Active clinical trials for "Kidney Failure, Chronic"

In small initial studies, combined kidney and bone marrow transplants from the same donor have permitted some individuals to stop taking anti-rejection medicines without rejecting their transplant. This clinical trial will study this method in a greater number of people to determine if it is indeed effective and safe.

The current study is initiated in order to assess the impact of a PD solution containing L-carnitine on insulin sensitivity measured by a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.

The purpose of this this study is to investigate the clinical utility of renal denervation in the treatment of ESRD patients with refractory hypertension.

Magnesium iron hydroxycarbonate is a phosphate binder that absorbs phosphate from food, reducing the amount that the body can absorb. The purpose of this study is to determine how well a range of different doses of fermagate are tolerated by the subjects in the trial.

The purpose is to measure the effect of glucose in the dialysis water on blood pressure, pulse rate, and plasma glucose with and without body temperature control

The purposes are 1. to measure the effect of dialysis with glucose in dialysis water on blood pressure, pulse rate, plasma concentration of glucose, plasma concentrations og insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, renin, angiotensin II, endothelin and body temperature, and 2. to analyse the relationship between the changes in blood pressure and changes in vasoactive hormones

The purpose of this study is to find out if a new investigational hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine, HEPLISAV™, is safe and effective for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Two dose levels will be studied: a single dose and a double dose. We expect both dose levels to safely immunize patients against HBV. The study will determine which dose does this best.

The purpose of the study is to compare sitagliptin and glipizide in lowering blood sugar in participants with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and end-stage renal disease on dialysis who do not have adequate glycemic control.

The CAP-KD trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, two-arm, parallel group comparison clinical trial and will be conducted as a researcher-directed study to assess the efficacy of Kremezin in preventing the progression of CKD. We compare two groups of patients: those receiving conventional treatment alone and those receiving such treatment paired with Kremezin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of peginesatide (AF37702) to increase and maintain increased hemoglobin levels in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (either not on dialysis, receiving regular hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, or following renal transplant) with confirmed antibody-mediated pure red cell aplasia (PRCA).
