Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether daptomycin at a higher dose given during the last 30 minutes of a dialysis session is equal to a lower dose of daptomycin given after a dialysis session.

The 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.

This 2 arm safety study will compare the outcome with respect to a composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke) in CKD participants either on dialysis or not receiving renal replacement therapy under treatment with methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta or reference ESAs. Participants will be randomized to receive intravenous (iv) or subcutaneous (sc) methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta at the following doses: for participants not already receiving ESA treatment, methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta will be administered at a starting dose of 0.6 micrograms per kilograms every 2 weeks (mcg/kg/2wks) iv or sc; for participants receiving maintenance ESA treatment, iv or sc methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta will be administered at an initial monthly dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms (mcg) depending on the weekly dose of ESA received prior to first methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta administration. Participants randomized to reference ESA treatment will receive iv or sc ESAs in accordance with their prescribed dosing information.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effects of different oral doses of roxadustat administered 2 times a week (BIW) or 3 times a week (TIW) for up to 4 weeks to participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not requiring dialysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two dosing regimens of FG-3019 administered over 12 weeks in patients with diabetic nephropathy and proteinuria on background angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and/or angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) therapy.

This study will investigate the levels of CTA018 in the body over time (pharmacokinetics, PK) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), undergoing regular hemodialysis. This study will also investigate the safety and effects of different strengths of CTA018, on parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.

Evaluate effectiveness of Carvedilol CR on Micro T-Wave Alternans in high risk hypertensives

This study will assess the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation (cholecalciferol; 2000 IU daily) on serum calcium levels, circulating vitamin D levels, and markers of kidney disease and cardiovascular risk among people with diabetes mellitus and early kidney disease. Eligibility criteria include type 2 diabetes and stage 1-2 chronic kidney disease, defined by a urine albumin-creatinine ratio 30-300 mg/g and an estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min. Participants will be randomly assigned to treatment with vitamin D3 or placebo, each taken by mouth once daily for a study duration of one year. Study medications will be added to standard treatment, including an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and/or angiotensin II receptor blocker. We hypothesize that vitamin D3, compared with placebo: (1) is well-tolerated and safe among people with diabetes and kidney disease; (2) results in adequate attained circulating vitamin D levels; and (3) positively affects markers of kidney disease and cardiovascular risk.

Evaluation of the efficacy of an immunosuppressive therapy added to a comprehensive supportive therapy to induce a clinical remission in patients at risk for progressive IgAN Investigation of differences between the treatments regarding the number of patients loosing more than 15 ml/min of GFR.

This is a PIII multi-center, open-label, flexible dose, long-term safety study, that in conjunction with the E07(NCT00416520), E08(NCT00542386) and E09(NCT00451295) studies will allow exposure to MCI-196 for up to 52 weeks
