Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Nephropathies"

Title: Antialbuminuric effect of valsartan, lisinopril and valsartan versus lisinopril in non-diabetic and diabetic renal disease: a randomized (3:3:1), open label, parallel group, 20 weeks follow-up. Objective: To evaluate the antialbuminuric effect of high doses of valsartan vs lisinopril vs combo treatment in non-diabetic and diabetic patients. Hypothesis: Combo treatment reduces microalbuminuria and the albumin/creatinine ratio more than monotherapies.. Design: Multicentric, randomized, open label, parallel group, active controlled. Dose / regimen: Valsartan 320 vs Lisinopril 40 vs Valsartan/lisinopril 160/20 Primary Endpoint: Antialbuminuric effect of valsartan 320 mg, lisinopril and valsartan versus lisinopril 40 mg in non-diabetic and diabetic renal disease following 5 months of follow-up. Description % of change in albuminuria from baseline at 20 weeks. Secondary Endpoint : To investigate the effect of 5 months treatment with valsartan,lisinopril and valsartan versus lisinopril in GFR (Cl creatinine), also to investigate the effect of 5 months treatment with valsartan, lisinopril and valsartan plus lisinopril on blood pressure and the effect on left ventricular mass index using electrocardiogram and Cornell-Sokolow method.

This randomized study evaluates the effect of subcutaneous semaglutide /in combination with lifestyle counseling in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), overweight/obesity, and stage 4-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) or dialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on patients' eligibility for kidney transplantation at the end of 9 months.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of partial correction of anemia with Darbepoetin alfa to a target of 11 g.dL (female) or 12 g/dL (male) on the reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and total mortality.

The primary purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and tolerability of Niaspan® to improve the levels of blood fats ("good" and "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels) in people who have kidney damage due to diabetes. A secondary goal is to test whether Niaspan® slows down further development of kidney damage.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of valsartan, benazepril or the combination of both in reduction of microalbuminuria in Type 2 diabetic patients.

The Researchers will assess the safety, tolerability, dosing effect, and early signals of efficacy of intra-arterially delivered autologous (from self) adipose (fat) tissue-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) in patients with progressive diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

In type 1 diabetes (T1DM), automated insulin delivery (AID) systems such as the hybrid closed loop artificial pancreas (HCL AP) combine the use of an insulin pump, continuous blood sugar monitor, and control algorithm to adjust background insulin delivery to improve time in target blood sugar range. Systems such as the predictive low glucose suspend system (PLGS) pause insulin delivery to try and reduce low blood sugars. We aim to complete a pilot study involving recruitment of youth ages 7 to 18 years from the following groups with type 1 diabetes: control participants consisting of youth on either multiple daily insulin injections or conventional insulin pump therapy that plan to continue with their current treatment modality, youth being transitioned to the HCL AP system, and youth being transitioned to the PLGS system. Individuals will be recruited into each of the aforementioned study groups based on their own expressed desire to either continue on MDI/standard insulin pump therapy or transition to either the HCL AP or PLGS systems. The decision to either continue with current therapy or transition therapy will remain entirely up to the participant and their family and will be based on personal preference and insurance coverage for that individual. We will not be randomizing the participants to any given treatment group during this study but rather will be recruiting based on the participant's decision. We would like to complete a physical exam with pubertal staging, collect blood and urine samples to evaluate cardiometabolic and renal markers, and complete a DXA scan to evaluate total lean and fat mass. After 3-6 months of either continuation of current treatment with either multiple daily insulin injections or conventional insulin pump therapy or transitioning to the HCL AP or PLGS systems, we would like to repeat the previously described blood, urine, and imaging tests for comparison. We are interested in examining the impact of the HCL AP and PLGS systems on maintaining blood sugars in target range, insulin sensitivity, and markers of cardiometabolic and renal function. We hypothesize that pauses in insulin delivery, as seen in the setting of automated insulin delivery systems, will result in improvements in insulin sensitivity, cardiometabolic markers, and renal function markers.

Based upon the preclinical evidence in models of diabetic nephropathy under conditions approximating both type I and II diabetes, treatment with alagebrium appears to have favorable and advantageous effects on the biochemical, structural, pathological and functional hallmarks of diabetic nephropathy. The renoprotective effects of alagebrium in preclinical models favor the evaluation of this drug in patients with type I diabetes.

The individualized drug delivery system of levetiracetam based on population pharmacokinetics and quantitative pharmacology model in patients with epilepsy complicated by diabetic kidney disease was established. To clarify the clinical feasibility of model-based individualized drug administration scheme.
