Effects of the SGLT2 Inhibitor Empagliflozin in Patients With Euvolemic and Hypervolemic Hyponatremia...
HyponatremiaSIADH2 moreHyponatremia is the most common electrolyte derangement occurring in hospitalized patients. It is usually classified as hypovolemic, euvolemic or hypervolemic. The most common aetiology of euvolemic hyponatremia is the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD). Hypervolemic hyponatremia is common in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) (10-27%) and liver cirrhosis (up to approximately 50%). In SIAD, the regulation of arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion is impaired which leads to free water retention. In CHF and liver cirrhosis, the effective arterial blood volume is decreased leading to non-osmotic baroreceptor mediated AVP release and consecutive free water retention. Current treatments of euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia, including the most used treatment fluid restriction, are of limited efficacy. Sodium-Glucose-Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule, resulting in glucosuria and consecutive osmotic diuresis. A placebo-controlled randomized trial of our group has shown that a short-term, i.e. a 4-days administration of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin (Jardiance)® in addition to fluid restriction was effective in increasing the serum sodium concentration in 87 patients with SIAD-induced hyponatremia. The effect of empagliflozin (Jardiance)® without additional fluid restriction is however not yet known. Large randomized controlled trials have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors reduced hospitalization for heart failure in patients with, and more recently without type 2 diabetes. No studies have investigated the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors in hypervolemic hyponatremia. To evaluate the effect of empagliflozin (Jardiance)® in eu- and hypervolemic hyponatremia, a randomized placebo-controlled study is needed.
A Study of MK-2060 in Participants With Chronic Kidney Disease (MK-2060-011)
End-Stage Renal DiseaseEnd-Stage Kidney Disease2 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD4) participants. The primary hypothesis is that the true geometric mean of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) after a single-dose of MK-2060 in adult CKD4 participants is at least 1130 nM*hr.
A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of HSK21542 in Subjects With Renal Impairment
Renal ImpairmentThis is an open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of HSK21542 in subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment compared to the matched control subjects with normal renal function.
Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacokinetic and Safety Studies of SHR4640 in Subjects With Moderate Renal Insufficiency...
HyperuricemiaThis study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of SHR4640 tablets in subjects with moderate renal insufficiency and healthy subjects, and to explore the relationship between renal function (e.g., eGFR) and SHR4640 pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters.
Reduction of Metabolic Acidosis in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease in Stage 4 and 5
Kidney DiseasesMetabolic Acidosis3 moreThis clinical trial aims to investigate and test the effect of an acid/base diet in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, CKD stage 4 and 5. The trial is guided by the hypothesis that an acid/base diet will reduce the degree of acidosis and simultaneously reduce the need for bicarbonate supplements.

Renal InsufficiencyKidney DiseasesThis is a multi-center, open-label, parallel-group study to evaluate oral doses of INCB054707 in participants with varying levels of renal function or impairment.
A Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetic and Safety Trial of Emraclidine in Participants With Renal Impairment...
Renal ImpairmentThe primary purpose of this study is to assess the effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of emraclidine following administration of a single oral dose in participants with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment relative to matched participants with normal renal function.
Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease With Low Dose Rivaroxaban in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease...
Chronic Kidney DiseasesDialysis-dependent Kidney Failure1 moreThe TRACK trial is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, prospective, randomised, quadruple-blind (participant, healthcare provider, data collector, outcomes assessor), placebo-controlled trial. TRACK is a global trial and will be conducted in renal units that provide comprehensive CKD care. Approximately 2000 participants will be recruited. The TRACK trial will assess a strategy of administering low dose rivaroxaban to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) in people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stages 4 or 5 or dialysis-dependent kidney failure, and elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk (marked by a history of CAD or PAD, or non-haemorrhagic non-lacunar stroke OR diabetes mellitus OR age ≥65 years).
Serial Amnioinfusions as Regenerative Therapy for Pulmonary Hypoplasia
Renal Failure CongenitalCongenital Renal Anomaly Nos2 moreCongenital lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies that lead bladder outlet obstruction. If a complete obstruction is present, the perinatal mortality is estimated to be as high as 90% because of severe pulmonary hypoplasia due to the lack of amniotic fluid. Survivors have significant risk of renal impairment (90%) requiring dialysis or renal transplantation if no fetal intervention is performed. Renal agenesis is the congenital absence of one or both kidneys due to complete failure of the kidney to form. As many as 33% of fetuses with bilateral renal agenesis are stillborn, and the rest of them die immediately after birth due to severe pulmonary hypoplasia. The objective of the serial amnioinfusions for fetuses with these conditions will be to reduce the severity of pulmonary hypoplasia (regenerating the lung functionality) and therefore increase the chance that the newborn survives to begin peritoneal dialysis. Although there is initial evidence that serial amnioinfusions are feasible for the pregnant women and the fetuses, there is still a need to have a prospective clinical trial to confirm the hypothesis that serial amnioinfusions could prevent severe pulmonary hypoplasia allowing the newborns with bilateral renal agenesis or severe LUTO to survive to begin peritoneal dialysis. Therefore, the investigators aim to study the hypothesis that serial amnioinfusions for fetuses with severe LUTO and renal failure and those with bilateral renal agenesis will reduce the severity of pulmonary hypoplasia and therefore increase the chance that the newborn survives to begin peritoneal dialysis.
