Active clinical trials for "Polycystic Kidney, Autosomal Dominant"

Primary Objective: To study the effect of mild, moderate and severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Venglustat following a single dose. Secondary Objective: To assess the tolerability of Venglustat given as a single dose in subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment in comparison with matched subjects with normal renal function.

This multi-center, open-label Phase 2 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with the following rare chronic kidney diseases (CKD): CKD associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D), IgA nephropathy (IgAN), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Patients will be enrolled in disease specific cohorts within the trial, and effectiveness of bardoxolone methyl in treating CKD will be assessed separately by cohort for each rare CKD. All patients in the study will follow the same visit and assessment schedule. Following randomization on Day 1, patients will be scheduled to be assessed during treatment at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12, and by telephone contact on Days 3, 10, 21, 31, 38, and 45. Patients will also be scheduled to be assessed at an in-person follow-up visit at Week 16, four weeks after the end of treatment.

Investigation into the long-term safety and efficacy of OPC-41061 in repeated oral administrations at doses of 15 mg twice daily in patients with ADPKD who completed the preceding dose-finding study (156-04-001).

To assess the efficacy of lanreotide in controling total liver volume in patients with polycystic livers this study will be performed. A minimum of 38 patients will be recruited and randomized (1:1) to receive either verum or placebo. Lanreotide is already used in other disease states and found to be safe and non-toxic.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the medication pravastatin will ameliorate renal and cardiovascular disease over a 3-year period in children and young adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

The general aim of the trial is to assess the efficacy of one year treatment with long-acting somatostatin analogue (Octreotide LAR) compared with placebo in slowing kidney and liver growth rate in patients with ADPKD and moderate/severe renal insufficiency and to assess whether and to which extent this translates into slower renal function decline over 3-year follow-up.

LIPS study (Lanreotide In Polycystic kidney disease Study) is a prospective randomized double blind placebo controlled study. The main objective is to prove that lanreotide, a somatostatin analog, is able to reduce the glomerular filtration rate decline over 3 years by at least 30%. Cardiovascular outcomes, blood pressure, quality of life and safety are among the secondary outcomes. The study, which will include 180 ADPKD patients, is scheduled to start in early 2014. An equal number of patients with chronic kidney disease stage 2 (90 patients with GFR 89 to 60 ml/mn/1.73 m2) and chronic kidney disease stage 3 (90 patients with GFR 59 to 30 ml/mn/1.73 m2) will be included. The primary endpoint (GFR decline) will be assessed by repeated measures, in the overall population as well as in the two GFR stratus.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is associated with the development of a variety of extrarenal manifestations of which polycystic liver disease is most common. The investigators aimed to assess the changes over time of liver volume in ADPKD patients and whether it is affected by the treatment with the somatostatin analogue, octreotide. 35 ADPKD patients (14 males) aged 34±8 years were randomly assigned to 36 month treatment with placebo (n=18) or octreotide (n=17). Clinical and liver parameters at magnetic resonance (RM) were evaluated at baseline, study end and after 24 months of drug withdrawal.

This study is being done to determine if treatment with metformin, a drug widely used for the treatment of diabetes type 2, is safe and well tolerated by individuals with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) who are not diabetic and who have slightly decreased kidney function. The study will also evaluate the effects of metformin on kidney growth and kidney function.

The proposed research will determine the effectiveness of curcumin for improving the health and function of arteries in children and young adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The study also will provide insight into how curcumin improves artery health by determining the physiological mechanisms (biological reasons) involved and offer exploratory evidence if curcumin can slow kidney growth. This will be done by comparing these measurements in children and young adults who are randomized to receive either curcumin or placebo for 1 year.
