Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The main objective of the study is to compare the impact of oral ferric citrate compared to standard of care oral ferrous sulfate on serum iron, percent transferrin saturation, ferritin, hepcidin and hemoglobin levels in individuals with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) and absolute iron deficiency.

Treatment using statin has been decreased the risk of cardiovascular events in pre-dialysis CKD population. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid (FA) lowers the risk of cardiovascular death in patients with myocardial infarction. This cardioprotective effect of omega-3 FA can be explained by anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, or anti-thrombotic effects. Statin such as pravastatin is also known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, suggesting that statin may replace the cardioprotective effect of omega-3 fatty acids. Erythrocyte membrane oleic acid is significantly higher in patients with acute coronary syndrome than control subjects. The cardioprotective effect of omega-3 FA may also be related to decreased oleic acid content of erythrocyte membrane. There is no report about the effect of statin on FA including erythrocyte membrane oleic acid. As omega-3 FAs are recognized as therapeutic agents for reducing triglycerides, statin may affect on the erythrocyte membrane FA. Therefore, pravastatin supplementation can modify erythrocyte membrane FA contents including oleic acid in CKD patients.

This study is a randomized study designed as a 2x2 cross-over in two periods (Period 1 and Period 2) to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of EOS789 in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperphosphatemia receiving hemodialysis. Period 1 is double-blind and Period 2 is open-label. Period 1 and Period 2 are identical with regard to the design, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and assessments. EOS789 and its combination with sevelamer carbonate are tested in Period 1 and Period 2 respectively.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of patient educational materials (a book and DVD) to help patients with chronic kidney disease make early, shared, and informed decisions about kidney replacement therapy. Half of the participants will receive the educational materials and half will receive usual care from their doctors.

A Phase Ib, Open-Label, Single Arm Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Impact on Humoral Sensitization of SANGUINATE Infusion in Patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

This study will compare placebo to 4 different doses of SBR759 to assess the phosphate lowering efficacy in dialysis patients.

Phase IIIb study to evaluate the long-term efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) (using targeted ferritin levels to determine dosing) or oral iron in non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD) subjects with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).

This is a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial to see if treatment with sertraline as compared with placebo tablets will improve depression symptoms in patients with chronic kidney disease who have not yet started dialysis or received a kidney transplant. The investigators will also investigate whether sertraline treatment will improve quality of life and whether it is safe to use in patients with kidney disease. The study subject will be randomly assigned to take either sertraline or a placebo tablet for 12 weeks.

It is difficulty for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who had not succeeded medical therapy and could not get parathyroidectomy. The investigators suppose that ultrasonic ablation may be a valuable alternative treatment that help control secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD patients presenting with enlarged parathyroid gland(s) visible at ultrasonography.

To investigate whether treatment with a vitamin-D receptor activator is able to improve important markers of cardiovascular risk.
