Filter by:An observational prospective study to determine the impact of foam sclerotherapy of large, dominant kidney/liver cysts on quality of life outcomes and kidney/liver cyst volumes at up to 12 months of follow-up in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD).
This is a Phase 3 trial consisting of a 2-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase (Part 1) followed by a single-arm open-label phase (Part 2) to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of lixivaptan in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Part 1 of the trial is designed to demonstrate the efficacy of lixivaptan in slowing the decline in kidney function as measured by the difference in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between the lixivaptan-treated and placebo-treated participants. Part 2 of the study is designed to provide confirmation of the durability of this effect. Additionally, both parts of the study will contribute to understanding the safety of lixivaptan, particularly any effects on liver chemistry tests.
The purpose of the ADPKD Registry is to create an online patient network that includes at least 5,000 people with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) who contribute data on their health and other topics. The ADPKD Patient Registry aims to support important scientific discoveries and support patient needs in the following ways: - Connect ADPKD patients with opportunities to join clinical studies. - Collect data for the research community to better describe the ADPKD disease experience and improve patient care. - Engage with patients by measuring quality of life outcomes.
This pilot study will compare endothelial function in patients with ADPKD with matched healthy volunteers and normotensive chronic kidney disease stage 1 & 2 patients. Patients will undergo a single assessment of endothelial function and measurement of plasma and urine levels of biomarkers of endothelial function.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is first genetic kidney disease and fourth etiology of end stage renal disease in the world. Peritoneal dialysis is underuse in this population. Indeed in this pathology, behind big kidneys and big liver, a hyper pressure is feared with technical failure. The lack of abdominal space could generate increase of peritoneal pressure. Hyper pressure is already known to be a risk factor of technical failure and over mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients (all nephropathies included). It depends on body mass index and body surface modulating injected volume for each patient. Anticipate peritoneal pressure in this population ADPKD could be an important information for distinguish those who can use peritoneal dialysis without fear and those at risk of technical failure. The primary objective is to create and validate prediction score for intra-peritoneal pressure, in peritoneal dialysis for ADPKD patients thanks to clinical and radiological values. The secondary objectives are to study the association between intra-peritoneal pressure and patient's outcome (global survival and technical survival). Retrospective, multicentric, national, cohort study will be performed. For the first step (score creation): ADPKD patients starting peritoneal dialysis for end stage renal failure between 01/01/2010 and 31/12/2015 with tomodensitometry between one year before beginning and one year after were included. For the second step (score validation): ADPKD patients starting peritoneal dialysis for end stage renal failure between 01/01/2016 and 31/12/2017 with tomodensitometry between one year before beginning and one year after were included.
To evaluate the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of tolvaptan when administered to slow the progression of cyst development and renal function insufficiency in adult Korean patients diagnosed with rapidly progressive ADPKD who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-3 at initiation of treatment.
Pathological features of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney disease (ADPKD) include enlarged kidney volume, a higher frequency of digestive diverticulitis and abdominal wall hernias. Therefore, many nephrologists have concerns about the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in ADPKD patients. We aimed to analyze survival and technique failure in ADPKD patients treated with PD.
This international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with ADPKD. Approximately 850 patients will be enrolled.
This study will analyze the germline and somatic mutations underlying the development of ADPKD in order to better understand the genetic mechanism responsible for the cystic transformation. Once identified, these mutations could help us understand better the mechanism leading to the development of this disease and may explain at least in part the phenotypic variability.
ADPKD is the most common form of hereditary kidney disease and is known to occur in 1 of 400 to 1000 population in the U.S. ADPKD consists of 2.8% of patients receiving kidney transplantation in the investigator's center. It is known that ADPKD is associated with vascular anomalies, including abdominal aneurysms, valvular anomalies and especially intracranial aneurysms. Intracranial aneurysms occur in 9~12% of the ADPKD population which is higher than 2~3% in the general population and is known to be associated with PKD1 or PKD2 heritage. Until now, most of the studies regarding intracranial aneurysms in ADPKD are conducted in animal models, and there are only few cellular studies conducted from human samples. Total 154 patients received kidney transplantation for ADPKD from 1994 to December 2018 at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. While performing kidney transplantation to ESRD ADPKD patients, nephrectomy has been routinely performed for polycystic kidney and the nephrectomy specimens can be obtained. The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism of intracranial aneurysm in ADPKD patients by analyzing gene characteristics from nephrectomy specimens.
