Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

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.

This is a Phase II trial assessing the safety and preliminary efficacy of daily APL-2 subcutaneous infusion administered for 16 weeks with a 6 month safety follow up, in patients with glomerulopathies

Primary Objective: Evaluate the effect of Hectorol® capsules in reducing elevated levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). Secondary Objectives: Evaluate the safety profile of Hectorol® capsules versus Rocaltrol® (calcitriol) capsules. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 after administration of Hectorol®.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IONIS-FB-LRx, an antisense inhibitor of complement factor B messenger ribonucleic acid (CFB mRNA), and to evaluate the effect of IONIS-FB-LRx on plasma factor B (FB) levels and serum AH50, CH50 activity in participants with primary immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy.

To assess the safety and efficacy of up to two REACT injections given 6 months (+4 weeks) apart and delivered into the biopsied kidney using a percutaneous approach in participants with T2DM and CKD.

As Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progresses normophosphatemia is maintained by increasing the per nephron urinary phosphorus excretion. Clinically, hyperphosphatemia is associated with high mortality, vascular calcification, endothelial dysfunction and progression of left ventricular hypertrophy. Currently the treatment of hyperphosphatemia is first being initiated in stage 5 and consists of dietetic guidance to avoid dietary phosphate and treatment with oral phosphate binders. However, studies have shown important side effects to phosphate binders in terms of progression of vascular calcifications. Therefore, it might be beneficial to start the dietetic treatment with a reduction of dietary phosphate earlier in the disease stage. The aim of this project is to develop a New Nordic Renal Diet (NNRD) for CKD patients' stage 3-4 and to examine the long-term effects in a period of 26-weeks. NNRD has a high content of vegetable foods, less animal products and more local food items with a lesser content of phosphorus.

RDN-CKD Study is a prospective, randomized (1:1, central randomization), double-blind (unblinded interventionalist and blinded study team at each center), sham controlled, multicenter feasibility study. The purpose of the RDN-CKD Study is to demonstrate that renal denervation (RDN) effectively reduces 24-h ambulatory BP in 80 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3a or 3b.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VIS649 in participants with immunoglobulin A (IgA) Nephropathy (IgAN)

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (non-diabetic CKD). The trial treatment, finerenone, is being developed to help people who have long lasting kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by blocking a certain hormone called aldosterone that causes injury and inflammation in the heart and kidney which is known to play a role in CKD. In this trial, the researchers want to learn if finerenone helps to slow down the worsening of the participants' non-diabetic CKD compared to a placebo. A placebo looks like a trial treatment but does not have any medicine in it. The trial will include about 1,580 men and women who are at least 18 years old. The participants will take finerenone or a placebo once a day as tablets by mouth. All of the participants will also continue to take their current medicine for their CKD. The participants will be in the trial for up to about 50 months. During the trial, the doctors will collect blood and urine samples and check the participants' health. The participants will also answer questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is a medical problem that happens during the trial. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in trials, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the trial treatments.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and durability of up to two REACT injections delivered percutaneously into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys on renal function progression in two different cohorts of subjects with T1DM or T2DM and CKD.
