Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The current high-sodium, low-potassium diet contributes to the high prevalence of high blood pressure (hypertension). Indeed, the anti-hypertensive effects of potassium supplementation are well-established. Hypertension is even more prevalent and resistant in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to further decline in kidney function. Four recent epidemiological studies (published 2014 - 2016) showed that higher dietary potassium intake was associated with better renal outcomes. All studies recommended an intervention study with potassium supplementation in patients with CKD, but this has not been performed. The aim of this study is to study the renoprotective effect of potassium supplementation in patients with CKD (stage 3b or 4, i.e. estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 15 - 45 ml/min/1.73 m2).

This is a prospective, single-center, open and self-controlled study.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Paxlovid for the treatment of COVID-19 patients with severe chronic kidney disease.

This study will be conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of ferric citrate in pediatric participants with hyperphosphatemia related to chronic kidney disease (CKD).

This study is conducted to see if ziltivekimab reduces the risk of having cardiovascular events (for example heart attack and stroke) in people with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). This is known as the study medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine doctors cannot prescribe. Participants will get the study medicine in a pre filled syringe. Participants will need to use the pre filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold once-monthly. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have blood and urine samples taken at most of the clinic visits. Participants will have their heart examined using sound waves (echocardiography) and electrodes (electrocardiogram). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to get pregnant during the study period.

Proven therapy for DKD is primarily limited to RAAS blockers and SLGT2i. Weight reduction has the potential to become an additional and much needed treatment option. Of all the weight reduction strategies metabolic surgery is suited to be the most effective. Yet no study has of yet compared the effect of metabolic surgery against best medical treatment on the progression of DKD. This pilot trial is designed to be the first determine the efficacy of metabolic surgery in slowing progression of DKD as compared to best medical therapy. The study design will address all the major limitations previously documented, including the major dilemma of estimating versus measuring GFR. Of note, the study's design will allow its sample size to be adjusted upward using an adaptive design if necessary, to achieve statistical significance. It will also inform study design and sample size issues for all future studies in this field. The payoff of establishing metabolic surgery as a new and effective intervention to slow progression to ESRD would be great in terms of reducing patient suffering and societal costs. This will be an open-label, randomized trial involving sixty (60) patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and obesity who will undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in the intervention arm or receive best medical treatment (BMT) in the control arm. The aim of this prospective, open, randomized study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RYGB surgery versus best medical treatment on the progression of DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC), as adjunct to ACEi/ARB therapy (lisinopril or valsartan), on slowing CKD progression (assessed as the reduction in participant's glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] decline over time) in participants with hyperkalaemia or at high risk of hyperkalaemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nemolizumab compared to placebo at improving the intensity of pruritus after a 12-week treatment period in adult hemodialysis participants with moderate to severe pruritus.

Gout is secondary to urate crystal deposition after chronic elevation of serum urate level. Urate crystal deposition is responsible for acute and recurrent inflammatory flares which can be treated with colchicine, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), corticosteroid or interleukin (IL)-1b blockade. Colchicine and NSAID are contra-indicated in patients with chronic renal disease (CKD) stage 4/5 or with renal transplantation. In these patients gout flare is treated with high dose of corticosteroid or IL-1b inhibitors. Frequent use of high dose of corticosteroid can worsen gout comorbidities including mellitus diabetes type 2, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. Anakinra, an IL-1b receptor antagonist, is efficient in gout flare in patients without CKD stage 4/5. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that anakinra is superior to prednisone to treat gout flare in patients with CKD 4/5 or renal transplantation.

The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to compare the clinical outcomes according to the duration of aspirin and clopidogrel or prasugrel with dual anti-platelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease using a new generation drug eluting stents.

This is a multi-center, open label, cross-over clinical study. A total of 18 subjects will be enrolled to use the IDA for every peritoneal dialysis exchange for 14 days. To participate in the study, the subjects must have current CKD5 and have been treated with PD for at least 3 months. The subjects will undergo a single peritoneal dialysis exchange procedure at the PD clinic, under supervision of the medical staff and instructed about its operation. Further exchanges will be performed by the subjects themselves at home. The study includes three periods: First period (Observational): 14-day Observational Period. Eligible subjects who sign informed consent will continue with their regular CAPD treatment while performing measurement and recording of dialysate in/out time. Second period (Interventional): 14-day interventional period, where subjects will perform dialysis exchanges using the IDA according to the below visit schedule. Third period (Follow up): 14-day follow up period, during which the study staff will call the subject once weekly to inquire about device-related SAEs and any changes to concomitant medications.
