Niacin and Endothelial Function in Early CKD
Chronic Kidney DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to obtain information on whether raising levels of HDL-cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) can improve how blood vessels work in kidney disease. This may help us understand the causes leading to high rates of heart disease in kidney disease and also ways to reduce this risk.

A Study of Mircera in the Treatment of Anemia in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Not on Dialysis...
AnemiaThis study will assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Mircera in the treatment of renal anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis and not receiving epoetin or any other erythropoietic substance. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of AZD9977 and Dapagliflozin in Participants With Heart Failure...
Heart FailureChronic Kidney DiseaseThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD9977 in combination with dapagliflozin compared with dapagliflozin alone and to assess the dose-response relationship, dapagliflozin alone and 3 doses of AZD9977 combined with dapagliflozin on urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR). The study will be conducted in participants with heart failure (HF) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF [below 60%]) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR [between ≥ 20 and ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2, with at least 20% of participants with eGFR ≥ 20 to <30 mL/min/1.73^2 and a maximum of 35% of participants with eGFR ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m^2]).
Pilot Study of Loop Diuretics Among Individuals Receiving Hemodialysis
Chronic Kidney Disease Requiring Chronic DialysisIndividuals with kidney failure receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) have high mortality rates, driven largely by cardiovascular causes. Volume-related factors are critical, modifiable contributors to cardiovascular complications. Reversing volume overload has been shown to improve blood pressure and cardiac remodeling. Use of loop diuretics may represent a pragmatic, low-cost, and low-burden strategy to improve outcomes in people receiving HD. Lack of data on optimal furosemide dosing, safety, and acceptability are barriers to expanded use. This study investigates whether oral furosemide is safe and effective at increasing urine volume in HD patients.
