Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

This is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label study to evaluate vadadustat versus epoetin alfa for the treatment of anemia in subjects with Dialysis-dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (DD-CKD) who are hyporesponsive to erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs.)

In the past two decades, the prevalence of obesity in the US has increased from 23.2% to 32.9%. This epidemic is fueling the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) epidemic. This likely is the major challenge facing the nephrology community in the next decade and beyond. This pilot study is designed to test the feasibility of the Sit Less, Interact, Move More (SLIMM) intervention and to determine its preliminary impact on light physical activity (PA) levels. Increasing light PA may have significant impact on both obesity and slowing the progression of CDK.

This trial is to establish whether ultrafiltration by peritoneal dialysis is a clinically effective treatment for patients with severe heart failure and moderate chronic kidney disease, thus improving quality of life and symptoms.

This is an exploratory, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter, proof of concept study (Phase 2a), evaluating orally administered GLPG2737 for a double-blind (DB) treatment period of 52 weeks and 4 weeks of follow up as well as an open-label extension (OLE) treatment period of 52 weeks and 4 weeks of follow-up, in subjects with rapidly progressing ADPKD.

This is a global, multi-center, prospective, post-market, confirmatory, interventional, non-randomized, single-arm clinical investigation evaluating arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation by means of the WavelinQ™ EndoAVF System in patients who require a vascular access for hemodialysis (HD).

This is an open-label Phase 2 study evaluating the long term safety and tolerability of GFB-887 in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and treatment-resistant minimal change disease (TR-MCD)

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with chronic kidney diseases. Before a treatment can be approved for patients to take, researchers do clinical studies to better understand its safety and what happens to the drug in the body. In this study researchers will investigate how the liver function influences blood concentrations of runcaciguat in participants with different degrees of liver impairment compared to participants with normal liver function. The participants will all take one tablet with 15 mg runcaciguat by mouth. Prior to inclusion into the study, all participants will have a screening examination within 21 to 2 days prior to dosing to check eligibility for study participation. During the study, all of the participants will stay at the study site for up to 8 days (from Day -1 to Day 7), whereby Day 6 and 7 might also be performed in an ambulatory setting. Blood and urine samples will be collected. The physician will check the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) and by measuring blood pressure and heart rate. The participants will answer questions about their wellbeing and taken medications. The participants will have a follow-up examination 7 to 11 days after dosing to follow-up their health. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 5 weeks. The entire study will last about 9 months.

This is a Phase 3, open-label, repeat-dose study designed to assess liver safety, non-liver safety, and efficacy of lixivaptan in participants who previously experienced liver chemistry test abnormalities while treated with tolvaptan and were permanently discontinued from the drug for that reason. Up to 50 eligible participants will be enrolled and treated with lixivaptan for 52 weeks following titration to an optimal dose.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects around 10% of the adult population and is associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and end stage kidney disease (ESKD). This study aims to better predict who is most likely to progress to ESKD using previously identified risk factors and novel biomarkers in blood and urine samples, along with kidney biopsy tissue. Resources can then be directed to those most at risk of disease progression and other associated conditions such as heart attack and stroke, while those at lower risk can be offered less frequent monitoring.

The primary objective was to characterize corrected serum calcium levels on treatment with cinacalcet in pediatric patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT).
