Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

This is an open-label study that will measure blood levels of different parts of a drug called GKS189075. People participating in this study will receive a single dose of 250mg GSK189075 by mouth. About 20 people with mild to moderate decrease in renal (kidney) function will be asked to participate in this study. They will be compared to about 20 healthy participants who are close to the same age and body size. People participating in this study will stay at a clinical research unit beginning 2 days before they receive their single dose of GSK189075 and will remain there until approximately one day after receiving the study drug. During this study urine will be collected beginning the day before receiving study drug until the day after, just prior to leaving the clinical research unit. Blood samples will also be collected at various times beginning immediately before until 24 hours after receiving the study drug.

This is a multi-center, open-labeled, non-comparative study to examine the safety and efficacy of ASP1585 for long-term dosing in chronic kidney disease and hyperphosphatemia patients on hemodialysis.

The objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of avanafil in subjects with mild and moderate renal impairment and to assess the safety and toleration of avanafil in subjects with mild and moderate renal impairment.

Renal transplantation is characterized by ischemia-reperfusion lesions in allograft. In a previous study, Julier and al. (Anesthesiology 2003) have demonstrated that sevoflurane reduces glomerular lesions in kidney of patients undergoing a cardiovascular surgery and présenting with ischemia-reperfusion phenomena. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on the recovery of renal graft function in patients after kidney transplantation. This study will be a randomized, double blinded, controlled clinical trial and 120 patients undergoing renal allograft transplantation will be included. Patients will be divided into 2 groups: one group of patients who will receive sevoflurane (evaluated treatment) for anaesthesia and the other one who will receive propofol (reference treatment). We will evaluate renal function for one year after transplantation. Ours results will confirm or not that sevoflurane protects kidney function from ischemia-reperfusion lesions.

The objective of the study is to compare the safety of innohep® and Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) in terms of clinically relevant bleedings in elderly patients with impaired renal function for initial treatment of acute Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). The primary response criterion is the percentage of patients with clinically relevant bleeding events prior to day 90 +/- 5.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how subjects with mild or moderate kidney problems process or breakdown the study drug GW679769 in their bodies as compared to healthy subjects.

Patients with kidney failure have a poor survival rate that is due to a much higher than average rate of heart and vascular disease. The reason that kidney failure causes heart disease is unknown but recent research suggests that a hormone called aldosterone, which is increased in patients with kidney disease may damage the heart and blood vessels. The investigators propose, using a randomized blinded trial, to find out whether drugs that inhibit the actions of aldosterone have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system in patients with kidney failure

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and clinical outcome of Epoetin alfa with dosing regime in accordance with Summary of Product Characteristics in the treatment of anemia in predialysis.

To assess the effect of Aranesp on the hemoglobin (Hgb) of CRI subjects who are recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO)-naïve or converting from rHuEPO therapy.

The purpose of this study in early hemodialysis patients (on dialysis 3 to 18 months) is to assess the effect of correction versus partial correction of anemia using epoetin alfa on heart pumping function.
