Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The proposed randomized controlled trial will test the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with sodium nitrite and isoquercetin on endothelial function and inflammation among patients with chronic kidney disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of multi-dimentional ayurvedic treatment in the patients of various types of chronic kidney disease.

DS-5565 (mirogabalin) is being studied as treatment for fibromyalgia (FM) pain. Because it is excreted through the kidneys, people who have reduced kidney function will not process the drug as well as with those with normal kidney function, so the dose must be reduced. This study will test two reduced dose levels for both moderately reduced and severely reduced kidney function. The study will test the hypothesis that the drug will be safe and well-tolerated in people who have both fibromyalgia and chronic kidney disease.

The objective of this study is to assess PK, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of ASP3325 and to assess PD, PK and safety of repeated oral doses of ASP3325 administered t.i.d. before or just after each meal

There is limited data availability on effect of Metformin XR on 24-h plasma glucose, and there is no available data in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The planned study aims to provide data on glucose plasma level in relation to metformin plasma level in Diabetes Type II patients.

This Five, Plus Nuts and Beans for Kidneys Study is a single center, randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel arms testing the hypothesis that delivery of nutritional advice to adopt a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-like diet and $30/week worth of fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans tailored to personal choices and availability in neighborhood stores, will reduce kidney damage in African Americans with hypertension and chronic kidney disease.

To study the tolerance and efficacy of an omega 3 fatty acids supplement on renal and vascular function and inflammatory parameters in patients with chronic renal disease

This will be an open-label, randomized, parallel-group study in hemodialysis-dependent (HD) participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), designed to compare the effects of daprodustat to epoetin alfa on blood pressure (BP). Participants will be screened for eligibility within 7 and 30 days prior to erythropoesis-stimulating agent (ESA) washout. Following a 2-week ESA washout period, on Day 1 participants will be randomized 1:1 and stratified by prior ESA dose before they undergo Acute Challenge 1, a single dose challenge to compare the acute effects on BP of the highest planned once-daily maintenance dose of daprodustat (24 milligrams [mg]) to the highest starting dose of epoetin alfa (100 units/kilogram [U/kg]). This will be followed by an 8-week hemoglobin (Hgb)-maintenance period, where doses of either daprodustat or epoetin alfa will be administered and adjusted. At the end of Hgb maintenance period, on Day 57 an Acute Challenge 2 will be repeated utilizing the same treatment dose administered in Acute Challenge 1; there will be a follow-up visit within 14+/-3 days after completing treatment.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) of orally administered vadadustat in Japanese participants with anemia secondary to Non-dialysis Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (NDD-CKD).

This study will be a prospective, clinical pilot study in CKD patients to show whether Empagliflozin in addition to ACEi treatment significantly increases Ang 1-7 levels compared to ACEi treatment alone. Null and alternative hypotheses: H0: Empagliflozin in addition to ACEi treatment does not increase Ang 1-7 levels more than ACEi treatment alone. H1: Empagliflozin in addition to ACEi treatment significantly increases Ang 1-7 levels compared to ACEi treatment alone Methodology: Two groups of 24 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, respectively, with and without type 2 diabetes will be randomized into the study medication or placebo group. The number of patients per treatment arms is n = 12. Included and consented patients will be subjected to an initial 2-week run-in period for conversion of current RAS blocking medications to ACEi therapy with enalapril or ramipril and respective dose titration to 10 mg enalapril 2 x daily and 10 mg ramipril 1 x daily. Additional antihypertensive medication will be standardized as feasible, with the primary goal of keeping blood pressure as recommended by KDIGO. Following the 2-week run-in phase, all study patients will be subjected to blood collection including the first RAS quantification (RAS Fingerprint) and assessment of HDL composition, as well as urinary analysis and bioimpedance fluid status assessment (BCM measurement). Subsequently, patients will be randomized to either receive empagliflozin (at a dose of 10 mg daily) or placebo. Subsequently, biweekly study visits including electrolyte and glucose (plasma and urine) monitoring as well as BCM measurement will take place. After 12 weeks of study medication intake, a concluding study visit will be scheduled for final RAS quantification (RAS Fingerprint) and HDL analyses as well as final blood and urinary analysis and BCM measurement. Initially, blood and urine will be collected at the clinical visit as part of the routine blood obtainment (no additional effort on patients). From these routine measurements we will be able to extract information regarding the patient's current CKD stage as well as other relevant laboratory parameters (e.g. HbA1c, UACR, etc.). Furthermore, we will document the patient's current medication and significant comorbidities. Primary analysis variable/endpoint: The difference of Ang 1-7 increase from baseline between a 3-month treatment with empagliflozin on top of ACEi treatment compared to ACEi treatment alone Most important secondary analysis variables/endpoints: Simultaneous quantitative changes of multiple RAS effector angiotensin levels determined by mass-spectrometry Recurrence of Ang II levels determined by mass-spectrometry HDL parameters (protein composition of HDL) Renal parameters (albuminuria reduction measured by urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR), renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum-creatinine) Urinary electrolyte levels Urinary glucose levels Urinary RAS metabolites (angiotensinogen, ACE and ACE2 levels, ACE2 activity) Blood pressure determined by ambulatory blood pressure measurements Body volume determined by bioimpedance fluid status assessment (BCM measurement) OCR and ECAR in PBMCs determined by Seahorse Flux Analyzer Assessment of reduction of salt sensitivity by using salt sensitivity test with empagliflozin
