Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The objective of the pilot study is to validate the clinical use of an innovative symbiotic in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3b-4 and in healthy subjects. The study aims at evaluating the effects of a symbiotic, consisting of a mixture of probiotics (Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria), prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides and inulin) and natural antioxidants (a mix of quercetin, resveratrol and proanthocyanidins), by achieving two objectives: Reduction of the serum levels of microbiota-derived uremic toxins, involved in a variety of cardiovascular complications in CKD Reduction of intestinal permeability, inflammatory markers and oxidative stress

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a known risk factor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In CKD, decline of renal function results in the accumulation of uremic toxins in blood and tissue, such as Indoxyl Sulfate (IS). IS plasma level is predictive of mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Patients with CKD have increased oxidative stress and circulating tissue factor (TF) levels. In vitro, IS induces an inflammatory, pro-oxidative and pro-coagulant phenotype on endothelial cells and activates TF. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) protects endothelial cells from the effects of IS. NAC reduces oxidative stress and production of activated TF. A prospective study evaluating an oral NAC treatment versus placebo in chronic hemodialysis patients showed a better cardiovascular outcome but the physiopathology was unclear. The hypothesis is that NAC reduces cardiovascular risk by its effect on uremic toxin-induced pro-coagulant TF production. The primary objective is to compare the effect of NAC intravenously administered at each dialysis session (2gram on 3 dialysis sessions per week) to placebo on circulating TF levels in patients with CKD on chronic hemodialysis after 4 weeks of treatment. The objective is to show a 33% decrease in circulating tissue factor (TF) levels in the NAC group compared to the control group. It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial that includes chronic hemodialysis patients from La Conception Hospital (AP-HM) in Marseilles, France. This is an interventional biomedical research project. 20 patients will be included in each group and will receive during 4 weeks intravenous injection. This study will give a pathophysiological rationale for the use of NAC to reduce thrombotic and cardiovascular risk in patients with CKD. This step will provide the rationale for a clinical trial to reduce the occurrence of major cardiovascular events with IV NAC in hemodialysis (HD) patients.

This is a Phase 1, Open-label, Single Dose, Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Desidustat for treatment of anemia in patients receiving chemotherapy.

The current study will investigate whether long term implementation of expanded hemodialysis (HDx) will effectively decrease serum levels of large uremic toxins and ameliorate progression of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease requiring hemodialysis.

The purpose of this research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of 2 different doses of a study drug called ziltivekimab to placebo (an inactive substance) in reducing inflammation and improving some of the bad effects of inflammation on heart disease. Participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to receive either ziltivekimab or placebo. The chance that participants will be assigned into one of the three study arms of ziltivekimab (either 15 mg or 30 mg) or placebo is the same (approximately 33%). This is a double-blind study, which means neither participants nor the study doctor will know which group the participants are in. In case of an emergency, however, the study doctor can get this information. The study drug will be injected under the skin once every 4 weeks. In this study participants will receive 3 injections of study drug. The total study duration for each participant will be approximately 6 months.

This project has as main objective to evaluate the effects of a Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in the reduction of stressors, pain and quality of life of people with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The investigators hypothesize that this program offered during hemodialysis sessions may modify the pain profile, stressors levels and may improve the quality of life by the people in hemodialysis. This is an incipient field of research at the international level and almost nonexistent in Brazil. Evidence indicates the need for MBIs to be performed during HD sessions, adapted to the context, to facilitate patient compliance, contribute to the management of the discomfort generated during HD and promote health.

This study is a single centre, randomised, open-label, single-dose, 5-period, 5-treatment, crossover study in healthy male and female subjects. This study is intended to assess the relative bioavailability between the fixed dose combination (FDC, i.e. verinurad/allopurinol FDC capsule 12/300 mg) and free combination formulations of verinurad (i.e. verinurad prolonged release Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose [HPMC] capsule 12 mg) and allopurinol (i.e. allopurinol table 300 mg) in fasted and fed conditions. The study will also assess the relative bioavailability between a formulation only containing verinurad (i.e. verinurad prolonged release gelatin capsule 12 mg) and the FDC capsule.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the dose-response efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD5718 in participants with proteinuric chronic kidney disease.

Effects of functional inspiratory muscle training by telerehabilitation on respiratory and peripheral functions, functional capacity, diaphragm thickness and mobility, posture, quality of life, cognitive function, fatigue, physical activity, endothelial function and aortic stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease will be investigated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of YPEG rhEPO, a recombinant human erythropoietin pegylated by Y shape polyethylene glycol, in patients with anemia due to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), assessed by hemoglobin maintenance, adverse events and health-related quality of life.
