Filter by:In the planned randomized controlled prospective pilot study, we aim to evaluate ADVOS compared with conventional hemodialysis regarding the elimination of protein-bound toxins in patients with therapy-refractory hepatorenal syndrome. The study will be performed in a regular non-ICU ward with a large experience in the use of the ADVOS therapy.
This is an open label, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dose levels (2.5 mL and 5.0 mL) of Indigotindisulfonate Sodium Injection, USP 0.8% when used as an aid in the determination of ureteral patency in patients with different degrees of renal impairment.
This research study is for people who have been waiting for a kidney transplant for at least one year, and who have a cPRA of 99.5% or higher. Having a cPRA of 99.5% or higher means that your immune system would reject 99.5% of kidneys available for transplant. The study will test whether new products called Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CAR T Cells), when given with chemotherapy, is safe and will reduce cPRA. The main study will last up to 2 years: Participants will have up to 30 clinic or hospital visits over a one-year period. If a transplant takes place, there will be 9 more visits after transplant. Long term follow up is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 15 years after receiving CAR T cell. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of administering CART BCMA + huCART-19 following lymphodepletion, including determination of optimal tolerated regimen (OTR) and/or recommended phase 2 regimen, according to the incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in highly sensitized patients awaiting kidney transplant.
The investigation is a prospective cohort study, where two patient groups will be monitored by a wearable bioimpedance sensor during their scheduled treatment. The overall objective is to assess the bioimpedance sensor's ability to detect local and systemic fluid accumulation. Sub-investigation A will investigate the ability of the device to detect fluid accumulation in patients with stable chronic kidney disease undergoing regular and planned hemodialysis. Sub-investigation B will investigate the ability of the device to track hydration status in patients scheduled for an "intensive" dialysis treatment regime, due to severe overhydration.
Patients with chronic kidney diseases, especially those requiring hemodialysis, are characterized by an increased risk of numerous morbidities. This is a condition that significantly impacts the patient's quality of life, leads to dependence, and involves high-cost treatment. The physical condition of chronic kidney disease patients falls well below the recommendations set by the World Health Organization, indicating effective difficulties in the approaches used for implementing physical activity programs. New approaches must be considered. Physical activity through virtual reality can foster greater social integration of patients with physical exercise during hemodialysis, enabling improved quality of life and decreased frailty levels for these individuals due to its playful and motivational nature. Objective: To assess changes in heart rate variability modulation and the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing virtual reality-based exercise during hemodialysis sessions. Methods: A longitudinal, controlled, randomized crossover clinical trial. The chronic kidney disease groups will be divided into two groups, Group A (GA) and Group B (GB). Group GA will engage in 10 interventions, with each intervention involving the completion of 3 sessions of a Virtual Reality (VR) game lasting 5 minutes each, totaling 15 minutes of exercise. Group GB will participate in 10 interventions, with each intervention comprising 15 minutes of physical exercise on a cycle ergometer, referred to here as conventional exercise. After the initial 10 interventions, the groups will switch exercises; that is, GA will cease VR interventions and begin another 10 interventions with conventional exercise, while GB will stop conventional exercise interventions and start another 10 interventions with VR. The Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form questionnaire, Beck's Anxiety and Depression Inventory, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire will also be administered to all groups.
The purpose of this study is to understand how the loss of kidney function affects study medicine (PF-07923568) in the body. People with some level of loss of kidney function may process PF-07923568 differently from healthy people. PF-07923568 is developed as a possible treatment for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. RSV is a common virus that affects the lungs and usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. RSV can cause severe lung infections in infants, elderly, and adults with other serious medical conditions. This study is seeking participants who: - Have less than 25% difference in kidney function between 2 screening visits. - Meet the eGFR criteria for being assigned to groups. eGFR tells how well the kidney is filtering. - Are not on hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is a type of treatment that helps the body remove extra fluid and waste products from the blood when the kidneys are not able to. Participants will take the study medicine as capsules by mouth once at the study clinic. The participants will stay at the study clinic for about 5 days. During that time, the study team will monitor the participants. The study team will take some blood samples to test the level of PF-07923568. This will help us understand if some level of loss of kidney function will have an effect on the study medicine PF-07923568.
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of SelfWrap, a bioabsorbable perivascular wrap.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disease affecting 10-12% of the adult population and characterize with high-risk cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with progression of CKD. Treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (iSGLT2) not only improves hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D) but also results in body-weight loss, a reduction in blood pressure, and a decrease of cardiovascular events and progression of renal failure in both diabetes and non-diabetes patients.(Heerspink et al. 2020) Therefore, dapagliflozin is now associated with the inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system to reduce kidney events. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects of dapagliflozin on the renal function remain unclear. When renal failure occurs, it impairs the removal of several metabolites called uremic retention solutes. If these retention solutes exhibit deleterious interferences with biochemical/physiological functions, they are referred to as uremic toxins as they can contribute to the manifestations of the uremic syndrome and are associated with a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and with progression of CKD. Many of the uremic toxins are not produced by the body itself but rather derived from gut microbiota metabolism such as the well-known trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO),p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), phenyl sulfate (PS), indoxyl sulfate (IS), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).The gut microbiota composition in a uremic context has been the subject of an increasing number of publications and majority of them confirm a decrease of gut microbiota richness and deep modifications.Recently, an animal study suggested that dapagliflozin, subtly improve the composition of the gut microbiota in mice with T2D and another preliminary clinical study didn't observe a modification in the fecal microbiome after dapagliflozin initiation.But in other study, empagliflozin significantly reshaped the gut microbiota after 1 month of treatment in T2D patients and be associated with shifts in plasma metabolites. Similarly, canagliflozin reduces plasma uremic toxins in a CKD mice model.However, it remains unknown whether treatment with dapagliflozin alters the gut microbiota in CKD patients without T2D; furthermore, the relationship between the gut microbiota, uremic toxins production and CKD-related beneficial effects of dapagliflozin remains elusive. Herein, the investigator will investigate the clinical benefits of dapagliflozin and possible associations between its renal function benefits and alterations in plasmatic gut microbiota-derived metabolites and the gut microbiota composition in non-T2D CKD patients. To this end, the investigator will conduct an observational clinical trial in non-T2D CKD patients with the primary aim of investigating dapagliflozin-induced compositional changes of intestinal gut microbiota.
The investigators designed an observational multicenter explorative in vivo study to investigate the changes in ceftriaxone pharmacokinetics in blood and ascites. The investigators will include a total of 20 patients with liver cirrhosis admitted to the ward of participating hospitals. Patients are eligible when receiving ceftriaxone and concomitantly receive paracentesis. The investigators will collect all available waste blood samples of each participant, starting from study entry up until 48 hours after the last dosing interval of ceftriaxone. The investigators will collect all available waste ascites samples of each participant up until 48 hours after the last dosing interval of ceftriaxone. Duration of the trial: The study duration is variable and depends on the duration of ceftriaxone treatment and duration of hospital admission, which both are determined by the treating physician and is not influenced by study participation. Patients will be eligible for study inclusion when patients received (a single dose of) ceftriaxone treatment and undergo paracentesis during ceftriaxone treatment. The study will end 48 hours after the last dosing interval of ceftriaxone or until hospital discharge, whichever comes first. Study timeline: The investigators expect to enrol 1-2 participants every month. The total enrolment time will thus be approximately 12 months.
