Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in children with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD), secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and vitamin D insufficiency.

The study seeks to determine if patients with a pre-existing, well-functioning kidney transplant from a HLA-identical living donor can be withdrawn from immunosuppressive medications without compromising allograft function through hematopoietic stem cell (HPSC) infusion from the same donor. HPSC infusion will be preceded by a conditioning regimen of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG).

This study aims to reduce fluid overload in order to control blood pressure of hypertensive CKD patients using bio-impedance assessment of fluid status and using a diuretic therapy algorithm.

The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial that aims to compare the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy between transradial- and transfemoral-access cardiac catheterization.

The purpose of this study is to test whether or not regular exercise training may improve brain blood flow regulation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

This is an open-label, randomised study in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated for hyperkalaemia (HK) whilst in hospital. The study will compare SZC to standard of care (SoC) with the goal of determining: If continued use of SZC maintains normokalaemia (NK) better than SoC after participant discharge from the hospital. If continued use of SZC after discharge will reduce HK related healthcare resource utilisation compared to SoC.

The investigators will carry out a prospective cross-over, pre-and post-controlled clinical study : 36 patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis with high/high average transport will be recruited and treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and intermittent peritoneal dialysis at night (using automatic peritoneal dialysis machine) for 1 month respectively. The changes of peritoneal transport function and ultrafiltration volume before and after the two dialysis methods will be compared.

This study is open to adults with a type of kidney disease called primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764198 improves the health of the kidneys in people with FSGS. Three different doses of BI 764198 are tested in this study. Participants are put into 4 groups randomly, which means by chance. Three of the groups receive different doses of BI 764198 and one group receives placebo. Participants are in the study for about 4 months. For about 3 months, they take BI 764198 or placebo as capsules once a day. Placebo capsules look like BI 764198 capsules but do not contain any medicine. Participants visit the study site about 10 times. You can participate in this study from your home. In this case a research nurse will visit you for the study visits. Kidney health is assessed based on the analysis of urine samples, which participants collect at home. At the end of the study, the results are compared between the different groups. During the study, the doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

In patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), there is a buildup of nitrogenous uremic toxins of gut microbiome origin, which can contribute to uremic symptoms, reduced quality of life, and earlier progression to dialysis. The goal of this project is to investigate whether the consumption of resistant potato starch (RPS) as an adjunctive therapy to current standard of CKD care will reduce uremic toxins and symptoms by altering the gut microbiota in patients with CKD.

We are doing this study to learn more about how semaglutide may help fight chronic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. We are doing this by looking into how semaglutide works in the kidneys. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine doctors can prescribe in some countries for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Participants will get the study medicine in a pen. Participants will use the pen to inject the medicine into the skin once a week. The study will last for about 1 year. Participants will have 11 visits to the clinic, and 2 phone visits. Some of the visits could be in different locations. Study staff will take blood samples at most of these visits. At 9 visits, participants will be asked to bring a sample of their first morning urine. At 4 of the visits participants will have to bring urine that they have collected over the last 24 hours. The study includes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of participants' kidneys which is a test that shows a detailed picture of organs and other parts inside the body. The scan will last for 30 minutes, and is free of radiation.
