Genetic Testing to Understand and Address Renal Disease Disparities Across the United States

Renal Disease

The primary aim is to determine the effect of participant and provider knowledge of a positive APOL1 status and accompanying guideline based clinical decision support (CDS) on blood pressure management on change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to 3 months after randomization among the APOL1 positive participants. Secondary aims are to: Determine the effect of participant and provider knowledge of a positive APOL1 status on the probability of appropriate CKD diagnosis. Determine the effect of participant and provider knowledge of a positive APOL1 status on the probability of receiving a urine microalbumin/creatinine testing and ACE-I/ARB prescription based on results of the urine microalbumin level. Explore cost effectiveness, mediators, moderators, psychobehavioral impact of results disclosure on participants, and effects of participant and provider knowledge of APOL1 status on provider treatment recommendations. PGX Substudy In addition, GUARDD-US will include a substudy to determine the effect of knowledge of genetic test results that predict efficacy of various antihypertensive medications on change in SBP from baseline to 3 months in APOL1 negative individuals. Approximately 6,650 participants of African ancestry age 18-70 with hypertension that either: 1) do not have diabetes and do not have CKD, or 2) have CKD. Participants with diabetes may be included as long as they also have CKD. Population for Main Study: Participants from Randomized Population (above) who test positive for APOL1 Population for PGx Substudy: Participants from Randomized Population (above) randomized to Intervention and who test negative for APOL1 Main Study Analyses: To determine the effect of participant and provider knowledge of a positive APOL1 status on SBP, we will compare the change in SBP from baseline to 3 months of the Intervention - APOL1 positive group to the change in SBP from baseline to 3 months of the Control - APOL1 positive group using a two sided t-test, as appropriate, with a two-sided type I error of 0.05. The effect of knowledge of a positive APOL1 status on all secondary endpoints will be compared between Intervention - APOL1 positives to Control - APOL1 positives with the proportion difference test. Additional analyses will include analysis of time trends in SBP, subset analyses, and exploratory analyses of cost effectiveness, mediators, moderators, psychobehavioral impact of results disclosure on participants, and effects of knowledge of APOL1 status on provider treatment recommendations. Substudy Analyses: All primary and secondary endpoint analyses conducted for the APOL1 main study will be repeated for the PGx substudy focusing on differences in outcomes between APOL1 negative individuals with immediate PGx ROR (PGx Intervention) and APOL1 negative individuals with delayed PGx ROR (PGx Control).

EMPA-KIDNEY (The Study of Heart and Kidney Protection With Empagliflozin)

Chronic Kidney Disease

The primary aim of the study is to investigate the effect of empagliflozin on kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death versus placebo on top of standard of care in patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease. After completion of the interventional part of the study (primary study completion) a subset of participants will be followed up in a post-trial observational (non-interventional) manner for cardio-renal outcomes (estimated study completion date).

Savolitinib vs. Sunitinib in MET-driven PRCC.

CarcinomaCarcinoma7 more

This study is designed for patients diagnosed with MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational new anti-cancer medication, savolitinib, is effective in treating patients with MET-driven PRCC, how it compares with another medication frequently used to treat this disease called sunitinib, and what side effects it might cause.

A Study of Cemdisiran in Adults With Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN)

IgA Nephropathy (IgAN)Berger Disease2 more

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of cemdisiran on proteinuria in adults with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), who excrete >1 gram (gm) of protein per day despite standard of care, which includes treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). These patients are at high risk for progression of kidney disease, which can result in end-stage renal failure.

Effect of Allopurinol on Markers of Mineral and Bone Metabolism

Chronic Kidney DiseasesOsteodystrophy3 more

Hyperuricemia is a common condition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the glomerular filtration rate. Recently, it has been suggested that uric acid is related to a mineral and bone disease of CKD (CKD-MBD) since the high concentration of uric acid is associated with the harmful effect of vitamin D. The proof of concept of the association between acid uric acid and CKD-MBD is based on a prospective study (sample size 6) that observed, after 1 week of use of allopurinol, an increase in the concentration of 1,25(2D, a result independent of the concentration of calcium, phosphorus, 25(OH)D and PTH. An experimental study found that hyperuricemia could modify the expression of the 1α-hydroxylase enzyme, consequently reducing 1,25(OH). The current study aims to evaluate the action of allopurinol on CKD-MBD biomarkers (25(OH)-vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D, FGF-23, PTH, calcium and phosphorus). We hypothesize that allopurinol can improve serum levels of 1,25(OH) 2D and PTH. This is a controlled, randomized, double-blind study, defined as a filtration rate < 60ml/1.73 m², according to the CKD-EPI equation. Inclusion criteria: patients with stages III, IV and V CKD who are not on dialysis with a serum level of 25(OH)-vitamin D >20 ng/ml. Exclusion criteria: Patients diagnosed with gout, undergoing treatment with allopurinol, patients already in use and drugs with sensitivity to the drug. Based on a previous study, we calculated a sample for 2 groups (placebo and drug) with pre and post-measurements (a total of 4). Considering a standard deviation of 4 and a difference of 7 in the treated group, 3 in the placebo group, and an alpha error of 5%, we calculated a sample of 25 patients in each arm.

PR-0164 First in Human Clinical Trial of the PAVmed PortIO Intraosseous Infusion System

Chronic Kidney Disease stage3Chronic Kidney Disease stage42 more

The PortIO is intended to provide non-emergent vascular access in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients where preservation of venous anatomy is desired and iatrogenic damage to the veins should be avoided and/or patients with poor/difficult vascular access. The PortIO device may be inserted into the proximal or distal tibia or the proximal humerus in adults, and provides up to 60 days of intraosseous vascular access for delivery of fluids and medications.
