Gla-300 and IDeg-100 in Insulin-Naïve People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Renal Impairment...
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusRenal ImpairmentThe TRENT trial is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of Gla-300 compared with IDeg-100 in insulin-naïve patient (participants who have not tried insulin) with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and renal impairment. It will test the hypothesis that Gla-300 is non-inferior to IDeg-100 with glucose control. If achieved, the trial will also test for the superiority of Gla-300 compared with IDeg-100 in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction, without an increased potential risk of hypoglycemia.

Immune Function in Acute Kidney Injury
Acute Kidney FailureThe immune response to kidney damage during acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important contributor to the prolonged lack of renal function and progression of kidney injury. Most data related to intrarenal and interorgan pathways in AKI stem from animal research with sometimes conflicting results. Accurate evaluation of these processes in humans and identification of early diagnostic tools are critical for the development of strategies to prevent and attenuate AKI-related morbidity and mortality in patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate immune function and miRNA expression in hospitalised patients with and without AKI.
Dietary Polyphenols and Glycation in Renal Insufficiency
Diabetes MellitusType 22 moreType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased risk of kidney failure, with high levels of glycohaemoglobin (HbA1c) presenting a sharper decline in renal function and an increase in the risk of mortality and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Polyphenols may improve renal insufficiency in patients with diabetes with chlorogenic acids (CGA) one of the principle polyphenol groups in the diet - coffee/tea, stone fruits (especially plums/prunes) and some vegetables (artichoke, chicory). CGA (3-4 cups of coffee) has been associated with 25% lower risk of T2DM and a favourable reduction of HbA1c, blood pressure, and oxidative stress levels. This randomised controlled trial, therefore, aims to evaluate the effect of high CGA food on glycation and oxidative stress in T2DM subjects with early renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate of 35-60 mL/min) as well as progression of renal insufficiency and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The study will have two phases - phase I, an interventional study of 3 months followed by phase II, an observational study of 21 months. In phase I, subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: CGA-enriched diet group, or control (habitual) diet group. The treatment group will be provided with a chlorogenic acid-rich food (coffee) with instructions to achieve an intake of 400 mg per day (equivalent to 3-4 coffee cups per day) for 12 weeks. The control group will receive a conventional coffee low in chlorogenic acid. Participants will attend three sessions during phase I; baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. At baseline, general information, medical history, dietary habits and medication use will be recorded and a Food Frequency Questionnaire completed. Urine and blood samples will be collected and blood pressure, waist circumference, height and weight recorded. Participants' diet over the previous 3 days will be assessed by estimated food diary analysis. In phase II, written dietary recommendations will be provided at three time points (months 6, 12 and 24) - treatment group to achieve a CGA-rich diet (total polyphenol intake of at least 1g per day, and at least 400mg per day of CGA) and standard dietary advice for the control group. Anthropometric/dietary data will be collected as well as blood and urine samples to assess markers of renal function, glycation and oxidative stress, and proteomic markers of cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease and diabetes.
Chronic Kidney Disease - Renal Epidemiology and Information Network
Renal InsufficiencyChronicPreserving kidney function and improving the transition from CKD to End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a research and healthcare challenge. The Chronic Kidney Disease-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (CKD-REIN) cohort was established to identify the determinants, biomarkers and practice patterns associated with chronic kidney disease outcomes. The study includes 3,033 adult patients with moderate to advanced CKD from a representative sample of 40 nephrology clinics in France with respect to regions and legal status. Patients are recruited during a routine visit and followed up for 5 years, before and after starting renal replacement therapy. Patient-level clinical, biological, and lifestyle data are collected annually, as well as provider-level data on clinical practices, coordinated with the International Chronic Kidney Disease Outcomes and Practice Pattern Study (CKDopps). Blood and urine samples are stored in a biobank. The overall objective is to develop a research platform to address key questions regarding the determinants and biomarkers associated with adverse outcomes in CKD and to assess its effective management. It has the following hypotheses and specific aims: to evaluate a large set of social, environmental, bioclinical, and genetic factors, and their interactions in relation with CKD outcomes including progression to ESRD, mortality, metabolic and vascular complications, and the onset of a number of chronic and acute events; to assess several new biomarkers to predict adverse outcomes of CKD and its complications; to evaluate the associations of provider practices (management of hypertension, anemia, nutritional abnormalities, mineral and bone disorder, nutritional status, timing of dialysis initiation and transplant wait-listing) with achievement of clinical practice guidelines, clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PRO). to evaluate the associations of health care organization and clinic services (e.g., for nutrition, educational programs) with clinical and patient-reported outcomes, and achievement of clinical practice guidelines; to estimate the relative cost-effectiveness of different provider practices and clinic services.
To Evaluate Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Belinostat in Patients Who Have Mild, Moderate and Severe...
Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors/Hematological MalignanciesA phase I, open-label, nonrandomized study to determine the PK profile of belinostat in patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or hematological malignancies in patients with renal impairment. Eligible patients will be assigned to 1 of 4 cohorts (A, B, C or D) based on their level of renal function (normal, mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment) and receive belinostat dose A for normal or mild renal impairment, and dose B for moderate or severe renal impairment.

A Dose-escalation Pharmacokinetic Study of Intravenous ASA404 in Adult Advanced Cancer Patients...
Metastatic CancerThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of ASA404 in patients with refractory or relapsed metastatic cancer with impaired renal function and with normal renal function. It is very possible that patients with renal impairment will show differences in renal excretion of parent ASA404 and its metabolites, warranting a study that leads to a better pharmacokinetic assesssment in this population.
