Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

Safety, Efficacy, PK and PD of CTAP101 (calcifediol) ER Capsules for SHPT in HD Patients VDI

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pegol-Sihematide, as compared with recombinant human erythropoietin injection (CHO Cell), ESPO, in anemia treatment in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease.

The TEAMMATE Trial will enroll 210 pediatric heart transplant patients from 25 centers at 6 months post-transplant and follow each patient for 2.5 years. Half of the participants will receive everolimus and low-dose tacrolimus and the other half will receive tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. The trial will determine which treatment is better at reducing the cumulative risk of coronary artery vasculopathy, chronic kidney disease and biopsy proven-acute cellular rejection without an increase in graft loss due to all causes (e.g. infection, PTLD, antibody mediated rejection).

The proposed research is clinical study evaluating the therapeutic benefits of resveratrol on vascular function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study aims to establish that resveratrol will improve endothelial function and functional performance by reducing oxidative stress and in conjunction with lowering markers of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of BION-1301 in healthy volunteers and adults with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN).

The TCM-WINE study is a single-center, prospective, double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial. Based on optimal supportive care, the trial is aiming to assess superiority with regard to renal protection and reduction of severe treatment-related adverse events of Yi-Qi-Qing-Jie formula (YQF) combined therapy compared with immunosuppression monotherapy in high-risk IgAN.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of belimumab and intravenous rituximab co-administration at inducing a complete remission (CR) compared to rituximab alone in participants with primary membranous nephropathy. Background: Primary membranous nephropathy (MN) is among the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. MN affects individuals of all ages and races. The peak incidence of MN is in the fifth decade of life. Primary MN is recognized to be an autoimmune disease, a disease where the body's own immune system causes damage to kidneys. This damage can cause the loss of too much protein in the urine. Drugs used to treat MN aim to reduce the attack by one's own immune system on the kidneys by blocking inflammation and reducing the immune system's function. These drugs can have serious side effects and often do not cure the disease. There is a need for new treatments for MN that are better at improving the disease while reducing fewer treatment associated side effects. In this study, researchers will evaluate if treatment with a combination of two different drugs, belimumab and rituximab, is effective at blocking the immune attacks on the kidney compared to rituximab alone. Rituximab works by decreasing a type of immune cell, called B cells. B cells are known to have a role in MN. Once these cells are removed, disease may become less active or even inactive. However, after stopping treatment, the body will make new B cells which may cause disease to become active again. Belimumab works by decreasing the new B cells produced by the body and, may even change the type of new B cells subsequently produced. Belimumab is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (also referred to as lupus or SLE). Rituximab is approved by the FDA to treat some types of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and vasculitis. Neither rituximab nor belimumab is approved by the FDA to treat MN. Treatment with a combination of belimumab and rituximab has not been studied in individuals with MN, but has been tested in other autoimmune diseases, including lupus nephritis and Sjögren's syndrome.

This 2-arm, multi-center, open-label, parallel-group phase II trial will assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of the human antibody MOR202 in subjects with anti-PLA2R antibody-positive membranous nephropathy indicated for immunosuppressive therapy

This is a Phase 3b, multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nefecon treatment in patients with IgAN who have completed the Phase 3 Study Nef-301 and continue to be treated with a stable dose of RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEIs and/or ARBs). Patients who previously received Nefecon in Study Nef-301 will receive retreatment, whereas patients who previously received placebo in Study Nef-301 will be treatment naïve to Nefecon.

The ALIGN Study is a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the efficacy and safety of atrasentan to placebo in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of progressive loss of renal function.
