Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

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

This study will investigate how the levels of a single dose of CTAP101 changes in the body over time (pharmacokinetics, PK) and how CTAP101 affects other mineral and hormonal balances (pharmacodynamics, PD) in patients with Stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) with vitamin D insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).

Fondaparinux is a parenteral anticoagulant drug and is approved for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in high risk medical patients. A relevant proportion of medical patients have moderate to severe renal insufficiency, which is an independent risk factor for bleeding. This risk may be further increased when low molecular weight heparin or fondaparinux are administered in patients with severe renal insufficiency, defined by a creatinine clearance of lower than 30 mL/min. No clear indications are available to reduce such risk in patients who require thromboprophylaxis. A lower dose of fondaparinux, 1.5 mg daily, has been recently approved for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in the specific population of patients with a creatinine clearance between 20 and 50 mL/min (European Marketing Authorization). However, there are to our knowledge no clinical studies that have assessed the safety and efficacy of this reduced dosage in medical patients.

Patients with chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease have greater cardiovascular risk than the general population. Vitamin D analogues have been shown in observational studies to have mortality benefit for these patients. This study is designed to investigate doxercalciferol's effect on the vasculature (i.e. endothelial cell function) as a possible mechanism to explain the mortality benefit.

This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS in patients with chronic hepatitis C and end-stage renal disease, including patients on hemodialysis. Patients will receive PEGASYS at a dose of 180 micrograms weekly; those with a calculated glomerular filtration rate of <15mL/min will receive a reduced dose of 135 micrograms weekly. Following 48 weeks of treatment there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of Org 25969 in subjects with normal or impaired renal function and to evaluate the safety of Org 25969 in subjects with impaired renal function.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a colecalciferol substitution in dialysis patients on bone metabolism and immune system

The purpose of this study is to evaluate, on renal transplanted patients with CGD, the effect of two levels of haemoglobin on quality of life at 6 months and the speed of progression of renal function degradation at 24 months. This study will recruit 140 patients in 21 centers in France.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) levels at normal or sub-normal levels with Epoetin Alfa can influence the health status, left ventricular mass and quality of life of early renal insufficiency subjects without additional safety concerns.

This clinical trial is designed to provide additional information on the safety and tolerability of vildagliptin (50 mg once daily (qd)) and sitagliptin (25 mg qd) when used in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and severe renal insufficiency (Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 30 mL/min) for a period of 24 weeks.
