Filter by:This long-term follow-up study is a 5-year long-term follow-up study to evaluate long-term safety in Cellgram-CKD subjects. (refer to ClinicalTrials.gov.Identifier: NCT05042206).
A 9-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the effect of fixed dose ferric citrate versus placebo in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (eGFR ≤20 ml/min/1.73m2) on the composite endpoint of time to initiation of maintenance dialysis or all-cause mortality.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (non-diabetic CKD). The trial treatment, finerenone, is being developed to help people who have long lasting kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by blocking a certain hormone called aldosterone that causes injury and inflammation in the heart and kidney which is known to play a role in CKD. In this trial, the researchers want to learn if finerenone helps to slow down the worsening of the participants' non-diabetic CKD compared to a placebo. A placebo looks like a trial treatment but does not have any medicine in it. The trial will include about 1,580 men and women who are at least 18 years old. The participants will take finerenone or a placebo once a day as tablets by mouth. All of the participants will also continue to take their current medicine for their CKD. The participants will be in the trial for up to about 50 months. During the trial, the doctors will collect blood and urine samples and check the participants' health. The participants will also answer questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is a medical problem that happens during the trial. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in trials, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the trial treatments.
This is a retrospective observational study drawing on data from the Brigham and Women's Home Hospital database. Sociodemographic and clinic data from a training cohort were used to train a machine learning algorithm to predict patient deterioration throughout a patient's admission. This algorithm was then validated in a validation cohort.
Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines (EBNPGs) inform registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) care for patients with chronic kidney disease grade 5 treated by dialysis (CKD G5D); however, there has been little evaluation of best practices for implementing EBNPGs. In this effectiveness-implementation hybrid study with a quasi-experimental design, United States RDNs in hemodialysis clinics will document initial and follow-up nutrition care for patients with CKD G5D using the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Health Informatics Infrastructure (ANDHII) before and after being randomly assigned to a training model: 1) EBNPG knowledge training, or 2) EBNPG knowledge training plus an implementation toolkit. Aims of the study include examining congruence of RDN documentation of nutrition care with the EBNPG; describing common RDN-reported EBNPG acceptability, adoption and adaptation issues; and determining the feasibility of estimating the impact of RDN care on nutrition-related patient outcomes. The AUGmeNt study can inform effective development and implementation of future EBNPGs.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health dilemma because of close association with multiple comorbidities, demanding high cardiovascular events, mortality and expensive medical cost. Novel and effective therapeutic measures remain urgently needed to reduce burden and impact of disease. Advanced renal failure can profoundly alter the biochemical milieu of the gastrointestinal tract leading to a leak gut. Application of 16s rRNA gene analysis identified an increase of Clostridia, Actinobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria in hemodialysis patients and decrease of Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus in peritoneal patients. This altered microbiome consequently affect production of indole or phenol derived uremic toxins leading to renal damage. Our preliminary results indicated reduced number and diversity of intestinal microbes CKD patients compared to normal. Different dietary nutrients can affect the gut microbiome and derive several deleterious metabolites leading to metabolic disarrangement. Clinically, low-protein diet should be prescribe to renal patients to preserve renal function and high fat content are usually recommended to avoid caloric malnutrition to dietary restriction. The changes of diet-microbiome-metabolite interaction are large unknown with this dietary manipulation. The aims of this study is to determine the renal progression-associated gene and taxonomic alterations bymetagenome-wide association studies and the functional characterization of gut microbiome in CKD patients receiving different low-protein or high-fat diets. The results of the study will provide insight on the exact role of dietary manipulation in CKD patients from gut-renal cross talk.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and durability of up to two REACT injections delivered percutaneously into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys on renal function progression in two different cohorts of subjects with T1DM or T2DM and CKD.
This project will study how kidney care for everyone despite race can reduce racial differences in care and improve access to kidney transplants, and specifically living donor kidney transplants (LDKT), for individuals with chronic kidney disease. A study focused on equality and patient needs (called 'STEPS') will 1) create a program to identify people who may need a kidney transplant ('STEPS Surveillance') and find people in health systems who may be able to receive kidney transplants early in their care and (2) study how well the 'STEPS Outreach' program works (comprised of transplant social workers and transplant coordinators who focus on equality and patient needs) compared to usual care to improve access to kidney transplants among Black and non-Black individuals as well as to improve access to transplants for everyone.
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 Phase 3, randomized, Double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm, parallel-group, multicenter study with randomized withdrawal will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and durability of KBP-5074 in adult participants who have stage 3b/4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI] formula [eGFR {EPI}] ≥15 to ≤44 mL/min/1.73 m^2) and uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 and <180 mm Hg and taking 2 or more antihypertensive medications.
