N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and Kidney Graft Function
Brain DeathChronic Renal InsufficiencyThe goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) administration in organ donors on the kidney graft function of recipients.
Vitamin D and Chronic Renal Insufficiency
Vitamin D DeficiencyChronic Renal InsufficiencyPurpose of this study is to investigate the effect of treatment with vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) compared with placebo in a trial including chronic kidney disease patients with vitamin D deficiency.
Safety and Efficacy of Low Dose Hypertonic Saline Solution and High Dose Furosemide for Congestive...
Congestive Heart FailureRenal InsufficiencyThe purpose of this study is to compare high dose furosemide in combination with low volume hypertonic saline solution (2.4%) with intermittent pulse dose furosemide in patients with pre treatment kidney function impairment. The hypothesis is that it will provide effective diuretic response and have a beneficial effect on preservation of renal function as compared to pulse furosemide in patients with pre-treatment renal impairment (GFR < 60 mL/min).

Diabetes MellitusThe purpose of this study is to determine the metabolic and cardiovascular effects of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), and insulin combination therapy in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes and Renal Failure.
A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of VI-0521 Subjects With Renal Impairment
Renal ImpairmentVI-0521, a fixed dose combination of immediate-release (IR) phentermine and controlled-release (CR) topiramate, is in Phase III clinical development as a potential therapy for obesity. In human, both phentermine and topiramate are primarily cleared by renal excretion. The contribution of hepatic metabolism to elimination of phentermine and topiramate is not significant. Obese patients, the proposed indicated population for future treatment with VI-0521, are likely to have renal impairment. Therefore, this study is important in understanding the effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of topiramate and phentermine in subjects with renal impairment compared to subjects with normal renal function.
Clinical Evaluation of Low Sodium Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Solution on Hypertensive Patients Treated...
Chronic Kidney FailureThe aim of this study is to assess the superiority of the new low sodium peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution PDsol 12 in comparison with a conventional, already marketed solution, Gambrosol trio 40, in the treatment of the hypertensive peritoneal dialysis patients with aim to decrease hypertension and to improve the sodium/water balance.
Comparison of I.V. CTAP201 and Doxercalciferol (Hectorol) in Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease...
Chronic Kidney DiseaseSecondary Hyperparathyroidism2 moreThis study will compare CTAP201 with Doxercalciferol in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), undergoing regular hemodialysis, at different dose strengths. This study will also investigate the levels of CTAP201 in the body over time and determine the safety of CTAP201.
A Study of RO4998452 in Type 2 Diabetes Patients With Varying Degrees of Renal Impairment
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2This 4 arm study will investigate the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of RO4998452 in type 2 diabetes patients with varying degrees of renal impairment. Eligible patients will be divided into 4 groups, with normal renal function, or mild, moderate or severe renal impairment. All patients will receive a single oral dose of RO4998452 in the fasted state.The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months (single dose study)and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
