Filter by:This is a prospective, observational, multi-center study with consecutive enrollment. Up to 500 patients will be enrolled. All (consecutive) adult patients in whom one or more components of the Benephit Infusion System are planned to be used at participating sites are eligible for enrollment. The objective of this post-marketing surveillance study is to collect clinical usage patterns of the Benephit Infusion Systems. As a result, AngioDynamics will be able to (1) Better understand and quantify usage patterns including patient characteristics, adjunctive procedures, and infusion agents, (2) Collect user-interface information and overall customer satisfaction, and (3) Monitor post-marketing device performance and safety for ISO quality adherence.
The purpose of the study is to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety of elinogrel and its metabolite in patients with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment compared to healthy volunteers.
Acute renal failure, now referred to as acute kidney injury, is common in intensive care unit patients, contributes to high morbidity and mortality, and has no proven interventions with benefit once established. In addition to supportive care, these patients frequently receive diuretic therapy, most commonly furosemide. Prior trials showed no impact of furosemide on clinical outcomes and perhaps harm, however, these trials suffered from numerous limitations and lack applicability to modern intensive care unit patients. As a result, there appears a disconnect between clinical practice and available evidence. Survey data supports the view of clinical equipoise for use of furosemide in intensive care unit patients with early acute kidney injury. Moreover, these data also confirm there is an urgent need for higher quality and more definitive evidence from randomized trial on furosemide use in early acute kidney injury. Accordingly, the investigators propose to conduct a pilot phase II randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial comparing furosemide to placebo in ICU patients with early acute kidney injury. The specific aims of this study are: 1. To compare the efficacy and safety of a continuous infusion of furosemide versus placebo titrated to the physiology parameter of urine output in early acute kidney injury on the primary outcome of progression in severity of kidney injury in intensive care unit patients with early AKI and stratified by the presence of sepsis. 2. To evaluate selected secondary endpoints on the impact of furosemide versus placebo, specifically: fluid balance goals; electrolyte and acid-base balance; the need for renal replacement therapy (i.e. dialysis); total duration of acute kidney injury; the rate of renal recovery; and mortality. 3. To compare the impact of furosemide versus placebo on the trajectory of serum and urinary biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL], interleukin-18 [IL-18]) and evaluate whether these biomarkers perform superior to conventional measures (creatinine, urea) for monitoring the progression of kidney injury and the prediction of outcome. This trial represents part of a larger initiative aimed towards expanding our understanding of the treatment of acute kidney injury in intensive care unit patients and evaluating interventions that may potentially reduce kidney injury and improve clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of dutogliptin in Type 2 diabetic subjects with moderate or severe renal impairment.
The purpose of this study is to measure the acute renal dysfunction on the first, second, seventh and twentieth days.
This investigational study will investigate two different volume replacement regimes in patients suffering from compromised renal function.
Fondaparinux is a parenteral anticoagulant drug and is approved for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in high risk medical patients. A relevant proportion of medical patients have moderate to severe renal insufficiency, which is an independent risk factor for bleeding. This risk may be further increased when low molecular weight heparin or fondaparinux are administered in patients with severe renal insufficiency, defined by a creatinine clearance of lower than 30 mL/min. No clear indications are available to reduce such risk in patients who require thromboprophylaxis. A lower dose of fondaparinux, 1.5 mg daily, has been recently approved for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in the specific population of patients with a creatinine clearance between 20 and 50 mL/min (European Marketing Authorization). However, there are to our knowledge no clinical studies that have assessed the safety and efficacy of this reduced dosage in medical patients.
The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of add-on therapy with the direct renin inhibitor Aliskiren in comparison to placebo on renal blood flow in patients with heart failure and reduced renal function. - Primary outcome measure: change in renal blood flow at 6 months - Secondary outcome measures: changes in renal function, N-terminal pro Brain natriuretic peptide, left ventricular function, blood pressure and neurohormones
This is a Phase 1 study to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of IK-1001 (sodium sulfide) in healthy volunteers as well as in subjects with varying degrees of impaired renal function. A total of 28 subjects will be enrolled into the study over a 6 month period. There will be 4 cohorts. The first cohort will consist of subjects with mild renal impairment, the fourth cohort will be subjects with intermediate renal impairment and the third cohort will be subjects with severe renal impairment and the second cohort will consist of normal healthy subjects. All subjects will receive the study drug for 3 hours as a single intravenous (IV) infusion and will be followed over a 7 day period.
This study will assess the influence of the High Cut-Off (HCO) CVVHD treatment on the disease progression in septic patients. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate whether HCO CVVHD leads to a significant improvement of the hemodynamic status (mean arterial pressure, vasopressor requirements) in septic patients in comparison to CVVHD treatment with conventional high-flux filters. For the HCO-group the investigators expect a 50% lower dosage of vasopressors needed to maintain an adequate organ perfusion.
