Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of calcium absorption and metabolism in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) using calcium balance and kinetic methods.

The hypothesis underlying this study is that phosphate interferes with PTH-mediated calcium reabsorption in the distal nephron and thereby necessitates supranormal [PTH]to maintain normocalcemia in chronic kidney disease. This study will examine the hypothesis with measures of phosphate homeostasis and calcium reabsorption. A double-blind trial of the intestinal phosphate binder sevelamer carbonate will be employed to examine whether reductions in phosphate influx alter distal nephron phosphate concentration and the [PTH] required for calcium reabsorption in the expected manner.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of thrice weekly intravenous (IV) administration of etelcalcetide in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD).

This is a 2-part study in participants with renal impairment and matched healthy participants to investigate the effect of impaired renal function on the plasma and urine levels of omarigliptin (MK-3102) after taking a single 3 mg dose by mouth.

The objective is to evaluate the safety of paricalcitol capsules in pediatric subjects, ages 10 to 16 years old, with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (kidney failure) receiving peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis and being treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Subjects will be in the dosing period of the study for 12 weeks in order to evaluate the incidence of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in blood). Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled and all 12 will receive paricalcitol capsules.

This study determined the optimal starting dose of patiromer in treating hyperkalemia in participants with hypertension and diabetic nephropathy who were already receiving ACEI and/or ARB drugs, with or without spironolactone. This study also evaluated the efficacy and safety of patiromer and the long term use of patiromer.

The primary objective of the study is to examine the effect of denosumab on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) after one year of treatment in newly transplanted renal allograft recipients. Secondary endpoints include BMD changes at the total hip and the femoral neck, changes in body height, changes in bone mineral metabolism parameters, incidence of fractures, and allograft function at one year. Safety measurements include the occurrence of rejection episodes, infectious complications, graft loss and mortality. Trial with medicinal product

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate therapeutic equivalence of IV Epoetin Hospira compared to IV Epogen (Amgen), based on maintenance of Hb levels and study drug dose requirements in patients treated for anemia associated with chronic renal failure and on hemodialysis.

Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Design, Placebo-Controlled Multicenter Study. The study objectives are to evaluate efficacy and safety, including thoracic bioimpedance, of once daily administration of atrasentan tablets (high dose and low dose) compared to placebo in type 2 diabetic subjects with nephropathy who are receiving the maximum tolerated labeled daily dose of a RAS inhibitor.

This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of etelcalcetide compared with placebo in the treatment of SHPT in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis.
