Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

This study seeks to determine if administration of the drug belumosudil (KD025) will be safe and improve transplant tolerance in subjects undergoing combined Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) single haplotype-matched related or 0-3 antigen (at A, B, C, DR) HLA mismatched unrelated living donor kidney and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Wahsed microbiota transplantation (WMT) is a novel and promising therapeutic method for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This clinical trail aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WMT in the treatment of CKD.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of a dwell time (bath) of 24 hours using a 500 ml sodium-free peritoneal dialysis solution based on 30% icodextrin and 10% dextrose in patients with chronic kidney failure undergoing peritoneal dialysis

This Phase 1b study of DISC-0974 will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of DISC-0974 in adult participants with Non-Dialysis Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease and Anemia.

This study is to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) of SER150 administered for 24 weeks as a 15 mg twice a day (BID) dose in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and macroalbuminuria in treatment with either an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or an angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARB).

Idiopathic immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common biopsy-proven glomerulonephritis in the world. Approximately 40% of IgAN patients reach end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) 20 years after their kidney biopsy. The high prevalence of ESKD suggests the need to move from a generalized therapy for all patients to personalized therapy. Many RCTs have been conducted stratifying patients based on the laboratory findings (serum creatinine, eGFR and daily proteinuria). In contrast, data from the kidney biopsy has been used only for clinical diagnosis. Therefore, IgAN patients with active or chronic renal lesions have not been equally distributed in experimental and control arms of the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) Our clinical study of IgAN (CLIgAN) is a multicentre, prospective, controlled and open-label randomized clinical trial based on patients' stratification at the time of their kidney biopsy. The investigators will consider, first, the type of renal lesions followed by the serum creatinine values, eGFR and proteinuria. IgAN patients with active renal lesions (n=132) will be enrolled in the first RCT (ACIgAN) in which they will receive corticosteroids (pulse therapy) plus oral corticosteroids combined with RASB or RASB followed by oral corticosteroids. IgAN patients with chronic or moderate renal lesions at high or very high risk of chronic renal disease (n=294) will be enrolled in the second RCT (CHRONIgAN) in which they will receive the SGLT2 inhibitor combined with RASB compared with RASB combined with oral corticosteroids. Using this approach, the investigators hypothesize that patients could receive personalized therapy based on renal lesions to ensure that the right drug gets to the right patient at the right time. Recently, we developed a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) tool using artificial intelligence (artificial neural networks) to identify IgAN patients at high risk of developing ESKD. The IgAN tool (DialCheck) was validated in a retrospective cohort of IgAN patients but not in a prospective clinical study. The investigators propose to measure the power of the DiaCheck tool in patients enrolled in both RCTs to determine whether personalized therapy can slow the decline of the renal function to delay the ESKD. The CLIgAN study also includes a cutting-edge molecular study for precision therapy (PRECIgAN).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of tolvaptan on the need for renal replacement therapy in pediatric subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)

This study is a 1:1 randomized controlled trial with an intervention for 18 months and a follow up period of 12 months. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of recombinant human parathyroid hormone for treatment of adynamic bone disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease.

The VA health care system uses a health promotion-focused model which aims to provide longitudinal care through a patient-aligned care team for Veterans with chronic kidney disease. Since the largest subpopulation of Veterans with chronic kidney disease is comprised of those not requiring dialysis, neuromuscular screening assessments may provide valuable information regarding an individual overall health status and potential for future complications. Furthermore, identifying at risk individuals early in the disease process will allow for the prescription of timely interventions. Exercise strategies such as combination exercise, which uses flywheel resistance plus aerobic exercise, may provide a valuable treatment option for combating neuromuscular dysfunction and functional decline in patients with chronic kidney disease.

People with kidney failure requiring dialysis have a much higher risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) disease compared with the general population. A cardiac cause accounts for 58% of all deaths in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD). At the same time, this population has increased risks of clotting as well as bleeding episodes. While aspirin is known to reduce cardiovascular complications in the general population, evidence to support the use of aspirin in people with ESKD receiving dialysis therapy is currently lacking. The ASPIrin to Reduce Event in Dialysis (ASPIRED) trial will test whether aspirin use in dialysis patients safely improves outcomes compared with no aspirin use.
