Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The purpose of this study is to look at how the dose of dialysis is affected by the rate at which dialysate flows through the dialyzer. The dose of dialysis (Kt/V) will be determined by measuring blood levels of urea at the beginning and end of dialysis at two different dialysate flow rates.

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of once monthly administration of Mircera in Filipino patients with chronic kidney disease who are either on dialysis or predialysis, and not receiving erythropoiesis stimulating agents.Patients will receive Mircera at a starting dose of 0.6 micrograms/kg sc every 2 weeks, with dose adjustments until a target hemoglobin level is achieved, and then dosing will continue every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample is <100 individuals.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) administration in organ donors on the kidney graft function of recipients.

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with paricalcitol, an active form of vitamin D, has beneficial effects on metabolic abnormalities in people with stage 3-4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

This is an open label, single center, randomized, active comparator controlled study, comparing the effects of vitamin D replacement using oral ergocalciferol versus paricalcitol on parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in patients with stage 3 and 4 CKD and vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. The purpose of this study is to determine which of these two approaches is more successful.

The study objective is to investigate the effects of three low doses of atrasentan on urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) levels in subjects with Type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Patients with Type 2 diabetes with nephropathy must be receiving a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor, such as an Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) for participation in this study. ACEi and ARB treatment are the standard of care for the management of proteinuria in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients.

Part 1: To determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 3 μg paricalcitol capsules in children ages 10 to 16 years with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD Stages 3 and 4). Part 2: To determine the safety and efficacy of paricalcitol capsules as compared to placebo in decreasing serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) in children ages 10 to 16 years with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease with an initial 12 weeks of double-blinded study drug followed by a minimum of 12 weeks of open-label active drug.

This was a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HS219, chitosan-loaded chewing gum, when given three times a day for 3 weeks to the hemodialysis (HD) patients with hyperphosphatemia whose serum inorganic phosphorus was not well controlled with calcium carbonate or sevelamer hydrogen chloride.

The primary objective of this study is to describe how four different dosing regimens of PROCRIT (epoetin alfa) are utilized in patients with anemia due to non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of paricalcitol injection. Subjects will administer clinical supplies 3 times a week, 40 weeks at dialysis session in dose-titration manner, following 12 weeks of treatment in the dose-response study, M10-309 (NCT00667576).
