Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

To evaluate the efficacy of oral ferric maltol compared with placebo in the treatment of IDA in subjects with CKD

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.

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.

A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled Phase 3 study for the maintenance treatment of anemia in participants with Non-dialysis-dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (NDD-CKD)

Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are a leading cause of serious complications and death following major noncardiac surgery. The heart biomarkers brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitivity troponin I/T (hs-TnI/T), may aid in estimating the risk of surgery - low values may permit identifying patients at a very low risk of postoperative complications, potentially helping to avoid unnecessary tests and delays prior to surgery. Recent studies suggest that the manner in which an anesthetic is conducted may have an important impact on postoperative outcomes. The combination of low blood pressure (BP) and a deep level of anesthesia despite a low dose of anesthetic - also known as a "triple low" - has been linked to increased complications and death following surgery. However, it is unclear whether triple lows actually cause postoperative complications or whether they are merely an indicator of a sick patient, who is in general more likely to suffer from cardiovascular events in the near future. To answer this question, in this study patients will be randomly assigned to groups with lower and higher blood pressures, and the postoperative rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and of relevant increases in hs-TnI (a marker of cardiac injury) compared. Another important question is that of the optimal blood pressure target during surgery. Currently there are no established methods of tailoring blood pressure management to the individual patient. In the study the investigators will perform ambulatory 24h BP measurements prior to surgery to measure the patients' average BP during sleep. In the analysis of the study data, the investigators will try to determine the relationship of preoperative biomarker levels, intraoperative BP (both in relation to fixed targets and to the patient's own night-time BP) and of anesthetic depth with the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events after surgery.

The proposed pilot study challenges the current widespread paradigm of discontinuing loop diuretics when initiating chronic HD and/or maintaining the dialysate at a constant temperature of 37 °C for all patients.

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 is a study to investigate the efficacy and safety of OPC-41061 by 24-week oral administration of OPC-41061 at 15-mg or 30-mg or placebo in patients with chronic renal failure who are undergoing hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration and who have daily urine volume of at least 500 mL/day.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether febuxostat and benzbromarone could protect renal function, and which one could be better.
