Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and optimal delivery of the Neo-Kidney Augment (NKA) when implanted at one site in a recipient kidney. NKA is made from expanded autologous, homologous, selected renal cells (SRC) obtained from the patient's kidney biopsy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of anemia correction and vitamin D supplementation in kidney transplant recipients.

The Primary Objectives of this study are to assess the long-term efficacy of treatment with colestilan (MCI-196) (including combination therapy) and to assess the long-term safety of treatment with colestilan (MCI-196) (including combination therapy).

This study consists of a 4 week run-in period with a Ca based phosphate binder and 12 weeks treatment period by MCI-196 or placebo, (both on Ca based phosphate binder). During the treatment period, MCI-196 or placebo will be titrated every 3 weeks.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate hemoglobin stability in subjects who had received darbepoetin alfa for a minimum of 3 months prior to study entry who were then converted to epoetin alfa at the same dosing frequency to maintain a hemoglobin level of 12 plus or minus 1 g/dL (range 11-13- g/dL).

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America and Oceania. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the effect of somatropin (human growth hormone) on survival (primary end-point; "time to death" and health related quality of life in adult patients on chronic haemodialysis.

This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Mircera for correction of anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis and are not treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA). Eligible participants will receive Mircera by monthly subcutaneous injections, dependent on body weight (with a starting dose of 1.2 micrograms/kilogram [mcg/kg]). The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) during 36 weeks with safety follow up phase of 52 weeks

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of peginesatide for the maintenance of hemoglobin in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had received at least 24 weeks of peginesatide treatment in an earlier study.

The ATIC study is a randomised, double- blind, placebo-controlled trial in which the effects of oxidative stress-lowering treatment on vascular function and structure are studied in patients with chronic non-diabetic renal failure who are free from manifest arterial occlusive disease. Participants in the trial were randomised to active treatment consisting of add-on therapy with pravastatin, vitamin E and homocysteine-lowering therapy, or to placebo. Subjects not using angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-inhibitors) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) at inclusion were put on ACE-inhibitors for at least two weeks before the baseline measurement and randomisation. Those who were on ARBs continued their ARBs. We excluded individuals with diabetes mellitus (ADA criteria), active vasculitis, nephrotic syndrome (>3gr/24hr urine protein), renal transplantation, fasting total cholesterol > 7 mmol/L, cholesterol-lowering therapy within three months prior to inclusion or known ischemic cardiac, cerebrovascular or peripheral arterial disease. Ninety-three patients (out of 118 eligible patients) took part in the study and written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
