidney disease. Blood specimens will be collected from each participant during a routine clinic visit, and will then be processed to evaluate blood clotting characteristics according to thrombelastography and more conventional clotting tests.
As a multi-center, retrospective observation study in southern China, this study included the main study population of patients who underwent coronary angiography at 5 hospitals from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Yangjiang, Maoming and Longyan from January 2000 to Decemeber 2020. The hospitalization information was collected in the form of direct derivation of the case, and cardiac and renal adverse events were collected through outpatient system. Data on all-cause death were obtained from the Guangdong Provincial Public Security and matched to the electronic Clinical Management System of the Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital records.
This is a prospective multi-centre, observational cohort study of incident and prevalent patients diagnosed with a kidney disease in China.
This is a prospective, observational study to assess the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on surrogate markers of kidney and cardiovascular health in patients with stage 3b and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study includes three clinic in person visits and weekly telephone visits for 12 weeks. 1. Recruit 28 patients with CKD stages 3b-4 and follow up for 12 weeks 2. Determine the effect of interventions on the primary outcome variable serum klotho measured by immunoprecipitation-immunoblot
Rationale: The humoral and cellular immune response after two mRNA vaccinations is severely attenuated in kidney transplant patients compared to controls, especially when their immunosuppressive regimen contains mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) / mycophenolic acid (MPA). A repeated dose strategy is therefore required to improve the efficacy of vaccination. Objective: To investigate the immunogenicity of third or fourth dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccination strategies in kidney transplant patients. Study design: Prospective, multicentre, open-label randomized clinical trial Study population: Patients with a functioning kidney transplant who did not seroconvert after two or three doses of a mRNA vaccine (either mRNA-1273 (Moderna) or BNT162b2 (Pfizer) or any combination of both) Procedures: Based on their immunosuppressive treatment, patients can participate in one of the following strata: - stratum A: patients receiving triple immunosuppressive therapy, consisting of a calcineurin inhibitor, MMF/MPA, and steroids In stratum A, patients will be randomized to one of two equally sized groups. Patients will receive a third or fourth vaccination of the mRNA-1273 vaccine (100 μg, i.m), with either continuation of MMF/MPA (A1) or discontinuation of MMF/MPA during one week before and one week after the third or fourth dose, respectively (A2). - stratum B: patients receiving any combination of immunosuppressive drugs. In stratum B, patients will be randomized to one of three equally sized groups. Patients will receive another dose (100 μg, i.m) of the mRNA-1273 vaccine (B1), or two single doses of mRNA-1273 into the left and the right upper arm (2 x 100 μg, i.m; B2), or the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine (Janssen, 5x1010 viral particles, i.m; B3). Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with an anti-S1 antibody concentration higher than 10 BAU/mL established at 28 days after the third or fourth vaccine administration. Within each stratum different vaccination strategies will be compared. Secondary endpoints include: - concentration of anti-S1 antibodies in serum at 28 days after the 3rd or 4th vaccine administration - concentration of virus-neutralizing antibodies in serum - SARS-CoV-2 specific T cell responses - safety in terms of incidence of acute rejection and solicited local and systemic adverse events (AEs) after vaccination. - antibody (IgG and IgA) responses in nasal mucosal fluid
Reduction of BK Viremia by treating kidney transplant patients.
In this study, the investigators will be looking at results of tests of memory and thinking and daily activities in a group of people without known chronic kidney disease (CKD) , and a group of CKD patients, and follow the participants for up to four more years, including after the participants start dialysis or receive a transplant. The investigators are doing this study to compare how often memory loss, confusion and difficulty with daily activities occur in those without and those with CKD. Additionally, the investigators are doing this study to identify risk factors for memory and thinking problems in CKD patients. The information received through the NDI will be utilized to help track our study population and help provide useful information regarding cause of death of those in our study.
This is an open-label Phase 2 study evaluating the long term safety and tolerability of GFB-887 in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and treatment-resistant minimal change disease (TR-MCD)
The estimates risks and benefits of the percutaneous kidney biopsy have been reported mainly from retrospective studies. So far no prospective multicentre studies has been designed to identify rates of biopsy related complications. The aim of this prospective multicentre study was to evaluate safety and complication events related to biopsies on native kidney in Italy.
