Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

An Open-Label, Repeated-Dose Safety, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of Oral CTAP101 Capsules, Immediate- Release (IR) Calcifediol, High-Dose Cholecalciferol, and Paricalcitol Plus Low-Dose Cholecalciferol in Patients with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, Stage 3 or 4 Chronic Kidney Disease and Vitamin D Insufficiency

The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate efficacy and safety of intravenous CKD-11101 versus Darbepoetin alfa in patients who have renal anemia receiving hemodialysis.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of MT-6548 in peritoneal dialysis subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease

The purpose of the trial is the analysis of safety and efficacy of the chymase inhibitor BAY1142524 at a dose of 25 mg BID in comparison to placebo using a 6 months treatment period in type II diabetic patients with a clinical diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease. BAY1142524 or placebo will be given on top of evidence-based standard of care for diabetic kidney disease. Primary objective is the analysis of first signs of efficacy as determined by favourable changes in urinary albumin creatinine ratio. Secondary objective is the analysis of safety and tolerability as evidenced by the incidence and severity of adverse events. 64 valid patients have to complete treatment with verum and 32 valid patients have to complete treatment with placebo.

Anticalin® proteins are engineered human proteins that are able to bind specific target molecules. The Anticalin PRS-080#022-DP to be investigated in this study is directed against hepcidin and is intended for the treatment of anemia of chronic disease. This pilot Phase 2a study shall investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of repeated administrations of PRS-080#022-DP in anemic stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis.

This study aims to demonstrate the possible benefit of a treatment based on double diuretic in patients with chronic kidney disease and severely impaired glomerular filtration rate. This is based on previous observations where the investigators found that volume overload is a frequent condition within this population and is strongly linked to an increase in morbidity and mortality. The investigators consider that this therapy could be beneficial given that most of these patients are treated with loop diuretics, however, with the passage of time, adaptive changes in the distal nephron occur that promote a decrease in the treatment effect. In this sense, thiazide diuretics at appropriate doses could 'break' the resistance, since their mechanism of action antagonizes the resistance mechanism. Unfortunately, to this day, this treatment has not been fully evaluated. Particularly in this type of population. The investigators developed a study proposed as a double blind randomized clinical trial, where the population will be divided into two groups. A group will be given the standard treatment based on loop diuretic (bumetanide), while the other group will receive the intervention (bumetanide plus chlorthalidone). After a 30-day follow-up period, the results will be measured. With respect to the effectiveness of the treatment, the decrease in volume overload by bioimpedance will be measured. While the occurrence of adverse effects during the same monitoring period will be observed.

To evaluate the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of tolvaptan when administered to slow the progression of cyst development and renal function insufficiency in adult Korean patients diagnosed with rapidly progressive ADPKD who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-3 at initiation of treatment.

Study design: Phase II study, randomized, double-blind, unicentric, two-arm, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Methods and participants: Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease G2-G5 with proteinuria without renal replacement therapy, who come to the clinic of renal health clinic of the Fray Antonio Alcalde civil hospital. As criteria for non-inclusion, need for dialysis, primary hypothyroidism or pre-existing thyroid disease, ischemic heart disease in a period less than 6 months, arrhythmia, pregnancy, use of drugs that interact with synthesis of thyroid hormones, do not accept informed consent, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) <2.5 uiml / L or TSH> 10 uiml / L.

The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Trial is a multicenter randomized clinical trial for men and women aged 18-70 years with chronic renal disease who are not on dialysis and who have not had a kidney transplant. Study participants are randomized in a 2 × 2 factorial design to diets containing different amounts of protein and phosphorus and to two levels of blood pressure control. The prescribed modifications differ depending on the level of a patient's kidney function. The primary outcome variable to compare diet or blood pressure groups is each patient's slope (or the change) in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with time.

End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a significant, expensive health problem. Kidney transplantation improves survival, quality of life, and is much cheaper than dialysis treatment for ESKD. However sometimes kidney transplants from a deceased donor function poorly after surgery, and a period of continued dialysis is needed, a condition known as delayed graft function (DGF). In addition to complicating recovery, DGF can adversely affect long-term kidney function and the health of the recipient. Intravenous fluids given during and after transplantation (usually 0.9% sodium chloride or saline) are critical to preserve kidney transplant function, but there is evidence that 0.9% saline may not be the safest fluid to use due to its high chloride content. BEST Fluids is a randomised controlled trial that aims to find out whether using a balanced low-chloride solution - Plasma-Lyte 148® - as an alternative to normal saline in deceased donor kidney transplantation, will improve kidney transplant function, reduce the impact of DGF, and improve long-term outcomes for patients.
