Active clinical trials for "Kidney Failure, Chronic"

The purpose of this study is to establish the therapeutic equivalence of Gengraf® with the standard treatment Neoral® for a treatment period of 6 months in stable renal allograft transplant recipients with respect to drug levels, dosage, and acute graft rejection and other adverse events.

It is intended to examine the safety and efficacy of desensitization therapy by GB-0998 (intravenous immunoglobulin) for the anti-donor antibody positive recipient in need of pre-transplant desensitization. Patients with positive FCXM-T after performing twice double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) therapy will receive GB-0998 1g/kg/day for four days.

Primary Objective: Evaluate the reduction in serum phosphorus from baseline to end of study with Sevelamer carbonate tablets 800 mg and Sevelamer carbonate Powder 2.4 g in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients both on haemodialysis and not on dialysis Secondary Objective: Evaluate the safety on the basis of adverse events, changes in laboratory values and vital signs from baseline (Day 0) to Day 56 (End of treatment/ End of Study)

This is a study to investigate the efficacy and safety of OPC-41061 by 24-week oral administration of OPC-41061 at 15-mg or 30-mg or placebo in patients with chronic renal failure who are undergoing hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration and who have daily urine volume of at least 500 mL/day.

The purpose of the study is to obtain performance data on the Asahi ViE-21 dialyzer (ViE-21) .

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Tablo Hemodialysis System when used In-Center by trained individuals and In-Home by trained Subjects.

The study investigates the performance of a new dialyzer (Theranova 400) containing a membrane with increased pore sizes. The performance will be determined by the removal of middle molecules (with different molecular size) from the blood compartment. Three different Theranova 400 prototypes (AA, BB and CC) operated in hemodialysis mode will be compared with a Cordiax FX-80 dialyzer, operated in hemodialysis mode. Safety events and albumin loss into the dialysate will be monitored

The investigators developed iChoose Kidney -- a shared decision-making support tool accessible through iPad, iPhone, or the web -- to provide ESRD patients and their providers with a simple, standardized, easily accessible, statistically robust tool for use in the clinic to guide patient education and healthcare decision-making about treatment options of dialysis or kidney transplantation. The iChoose Kidney decision aid provides patients with estimates of their individualized 1 and 3-year risks of mortality on dialysis vs. transplantation, based on previous national data. The tool has the potential to improve communication and decision-making between patients and their healthcare providers and improve access to kidney transplantation among patients with ESRD. This will be a two-arm, randomized study, and will be conducted at 3 large transplant centers with diverse patient populations. One group of patients will receive standard education alone during their scheduled transplant evaluation. The second group will receive the standard education as well have the provider use the iChoose Kidney aid with them. The project timeline will be a total of 24 months inclusive of enrollment, follow-up, data analysis, and outcome evaluation. This study will assess how well the iChoose decision aid works in improving patient knowledge, preferences for treatment, and patient access to transplant. The study will also assess whether providers find the tool useful for providing ways to share information with patients about ways to treat their kidney disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether participation in a 26-week exercise rehabilitation program is effective at reducing symptom burden and improving quality of life in individuals receiving chronic hemodialysis.

This is a multi-center, open-label clinical study to assess the single-dose PK of eravacycline in subjects with renal impairment and healthy subjects conducted at approximately 2 sites in the United States. This study includes an up to 21-day Screening Period, a 5-day Treatment Period, and an End of Study Visit occurring approximately 2 weeks (±2 days) after study drug administration. Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled: 6 subjects with ESRD and 6 healthy subjects with normal renal function. Healthy subjects will be matched to renally impaired subjects in gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). All subjects will be administered a single IV dose of eravacycline (1.5 mg/kg).
