Pilot Study of Imatinib Mesylate to Treat Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of imatinib mesylate in reducing cutaneous thickening and tethering in patients with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). The study will also work to assess the safety and tolerability of imatinib mesylate in patients with chronic kidney disease and NSF.

Treatment of Patients With Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis With Glivec

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis

The investigators will study the effect of imatinib mesylate (Glivec) in treatment of moderate to severe nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). So far there is no evidence of adequately effective treatment options of NSF. Various treatments have been tried to stop the progressing disease. Corticosteroids, which suppress the early inflammatory stage of the disease, fail to halt disease progression. Other immunosuppressive agents, photopheresis, and kidney transplantations are reported to be partly beneficial to the patients. It has not been possible to confirm these findings in further studies because in photopheresis, and kidney transplantation, such effects are generally unreproducible.

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF): Analysis of Tissue Gadolinium Levels

Nephrogenic Systemic FibrosisNephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy

The primary objective of this study is to determine any causative or associated factors for the development of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD), or related diagnosis. Our primary focus will be on the previous administration of gadolinium to these patients, but we will also look at other postulated causes and risk factors. The secondary objective of this study is to assess tissue gadolinium (Gd) levels in five groups of subjects: Those affected by NSF. Those with normal kidney function who have undergone a medical imaging procedure using Gd-based contrast agent (GBCA) in the 2 years prior to a skin biopsy. Those with normal kidney function who have never been exposed to GBCA and have had a skin biopsy. Those on dialysis or with eGFR ≤ 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 who have had a medical imaging procedure using GBCA in the 2 years prior to skin biopsy. Those on dialysis or with eGFR ≤ 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 who have never been exposed to GBCA and have had skin biopsy. We hypothesize that there is a correlation between the administration of Gd-containing agents usually associated with MRI procedures and the development of NSF in those with renal failure and some other predisposing condition. We also hypothesize that tissue Gd levels in those with NSF will be higher than in those who have been exposed to GBCA but do not have NSF. Of the two groups without NSF but with exposure to GBCA, we hypothesize that those with kidney dysfunction will have higher tissue Gd levels than those with normal kidney function. We hypothesize that in the two groups of subjects without exposure to GBCA, there will be no detectable levels of Gd, regardless of kidney function status.

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis With Gadollinum

Nephrogenic Systemic FibrosisRenal Failure

Recently there is increasing reports of NEPHROGENIIC SYSTEMIC FIBROSIS(NSF) in patients with severe renal failure mainly in patients under dialysis in whom gadollinum is being used. The investigators will evaluate the prevalence and severity of NSF in patients with different degree of renal failure whom underwent imaging with Gadolinum.

Prospective Evaluation of the Incidence of NSF in Patients With Kidney Disease Undergoing MR

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis

Phase 4, open-label, two-year, prospective, multi-center, follow-up study conducted at up 15 sites in USA. Approximately 1,000 patients with moderate-to-severe CKD will be enrolled and followed for up to 24 months.

Assess potential risk for NSF in subjects with renal impairment (moderate) post magnevist injection. Subjects will be screened within 48 hours of previously scheduled MRI, those meeting the enrollment criteria will be enrolled prior to MRI and followed for 2 years post MRI with visits occuring at 1yr and 2 yr timepoints, in addition follow-up phone calls conducted at 1, 3, 6 and 18 months to assess for skin changes suggestive of NSF.

Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of linear and macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents for patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency. The study will compare the incidence of adverse events of gadodiamide and gadoteric Acid Meglumine Salt for patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency undergoing enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

Renal Insufficiency

The objective of this long term study is to prospectively evaluate the incidence of NSF in patients with severe CKD or kidney failure including patients undergoing dialysis (stages 4 and 5 i.e., with an eGFR below 30)who have not had exposure to a GBCA within 10 years prior to enrollment.

Validation of a Questionnaire to Identify Signs and Symptoms of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis

The Primary Aim of this study is to validate a questionnaire as a screening tool to identify subjects with symptoms suggestive of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). The investigators believe that there will be difference between subjects with NSF and other skin conditions and normal skin.
