Filter by:The goal of this clinical study is to test the tolerability of oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC) in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis and have hyperphosphatemia (too much phosphorus in their blood). The main question it aims to answer is whether patients taking OLC for hyperphosphatemia are able to tolerate the drug. Participants will continue with their scheduled dialysis treatments and replace their current phosphate binder drug with OLC.
Phase 1 basket trial including 2 open-label single-arm cohorts: REPAIR CKD cohort and REPAIR Dialysis cohort. Open label colchicine 0.3 mg daily for 8 weeks followed, in patients who tolerated the 0.3 mg dose, by forced titration to 0.6 mg daily for 8 weeks.
The OPTIMISE-CKD CEE study design will create a real-world evidence platform that systematically leverages the routine data collection made by Investigators and will help obtain relevant insights from clinical practice. This study is likely to include a more heterogeneous population compared with the constraints required by interventional study protocols. Treatment decisions, clinical outcomes, and common treatment scenarios in the context of routine care of CKD are likely to be more generalizable than those from clinical trials. It is important to assess the current CKD treatment with dapagliflozin. The research questions can be divided into two categories: 1. What does the dapagliflozin utilisation in CKD look like? a. Who are being treated? 2. What are the selected outcomes of interest and treatment patterns among CKD patients treated with dapagliflozin, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D) up to 12 months post-initiation? Primary objective is to characterize dapagliflozin utilisation in clinical practice, by describing treatment naïve patients who are treated with dapagliflozin for CKD. Secondary objectives are to describe selected outcomes of interest and treatment patterns among CKD patients treated with dapagliflozin up to 12 months post-initiation. The OPTIMISE-CKD CEE study is a multinational, observational, longitudinal cohort study, with a pre-post design, which will include patients who are treated with dapagliflozin with CKD in real-world clinical practice, utilising secondary data sources. This is a secondary data collection study, where variables are extracted from electronic or paper medical records. Seven Central Eastern Europe countries are planned to participate in the study: Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. A total number of 1090 patients are estimated to be included in the study. The study population will consist of adult patients with CKD who meet the country-specific label for dapagliflozin as treatment for CKD across CEE.
To investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of natriuresis-guided diuretic therapy as a personalized approach to managing acute heart failure in patients with underlying chronic kidney disease and its effect on short term outcomes.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major public health issue, leading to high mortality and the necessity for renal replacement therapy. Kidney fibrosis, resulting from chronic damage to kidney tissue, significantly determines CKD outcomes. Kidney biopsy, the gold standard for assessing fibrosis, is invasive and limited in its ability to reflect the heterogeneous nature of fibrosis. Consequently, there is growing interest in noninvasive methods, particularly Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). MRE, which evaluates tissue stiffness, has shown potential for assessing kidney fibrosis. This study aims to use multifrequency MRE to assess renal fibrosis, focusing particularly on the early stages of CKD, to enhance understanding of its progression and relationship to clinical outcomes.
This is a randomized, double-blind sham-controlled monocentric trial. 30 patients that are diagnosed with hypertension and with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease are included in this trial. 20 of them are randomized into the active treatment arm, 10 into the sham arm. Low-intensity extracorporal shock wave (Li-ESWT) sessions (arm1) or sham sessions (arm2), will be administered with a dedicated probe within three consecutive weeks to the kidneys of patients.The study will add data to the effects of the shock wave treatment on blood pressure and will assess whether this treatment improves renal function, perfusion and oxygenation. The study includes a third arm (arm3) in which treatment sessions are administered to patients that were in the placebo group in the first phase of the study (arm2).
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem worldwide.(1) Chronic renal failure is defined as a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 of body surface evolving for more than 3 months
The aim of this protocol is to assess the presence and severity of primary aldosteronism pathophysiology in patients with type 2 diabetes who have, or are at-risk for developing, chronic kidney disease.
This pilot study will assess the efficacy of a pregnancy and contraception education decision aid (DA) for patients with chronic kidney disease to support decisions about reproductive health, and will assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention to inform future Research Project Grant (R01) level studies.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate cardiometabolic and inflammatory parameters in kidney transplant recipients after transitioning to a plant-based diet (PBD). The main aims of the study are as follows: - To test the feasibility of transiting renal allograft recipients who are > 3 months post-transplant to a PBD - To study the effect of a PBD on cardiometabolic parameters in kidney transplant recipients - To assess the effect of a PBD on peripheral blood Th17/Treg ratio and systemic inflammation in kidney transplant recipients Participants will be asked to: - Complete a 2-week investigator-designed PBD transition program - Follow a PBD for a minimum of 16 weeks - Consent for blood draws, urine samples, and fecal samples along with physical exams - Complete intermittent food frequency questionnaires and quality of life questionnaires - Periodically meet with investigators and other study participants Researchers will compare baseline measurements with future measurements for each participant.
