Linagliptin's Effect on CD34+ Stem Cells
Type 2 DiabetesImpaired Renal FunctionType 2 diabetes is a national epidemic. Diabetes has undesirable effects on blood vessels which may contribute to heart disease. Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) are found in the blood. Research has shown that improving the survival of these special blood cells may decrease the harmful effects of diabetes on blood vessels and reduce or reverse heart disease. Linagliptin is an Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescription medicine used along with insulin or with oral medications to lower blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. It is in a class of diabetes medication called Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. DPP-4 inhibitors have been shown to increase EPCs in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis: Both type 2 diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are associated with poor stem cell number and function. Poor viability and function of EPCs in CKD and diabetes The investigators hypothesize that use of Linagliptin (along with Insulin) may help reduce cardiovascular risk by improving EPC survival and function above and beyond adequate glucose metabolism control
Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Fevipiprant in Patients With Renal Impairment Compared to Matched...
Renal InsufficiencyThe aim of the study is to assess whether renal impairment could affect fevipiprant pharmacokinetics (PK) to the extent that dosage adjustment is appropriate for this patient population. The study also aims to determine the effect of dialysis on the fevipiprant pharmacokinetic profile as the procedure might remove a significant fraction of the drug.
A Study of Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys) and Ribavirin (Copegus) Combination Therapy in Participants...
Hepatitis CChronicThis study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (area under the curve [AUC], maximum concentration [Cmax], and other parameters) and tolerability of peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin combination therapy following single and multiple doses in participants with CHC infection and moderate to severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 48 weeks, and the target sample size is 48 individuals.
A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of AL-335
Renal InsufficiencyThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single oral dose of AL-335 in participants with various degrees of impaired renal function (mild, moderate, and severe) compared to participants with normal renal function.
Investigation of Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Tolerability of Multiple Doses of...
Growth Hormone DisorderAdult Growth Hormone Deficiency1 moreThe trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the steady state exposure of somapacitan in subjects with various degrees of renal impairment (mild, moderate, severe renal impairment, requiring haemodialysis treatment) compared to subjects with normal renal function
Renal Allograft Tolerance Through Mixed Chimerism (Belatacept)
Kidney FailureChronic1 moreThis study will examine the safety and effectiveness of a combination kidney and bone marrow transplant from a haplo-identical related donor. An investigational medication and other treatments will be given prior to and after the transplant to help protect the transplanted kidney from being attacked by the body's immune system
A Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Repeat Oral Doses of Darapladib...
AtherosclerosisIn accordance with the recently revised FDA draft renal impairment guidance (March 2010) which advises the conduct of renal impairment study in drugs that are not predominately eliminated through the renal route, the proposed study will be conducted to formally assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of darapladib in severely renally impaired subjects. In this is an open-label, non-randomized study eight subjects with severe renal impairment will be recruited along with 8 healthy control subjects matched to the severe renal impairment subjects based on gender, body mass index (plus or minus 20%) and age (plus or minus 10 years). All subjects will receive repeat oral doses of darapladib 160 milligram (mg) for 10 consecutive days. The pharmacokinetics of darapladib and its metabolites; and safety and tolerability will be evaluated. All the subjects will be admitted to the clinic on the evening of Day -1. Subjects may check out of the clinic on Day 2 after all assessments are complete, but must return to the clinic each day (Days 3-8) for dosing and assessments. Subjects will be admitted to the clinic again on the evening of Day 9. After the last dose of the study drug, there will be a follow-up period which will include 2 visits (Day 20-24 and Day 38-52). The total study duration for each subject including the screening, treatment and follow-up periods will be approximately 11 weeks.
A Pharmacokinetic Study of AMG 386 in Cancer Subjects With Normal and Impaired Renal Function
Advanced Solid TumorsKidney Disease1 moreThis is a phase 1, open-label pharmacokinetic study where up to 40 subjects with advanced solid tumors (up to 6-10 with normal renal function and up to 18-30 with varying degrees of renal dysfunction) will receive weekly doses of AMG 386 intravenously. The primary objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single agent AMG 386 in subjects with various degrees of renal function. Once the AMG 386 PK characterization is complete in the first 5 weeks of the study, all subjects will be allowed to continue to receive AMG 386 weekly only or subjects in group 1, 2 or 3 can opt to receive AMG 386 weekly in combination with paclitaxel until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
Continuous Soluble Ferric Pyrophosphate (SFP) Iron Delivery Via Dialysate in Hemodialysis Patients...
Renal Failure Chronic Requiring HemodialysisThe purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of Soluble Ferric Pyrophosphate (SFP) dialysate solution in maintaining iron delivery for erythropoiesis in anemic adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis. Efficacy will be measured primarily by the change from baseline in hemoglobin (Hgb).
A Phase 3, Long-Term Safety Study of Intravenous Epoetin Hospira in Patients With Chronic Renal...
Chronic Renal Failure Requiring HemodialysisThe purpose of the study is to determine the long-term safety in treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of intravenous (IV) administration of Epoetin Hospira for maintenance of target hemoglobin (Hgb) levels in patients treated for anemia associated with chronic renal failure and on hemodialysis.
