Active clinical trials for "Nephrotic Syndrome"

In a monocentric, later multicentric prospective approach the FOrMe registry (The German Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Minimal Change Disease Registry) aims to generate a longitudinal cohort of 150 pediatric cases of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and 350 adult cases of biopsy-proven Minimal Change Disease (MCD) or Focal and Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis (FSGS) over 10 years. The registry will provide a repository for biomaterials such as blood samples, DNA, urine, feces, and tissue biopsies that will be accessible to collaborators to facilitate future research on pathogenesis, diagnostics, and treatment.

Researchers from the University of Michigan and Northwestern University are studying people's experiences with swelling caused by Nephrotic Syndrome. Interviews with patients (child and adult) and parents of young children will be conducted. The information collected from the interviews will be used to develop a survey to use when testing new medications for Nephrotic Syndrome. Please consider participating in a 1-hour long interview with the Prepare-NS research study to discuss children and adults experiences with swelling.

Pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a rare disease for which the optimal therapeutic strategy has not yet been defined. A network of clinicians treating complicated forms of this disease (grouped within the Société de Néphrologie Pédiatrique, SNP) exists, but to date there is no prospective cohort following up these patients that would facilitate the development of cohort-nested trials. This absence of structured follow up makes it difficult to set up prospective studies. The main objective is to create a prospective cohort of pediatric INS patients to collect cases treated in SNP centers, to study their epidemiological characteristics, and to provide a basis for comparison for future cohort-nested trials.

The investigators are registering all nephrotic syndrome (NS) patients regardless of the primary causes and developing a NS database in China. Patients will be followed-up and both baseline and follow-up information will be recorded in the registration system. The treatment response, longitudinal changes of renal function, renal survival, patient survival, infection events and acute kidney injury etc, will be analyzed using the NS database.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of educational innovative gamified cards about nephrotic syndrome for school age children on their outcomes and caregivers' practices

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effect of atorvastatin on the plasma levels of lipids, Lp(a), and apoproteins for treating hyperlipidemia in children with nephrotic syndrome in whom proteinuria and hyperlipidemia persist after other appropriate measures to treat their primary disease have been exhausted. II. Determine the safety and tolerability of atorvastatin in these patients. III. Provide preliminary data for a future investigation into the potential effect that lowering cholesterol levels may have on the rate of progression of renal insufficiency in such patients.

Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies are emerging as the steroid-sparing therapy of choice for nephrotic syndrome. This Randomized Clinical Trial seeks to evaluate whether Rituximab biosimilar maintains drug-free disease remission in patientswith steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome for 12-24 months and verify its superiority vs. mycophenolate mofetil, the reference standard therapy. The investigators will compare the risk of relapse to test this hypothesis (primary outcome). Secondary objectives will include assessing short- and long-term side-effects and developing specific biomarkers of sensitivity to therapy. Patients will be recruited, treated and followed at IRCCS G Gaslini and IRCCS Bambino Gesù where laboratory studies will be performed at in-site facilities

This is a phase 2a study evaluating the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of GFB-887 in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and treatment-resistant minimal change disease (TR-MCD).

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is one of the most common glomerular pathologies in children and corticosteroid therapy is its most effective treatment. The total duration of treatment ranges anywhere from two to six months, generally about 3 months. The main objective of our study is to test the feasibility of a shorter total duration (two months) of corticosteroid therapy in patients who show a quicker treatment response to the initial treatment.

We hypothesize that the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody Rituximab will be more effective than MMF in maintaining remission in children with frequent relapsing or steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome who have had one relapse while receiving MMF. We will conduct a randomized study comparing two Rituximab infusions and continued MMF treatment. We plan to enroll 64 to have a comparater group of 58 (29 in each arm).
