Active clinical trials for "Arthrogryposis"

This is an open-label study looking at the effects of NPSP795 (a selective calcium receptor antagonist) on activating mutations of the Calcium-sensing receptor in patients with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia. Patients with ADH have low blood calcium levels and an inappropriately increased renal calcium excretion, decreased renal phosphate excretion, and hyperphosphatemia. PTH and blood calcium levels will be tested during and after the IV infusion of NPSP795. Concentrations of NPSP795 and length of time of IV infusion will vary depending on measured levels of ionized calcium.

The purpose of the trial was to determine the short-term effects of tolvaptan in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) at various levels of renal function.

The purpose of this study is to compare the short-term effects of two tolvaptan formulations in patients with ADPKD.

This study is to evaluate how the Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (WREX) is working for children who are using the WREX, or have used it in the past. The survey consists of a set of questions a) performed online and b) performed over the phone.

To demonstrate whether tolvaptan modifies ADPKD progression as measured by changes from Baseline (from Study 156-04-251) in total kidney volume (TKV) and renal function.

ADPKD patients who enrolled in Trial 156-04-251 will receive repeated oral administration of tolvaptan twice daily (morning and evening: 45mg/15mg, 60mg/30mg, or 90mg/30mg).

ADPKD patients who were enrolled in Study 156-05-002 will receive repeated oral administration of OPC-41061 at doses of 15 mg twice daily (morning and evening). Administration will be continued until the time of manufacturing and distribution approval of OPC-41061 for ADPKD in Japan.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic hereditary kidney disease in humans. ADPKD may affect all the generations of the ADPKD family and the probability of ADPKD is 50% in the second generation for each gender. It has been confirmed that PKD1 and PKD2 are two pathogenic genes of ADPKD. Nowadays, the investigators have established an effective gene detection technology platform for PKD1/2 gene with long fragment PCR and next generation sequencing. First, the investigators performed genetic testing in patients with clinically diagnosed ADPKD and strong fertility desire, but afraid of hereditary risk. Using Preimplantation genetic diagnosis, including multiple annealing and looping-based amplification cycles amplification technique, the investigators successfully screened out healthy embryos by In Vitro Fertilization. Then the investigators transplanted embryos returned to the parent. When the baby is born, using umbilical cord blood gene detection, the investigators confirmed that the neonates do not inherit genetic defects form parents. The investigators have succeeded in one couple. The investigators design a multicenter clinical trial to confirm those procedures efficacy and safety.

We aimed to evaluate the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients. Twenty two ADPKD patients and 27 healthy subjects were enrolled.

Recent evidence has shown that kidney volume predicts the likelihood of developing renal insufficiency over a finite length of time in ADPKD, suggesting a linkage between the growth of cysts and the harm they do to kidney function. Recent studies indicate that the rate of kidney volume increase is hastened by excess dietary protein, salt, and potential net acid precursors, and slowed by increased water intake sufficient to lower plasma vasopressin levels. Diets are commonly prescribed to treat ADPKD and other renal patients with disease near the end-stage, but there is currently no specific diet prescription that takes potentially harmful dietary elements into account for ADPKD patients in the earliest stages of the disease. This study will examine a novel diet for ADPKD created by the researcher termed the ADPKD diet.
