Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

The main aim and objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Non- surgical periodontal therapy on the subgingival microbiota and biochemical parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease and chronic periodontitis.

This is a multi-center, non-randomized, open-label, two-part study to investigate the effect of renal function and hemodialysis on PK of RO7079901. Part 1 will be conducted in adult male and female participants with stable mild, moderate or severe renal impairment and a control group of participants with normal renal function. Part 2 will be conducted in adult male and female participants with stable end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis.

This research project is being conducted to look at the pharmacokinetics (PK; how the human body processes a substance), safety, and tolerability of a single dose of ETX2514 and sulbactam (ETX2514SUL) when concurrently administered by separate intravenous (IV) infusion in participants with various degrees of renal impairment (RI), in participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on hemodialysis (HD), and in healthy matched control participants with normal renal function.

To study the tolerance and efficacy of an omega 3 fatty acids supplement on renal and vascular function and inflammatory parameters in patients with chronic renal disease

About 35% of patients hospitalized with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) have some degree of renal dysfunction. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not only associated to worse prognosis in ACS patients, but leads also to an increased risk of bleeding, which may importantly influence the risk-benefit ratio of antiplatelet therapy in this population. The responsible mechanisms for increased rate of ischemic events in this population are not completely elucidated. Antiplatelet therapy is of paramount importance in the treatment of ACS, but its benefit in CKD patients is not well established. This population is often excluded or underrepresented in large clinical trials, and the indication of antiplatelet therapy is often extrapolated from studies in patients with preserved renal function. In recent meta-analysis, Palmer et al. sought to evaluate the benefits and risks of antiplatelet agents in patients with CKD and concluded that in patients with ACS or scheduled for angioplasty already taking aspirin, the addition of clopidogrel or glycoprotein IIb / IIIa inhibitors have little or no impact in reducing the incidence of myocardial infarction, death or need for revascularization. In the PLATO trial, ticagrelor (a new reversible inhibitor of P2Y12 receptor with faster onset of action and greater platelet inhibition) was compared to clopidogrel in patients with high risk ACS and was associated to a 16% risk reduction on the occurrence of death from vascular causes, myocardial infarction, or stroke. In a pre-specified sub-analysis, data from patients with CKD were compared to those obtained from the population with normal renal function and suggests that the benefit of ticagrelor may be even greater in patients with CKD. Two hypotheses were considered to explain these results: Greater and more consistent platelet inhibition achieved with ticagrelor would be more effective in reducing ischemic events in this population at increased thrombotic risk; Pleiotropic effects of ticagrelor besides inhibition of the P2Y12 receptor. Ticagrelor might be associated with an elevation in serum levels of adenosine. This could improve myocardial perfusion through coronary vasodilation, and this effect would be more pronounced in patients with renal dysfunction. This project aims to validate (or not) these hypotheses, analyzing platelet aggregation and circulating adenosine levels in patients taking dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel or ticagrelor.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of renal and hepatic impairment on TAK-272 pharmacokinetics with a single oral administration of TAK-272 in participants with renal or hepatic impairment.

The purpose of this study is to validate in comparison to a reference method (inuline) two novel non-radioactive biomarkers for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement in chronic-kidney disease (CKD) patients and in healthy volunteers: Calcium-EDTA and Gd-DOTA.

The purpose of this study is to compare two different dosing methods of epoetin alfa and their effectiveness in maintaining hemoglobin levels between 10.0 to 11.0 g/dL in in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis.

To assess the influence of different degrees of renal impairment on safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of 1.0 mg of BIBT 986 BS given as a single dose infusion over 30 minutes in comparison to a normal renal function

Conversion of renal transplant recipients from either tacrolimus or cyclosporin A to tacrolimus modified release to investigate the effects of the MDR1/CYP450 genotype on the trough blood levels of tacrolimus with modified galenic (tacrolimus MR4; Advagraf®).
