Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

Prospective, multi-center study to evaluate the everlinQ endoAVF System when used to create an endovascular arteriovenous fistula (endoAVF) for patients who require vascular access for hemodialysis.

This is a 24-week multi-center, double-blind, randomized, exploratory study of bardoxolone methyl treatment in 18 patients with Stage 3 CKD (eGFR greater than or equal to 30.0 to less than 60.0 ml/min/1.73m2) and diabetes to ensure at least 15 patients complete the study for evaluation of the primary endpoints.

This study was designed to determine appropriate treatment with Fabrazyme at a biweekly dose of either 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg in a population of patients with severe renal disease burden.

The long-term goal is to assess the fall in kidney function measured by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) when patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are exposed to intravenous iron (IVIR). We hypothesize that in subjects with mild to moderate CKD, infusion of intravenous iron (IVIR), will generate oxidative stress and cause an inflammatory response that will be associated with a more rapid decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to oral iron.

FMX-8 is a new type of drug being tested for the treatment of anemia in chronic illnesses.

This study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of bardoxolone methyl in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to further determine whether benazepril, could safely slow the progression of renal dysfunction in non-diabetic patients with advanced renal insufficiency.

The oxidative stress and inflammatory state is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and is predictive of cardiovascular events and mortality rates in the general population and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis therapy 1. Increased oxidative stress and inflammation has been identified in all stages of CKD, ranging from moderate renal insufficiency to ESRD. However, the pathophysiology of increased oxidative stress and inflammation associated with the development of CKD is currently poorly understood. There is also concern about the epidemic of obesity in the United States, as the overall health status of the general population is adversely affected by increasing adiposity. Recent studies indicate a strong relationship between adiposity and incident CKD. Furthermore, the presence of an elevated body mass index (BMI) is an independent predictor for progression to ESRD, even after additional adjustments for baseline blood pressure and the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus. Limited data in the general population show that healthy lifestyle interventions, such as exercise and dietary caloric restriction, either alone or in combination, reduce the inflammatory and oxidative stress burden seen in obese subjects. The impact of healthy lifestyle modifications on inflammation and oxidative stress has not been investigated in the obese CKD population. Based on the foregoing observations, the purpose of this investigation will be to determine whether healthy lifestyle interventions in the form of low-impact aerobic exercise and dietary calorie restriction in obese subjects (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2) with moderate to severe (Stage III-IV) CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 20-59 ml/min] will improve oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, adipocytokines, endothelial dysfunction, and quality of life.

To evaluate the survival benefit associated with Zemplar therapy as compared to Calcijex for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in subjects with Stage V chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis as measured by time to death.
