Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

This randomized controlled trial aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of the antidiabetics metformin versus empagliflozin on chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in patients with CKD stages 2 or/and 3.

This is an Open-Label Rollover Extension Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of KT-301 (formerly US-APR2020) in Subjects With CKD IV Who Completed the US-APR2020-01 Study

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of CIN-107 for the treatment of hypertension in patients with uncontrolled hypertension (uHTN) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

The current role of the rotational atherectomy is for non-dilatable coronary lesions and for severely calcified lesions that may interfere with optimal stent expansion. Severely calcified coronary lesions are associated with worse outcomes. In this regard, chronic kidney disease is associated with severely calcified coronary arteries. Some evidence suggests that elective rotational atherectomy used by experienced operators can be safe and effective, minimizing time and complications for patients with heavily calcified lesions. However, there is no direct randomized comparison between rotational atherectomy and angioplasty alone in the setting of chronic renal failure and with intravascular ultrasound assessment for detecting severely calcified coronary arteries.

This study is a randomised controlled intervention trial for patients with chronic kidney disease who are on the waiting list for a kidney transplantation (n=200). The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of intensive individual nutritional and exercise support combined with comprehensive rehabilitation before transplantation in comparison to a control group.

The purpose of this pilot interventional study is to collect preliminary data on the application of a transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) device in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This data will enhance understanding of the short-term safety, tolerability and effects of this novel therapeutic approach in the setting of CKD. The primary aims are to investigate the feasibility of the protocol and generate preliminary signals of efficacy and tolerability for two different doses of vagal nerve stimulation. The pilot estimates will be used to design a larger scale study that may lead to potentially targeted interventions to reduce cardiovascular (CV) mortality in the CKD population.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of adding lactoferrin to the every-other-day oral iron supplementation in iron deficiency anemia and chronic kidney disease patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanistic effects of dapagliflozin 10 mg, alone or in combination with balcinrenone 150 mg, with balcinrenone 150 mg and placebo, on the way the body handles electrolytes and water content, as well as the effects these interventions may have on energy metabolism in participants with stage 3 chronic kidney disease. The study interventions will be administered orally, daily, in addition to current therapy, for a duration of 28 days. This will allow us to maximize our ability to detect a drug effect while minimizing the drop-out rate that accompanies longer studies. In order to understand the different mechanistic effects of these interventions on energy metabolism, the study will be conducted at two study sites. The study design and treatment allocation, treatment duration as well as sample analysis for evaluation of the primary endpoint will be identical for all participants, at both sites. Therefore, urine and plasma samples for analysis of water and electrolyte handling will be collected from all study participants at both sites. In addition to the primary endpoint, the main study site (Nuremberg) will conduct a metabolic study to investigate the early- and late-effects of the interventions, while the second site, Marseille, will conduct an imaging sub-study to assess changes at the tissue level before and after treatment.

In the study Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Managing Obesity in People with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) the investigators will test whether CBT programme is effective for weight loss and weight maintenance after the treatment programme in patients with obesity, chronic kidney disease and proteinuria. The investigators will test whether subjects randomised to the intervention group and receiving cognitive behavioural therapy can achieve greater weight loss and proteinuria reduction in chronic kidney disease than subjects randomised to the control group and not receiving cognitive behavioural therapy. Both groups of subjects will be counselled by a dietician to improve their diet and reduce excess weight and to kinesiologist for advice on physical activity.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the following questions in the patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis with elevated blood phosphorus: How much effect AP-306 has assessed by blood phosphorus lowering; How safe and tolerable AP-306 is. Participants will receive either following treatments: AP-306, and Sevelamer carbonate.
