Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

The purpose of this study is to find out if empagliflozin, a new diabetic medication that has been shown to be very effective in lowering the risk of heart failure, is safe and tolerated in dialysis patients. In the recent years, empagliflozin has become a major tool to prevent heart failure hospitalization and to reduce the risk for cardiovascular death in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Although patients with severe chronic kidney disease and ESKD have very high risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death, they have been excluded from all of the previous studies. If this medication is found to be well tolerated and safe in dialysis patients through this study, future clinical studies can evaluate if this medication can also reduce the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death in dialysis patients.

Renal Impairment study of GBT021601.

The rationale of this study is to evaluate the impact of renal function on the PK, safety, and tolerability of VIR-2218 in participants with normal renal function and participants with varying degrees of renal dysfunction who are otherwise medically stable

The purpose of this protocol is to determine the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall transplantation as a treatment for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. Abdominal wall transplantation may be performed alone or in combination with another transplant.

This will be a prospective, single institution, parallel-group, single-blinded, randomized-controlled, two-arm, effectiveness study comparing autologous arteriovenous fistula versus hemodialysis access grafts in the elderly. The target sample size will include enrollment of 270 patients over a period of 5 years. The creation of an autologous arteriovenous fistula or placement of a hemodialysis access graft constitutes the two arms of the study.

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), directed against myeloperoxidase (MPO) and against proteinase 3 (PR3), have a pathogenic role during ANCA (AAV) vasculitis. Glomerular basement membrane (MBG) antibodies also have a direct pathogenic role in Goodpasture's syndrome and anti-MBG antibody glomerulonephritis (GN). In some patients, the severity of renal and / or pulmonary involvement justifies the rapid purification of these autoantibodies by an apheresis procedure, while waiting for the effect of immunosuppressive treatments aimed at reducing their production. During vasculitis, plasma exchange (PE) is recommended in patients with severe renal impairment or intra-alveolar hemorrhage (2012 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Glomerulonephritis). Given certain disadvantages related to plasma exchanges (low volume of purified plasma, non-selective technique for immunoglobulins (Ig), need for replacement solute, induction of coagulation disorders), immunoadsorption (IA), already used in transplantation, has been developed in these indications. IA has indeed greater selectivity for Ig with a probable better purification capacity due to higher volumes of plasma treated per session. The price of IA is however higher than that of EP. These two apheresis techniques, EP and IA, are commonly used in France during severe forms of vasculitis ANCA or anti-MBG, without the superiority of one or the other has been demonstrated. As a result of higher plasma volumes being purified, AI may allow faster purification of pathogenic antibodies. No studies to date have specifically compared the purification kinetics of these antibodies between EP and IA. The CINEVAS study (VAScularite Antibody Purification CINetic) is a multicentric pilot study whose main objective is to compare the purification kinetics of ANCA (anti-MPO or anti-PR3) and / or anti- MBG in patients treated with EP versus those treated with IA

Belantamab mafodotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) containing humanized anti- B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) monoclonal antibody (mAb). Renal impairment is a major complication of multiple myeloma (MM) and the majority of MM participants is either at risk or already has renal dysfunction at initial diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of belantamab mafodotin monotherapy in participants with RRMM, who have had at least 3 lines of prior treatment (or at least 2 lines of prior treatment if ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation ) and have either normal or impaired renal functions. The study will consist of two parts: part 1 will include participants with normal/mildly impaired renal function and severe renal impairment and part 2 will include participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where participants are either not undergoing or require hemodialysis. Participants will be administered belantamab mafodotin at a dose of 2.5 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenously once in three weeks (Q3W) dosing in Part 1. Based on the Part 1 Safety/Pharmacokinetic (PK) data, Part 2 participants will be administered the dose of either 2.5 mg/kg or 1.9 mg/kg (or other adjusted dose). Participants will be treated with belantamab mafodotin monotherapy until confirmed disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of study, whichever occurs first. This study will include a screening phase, treatment phase, follow-up phase and a post analysis continued treatment (PACT) phase . The total duration of the study is approximately up to 48 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of VX-548 and its metabolite in participants with severe or moderate renal impairment and healthy participants.

In the treatment of heart failure (HF), SGLT-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) can significantly improve the clinical outcome and quality of life related to HF. The current data show that SGLT-2i is effective and safe in improving HF outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4, but there is little clinical evidence in patients with eGFR<20 ml/min/1.73 m2. Therefore, our research is designed to confirm that SGLT-2i can improve the outcome of HF in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and severe chronic renal insufficiency (eGFR<20ml/min/1.73m2).

The purpose of this study is to establish if concomitant renal and vascularized urinary bladder allograft transplantation is feasible.
