Filter by:This is an adaptive prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of WAL0921 in subjects with glomerular kidney disease and proteinuria, including diabetic nephropathy and rare glomerular kidney diseases (primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis [FSGS], treatment-resistant minimal change disease [TR MCD], primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy [IgAN], and primary membranous nephropathy [PMN]). Subjects in this study will be randomized to receive the investigational drug WAL0921 or placebo as an intravenous infusion once every 2 weeks for 7 total infusions. All subjects will be followed for 24 weeks after their last infusion.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ripertamab and its combination with tacrolimus in the initial treatment of MCD to provide a treatment regimen with higher remission rates, lower recurrence rates, and fewer side effects in patients with MCD.
A prospective observational study to investigate the treatment-associated changes of circulating factors associated with glomerular diseases among patients with de novo nephrotic syndrome admitted to hospital for a kidney biopsy.
The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: - Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat a medical condition. - Audit treatments and outcomes. An audit makes checks to see if what should be done is being done and asks if it could be done better. - Further the development of future treatments. Participants will be invited to participate on clinical trials and other studies. The registry has the capacity to feedback relevant information to patients and in conjunction with Patient Knows Best (Home - Patients Know Best), allows patients to provide information themselves, including their own reported quality of life and outcome measures.
Morning urine samples of patients with IgA nephropathy, idiopathic membranous nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy, and minimal degenerative nephropathy confirmed by renal needle biopsy in our hospital from November 2020 to January 2022 were collected. By scanning the morning urine samples of corresponding patients with microhyperspectral imager, machine learning and deep learning were used to classify microhyperspectral images, and the classification accuracy was greater than 85%. Thus, hyperspectral imaging technology could be used as a non-invasive diagnostic means to assist the diagnosis of glomerular diseases.
The morbidity of recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD) after transplant is well-recognized and include contemporary reduction in quality of life, edema, early graft loss and mortality. Efforts to understand its mechanisms and improve its treatment have been limited by small sample sizes in single center studies and misclassification in registry studies. Recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of FSGS in the native kidney has reinvigorated the scientific community to develop a collaborative community to advance research into the epidemiology, mechanisms, interventions, and outcomes. The purpose of RESOLVE is to gather a group of people with FSGS and MCD that have had or will have a kidney transplant to create a bank of information and biospecimens so researchers can more effectively study these diseases.
This open-label, randomized multicenter study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) of obinutuzumab compared with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in children and young adults (aged >= 2-25 years) with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) or steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS).
Children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) are exposed to prolonged courses of steroids and other immunosuppressant medications. Given the adverse side effect profiles and variable efficacy of these medications, there is an urgent need to identify novel and safe therapies to treat nephrotic syndrome in children. Stimulation of the vagus nerve, which can be activated non invasively by transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), has immunomodulatory effects mediated by the inflammatory reflex and spleen. taVNS has become a therapy of interest for treating chronic immune mediated illnesses. The aims of the study are (1) To determine the feasibility of protocol implementation and tolerability of taVNS in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome in children (2) To establish proof-of-concept and generate statistical estimates of variance parameters and effect sizes for treatment response outcomes in children with nephrotic syndrome randomized to taVNS therapy compared with sham therapy (3) To investigate the effects of taVNS on inflammatory markers in children with nephrotic syndrome.

Researchers from the University of Michigan and Northwestern University are studying people's experiences with swelling caused by Nephrotic Syndrome. Interviews with patients (child and adult) and parents of young children will be conducted. The information collected from the interviews will be used to develop a survey to use when testing new medications for Nephrotic Syndrome. Please consider participating in a 1-hour long interview with the Prepare-NS research study to discuss children and adults experiences with swelling.
