This is a three-part study of MK-2060 in participants with chronic and/or end-stage kidney disease. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD4) or stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5) participants in Part 1, of multiple subcutaneous doses in CKD4 or CKD5 participants in Part 2, and of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in participants with end-stage kidney disease in Part 3. The primary hypothesis is that, in Part 1, the true geometric mean of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) after a single-dose of MK-2060 in adult CKD4 or CKD5 participants is at least 11300 nM*hr.
The goal of this prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study is to assess the trajectory of the experiences (both positive and negative) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of informal caregivers of patients who start home dialysis, and compare these to experiences and HRQOL of informal caregivers of patients who start in-centre hemodialysis. The investigators hypothesise that informal caregivers of home dialysis patients experience more positive experiences, but also more negative experiences, and still have better HRQoL, compared with caregivers of in-centre HD patients. Participants will fill in five different validated questionnaires and questions on required support. Participants are asked to fill in the questionnaires after inclusion (i.e., start of dialysis), and at 6 and 12 months after start dialysis.
Since its inception, KPMP has developed sophisticated protocols for collection and analysis of human kidney tissue, and for collection of biofluids. Members of the consortium have wide-ranging expertise in conducting clinical studies, processing kidney tissue, advanced structural and molecular analysis and complex bioinformatics analysis, which will be used to leverage effectively as a group to better understand kidney disease. This joint protocol aims to synergize the COVID-19 study efforts of KPMP academic research centers, to collectively study COVID-19, including its renal presentation using kidney tissue and/or biofluids from patients suffering from COVID-19. This will increase the breadth and depth of data available to the public to expedite discoveries, identify therapeutics, and improve outcomes for patients with COVID-19. It will additionally bring the expertise of KPMP investigators to bear against this pandemic.
This observational study will evaluate bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) measurements from patients undergoing hemodialysis.
International, multicentre, randomized 1:1 controlled trial to prove the clinical and medico economic benefits of the medical device Predigraft, by showing that the use of Predigraft could improve patient's follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of MK-2060 (a monoclonal antibody against Factor XI) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) participants receiving hemodialysis via an arteriovenous graft (AVG). Data from this study will be used to aid dose selection of MK-2060 in future studies. The primary hypothesis is that at least one of the MK-2060 doses is superior to placebo in increasing the time to first occurrence of AVG event.
The main objective of this prospective cohort study is to assess arrhythmia burden and glycemic variability in a multicenter cohort of patients with end-stage renal disease using a sufficient observation period in order to identify arrhythmia burden and type and characterize associations with patient characteristics and dialysis treatment, glycemic variability and subsequent risk of adverse outcomes.
VAVASC trial is an observational multicentre study. The aim of this trial is to validate AVAS (arteriovenous vascular access stage) classification. The classification is used for determining which type of access is the most suitable for the patient on the basis of the patient´s vascular anatomy The methodology of this trial is to apply AVAS classification on patients who are indicated for creation of vascular access for hemodialysis. Data on these patients (vascular anatomy status, AVAS type, and predicted type of arterio venous access, demographic data etc.) will be than statistically analysed. Patients will then undergo creation of the selected arteriovenous access. They will be observed in terms of the access functionality. The follow up will be 1 to 3 years. The second aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between AVAS classification and uninterrupted use of the created arterio venous access.
To determine the efficacy and safety of transplanting HCV positive kidney allografts to HCV sero-negative patients who are on the waiting list.
