Active clinical trials for "Kidney Failure, Chronic"

Prospective, nonrandomized, single-arm, single-center, open-label, initial safety study in subjects requiring hemodialysis. Subjects will be followed with physical evaluation and ultrasound vessel imaging at days 15, 29, 57 and weeks 12, 26. Extended follow up on patent conduits only at weeks 52 and 104.

The purpose of this study is to find out if empagliflozin, a new diabetic medication that has been shown to be very effective in lowering the risk of heart failure, is safe and tolerated in dialysis patients. In the recent years, empagliflozin has become a major tool to prevent heart failure hospitalization and to reduce the risk for cardiovascular death in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Although patients with severe chronic kidney disease and ESKD have very high risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death, they have been excluded from all of the previous studies. If this medication is found to be well tolerated and safe in dialysis patients through this study, future clinical studies can evaluate if this medication can also reduce the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death in dialysis patients.

The main goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety of the Qidni/D Hemodialysis System in patients with end-stage renal disease. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the Qidni/D safe for performing hemodialysis? Participants will be subjected to one treatment of hemodialysis for up to 4 hours with the use of the Qidni/D.

A prospective, single arm, non-randomized pivotal study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Xeltis hemodialysis access graft in subjects older than 18 years with end-stage renal disease, who plan to undergo hemodialysis for at least the first 6 months after study access creation.

To verify the efficacy of recombinant erythropoiesis stimulating protein injection (CHO cell) in hemodialysis patients with chronic renal failure anemia maintenance treatment is not inferior to yibio.

Investigators know that many patients who are on dialysis suffer from the burden of unwanted symptoms, which can affect quality of life. In this study, the investigators will be assessing symptom burden using the London Evaluation of Illness "LEVIL," an application based platform where patients self-report their symptoms with at least one hemodialysis treatment. The investigators would like to compare the currently available dialyzer with a new dialyzer that is capable of removing solutes of higher molecular weight that may or may not cause patients to experience symptoms related to increased amounts of these toxins in their blood.

The main purpose is to determine the safety of Triferic iron administered via dialysate and intravenously in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease on chronic hemodialysis (CKD-5HD). It is a global, multi- center, open-label study.

A functioning dialysis access is critical to the delivery of hemodialysis therapy in patients with End Stage Renal Disease. Stenosis secondary to neo-intimal hyperplasia frequently occur within the dialysis access, resulting in dysfunction. Conventional balloon angioplasty is the current standard of care for treatment of stenosis but is associated with high rate of recurrence. Paclitaxel coated balloon has been shown to be superior to conventional balloon angioplasty in dialysis access interventions but recent meta-analysis has shown an increase in mortality when paclitaxel coated balloon and stents are used in lower limb angioplasty. Sirolimus coated angioplasty balloon are second generation drug coated balloon that have been shown to be effective in coronary artery interventions. Sirolimus is cytostatic in nature with good safety profile. In our pilot study, sirolimus coated balloon has been shown to be safe and effective in the salvaged of thrombosed arteriovenous graft. Therefore, the investigators are conducting a double-blinded, multi-center randomised control trial to compare the 6 month patency of arteriovenous fistula after intervention with sirolimus coated balloon versus conventional balloon angioplasty. The investigators hypothesise that the addition of SCB after successful balloon angioplasty with conventional plain balloon is superior to conventional plain balloon angioplasty alone with decreased restenosis of the treated lesion, improved access circuit and treated lesion patency, and decreased number of interventions needed to maintain patency.

Protein-energy wasting (PEW), a hypercatabolic state characterized by loss of muscle mass and fuel reserves, is highly prevalent in hemodialysis patients. Nutritional status and body composition are closely linked to morbidity, mortality and quality of life. Lean tissue mass (LTM) appears to be the best read-out for the association between nutritional status and outcomes. Intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) is occasionally used with the aim to reduce loss of LTM, but its efficacy has not been established. The goal of this study is to study the effect of IDPN on changes in LTM in hemodialysis patients.

Objective: To verify the efficacy and safety of denosumab in the prevention and treatment of CKD-MBD in CKD patients with high risk of fracture. Methods: A cohort of CKD patients with high risk of fracture was established and followed up for long periods (≥24 months). Patients with CKD3b-5D stage and fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) scores at high risk or very high risk of fracture were enrolled. A multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomised controlled, interventional study was conducted. The patients were divided into two groups. The patients in the denosumab group received subcutaneous injection of denosumab 60mg once every 6 months, and the patients in the non-denosumab group received conventional treatment. Bone metabolic markers (serum calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b, osteocalcin, total N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen, etc.), bone mineral density (dual-energy X-ray, quantitative CT), and vascular calcification score were regularly monitored. All adverse events (all-cause death, cardiovascular death, cardiac events, fracture, hospitalization, emergency department visits, etc.) were recorded during the follow-up period. Bone mineral density and clinical parameters were compared between the two groups.
