Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

A randomized clinical trial for patients with end stage renal disease in which a family consultation condition is compared against a treatment as usual control condition on the hospital readmissions after 1 month as the primary outcome variable.

The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate whether, in addition to standard of care, finerenone is superior to placebo in delaying the progression of kidney disease, as measured by the composite endpoint of time to first occurrence of kidney failure, a sustained decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death.

The main purpose is to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, maximum concentration (Cmax) and Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC0-t) of Triferic iron administered intraperitoneally in patients with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis (CKD-5 PD). It is an open label, dose escalation study.

This is a novel, non-invasive method of assessing Ca balance by natural Ca isotope fractionation.

Prospective, multicenter, randomized and open label study evaluating the benefit on renal function at 12 months post-transplantation, with an immunosuppression without calcineurin inhibitor at 3 months and combining mycophenolate sodium-Everolimus versus an immunosuppression combining Everolimus-Tacrolimus, in de novo renal transplant patients.

This study evaluates how aspirin, clopidogrel and ticagrelor work in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to people with normal kidneys. In the first part of the study, half of CKD participants will be randomly assigned to ticagrelor and aspirin, while the other half will be assigned to clopidogrel and aspirin in a blinded fashion. The treatment duration will be two weeks. After recruiting CKD participants the investigator will recruit controls with normal kidney function that will receive only ticagrelor and aspirin for two weeks.

This study is open to adults who have kidney disease that is not caused by diabetes. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 685509 improves kidney function. Three different doses of BI 685509 are tested in this study. Participants get either one of the three doses of BI 685509 or placebo. It is decided by chance who gets which BI 685509 dose and who gets placebo. Participants take BI 685509 or placebo as tablets 3 times a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 685509 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants continue taking their usual medicine for kidney disease throughout the study. Participants are in the study for about 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 11 times. Where possible, about 6 of the 11 visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. The trial staff may also contact the participants by phone or video call. Kidney function is assessed based on the analysis of urine samples, which participants collect at home. At the end of the trial the results are compared between the different doses of BI 685509 and placebo. During the study, the doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in glycemia during the whole hemodialysis day and the whole freeday during hemodialysis, during the evening and the night after hemodialysis and at the same time intervals during the freeday in an unselected type 2 diabetic patient group using both glucose-containing and glucose-free dialysate.

Dialysis access, which is the connection that allows blood to flow in and out of the body during dialysis sessions, is important to remove wastes and excess fluid for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). One method used to access the vein and artery for dialysis is called a brachiocephalic fistula. Patients are being asked to participate in this study because they have endstage renal disease, and their doctor has recommended that they will have brachiocephalic fistula placed for their dialysis access. A common problem seen in patients with a brachiocephalic fistula (BCF) is cephalic arch stenosis (CAS). CAS is a narrowing in the central vein (located in the upper chest). CAS causes problems with the opening of the veins and arteries needed for dialysis. Once someone suffers CAS they may need several radiology procedures as well as surgery to help correct the problem. The BCF may fail once CAS develops. The purpose of the research study is to gather information about the BCF and what is happening inside the vein. The researchers hope to find out what may be the cause of CAS.

The study hypothesis under test is that administration of a CCR2/5 antagonist to subjects with type 2 diabetes and overt nephropathy will result in a reduction in urinary albumin, a surrogate for improved glomerular filtration.
