600 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of the study is to learn what happens to levels of MK-5684 in people with severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease versus a healthy person's body over time. Researchers will compare what happens to MK-5684 after hemodialysis in people with severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease versus healthy people.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD7760 when given as an intravenous infusion to healthy participants (Phase I) or participants with end-stage kidney disease receiving hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (Phase IIa).
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of severe renal impairment (RI) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) on the pharmacokinetics and safety of BMS-986278. This study plans to use a staged design based on RI severity.
Fatigue is the most common symptom reported by end-stage kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Unfortunately, there currently is no medical management for this overwhelming feeling of tiredness. As a result, patients continue to suffer with poor quality of life and impaired daily activities. The purpose of this pilot trial is to find out if bupropion (a medicine commonly prescribed for stopping smoking, seasonal mood disorder, and depression) may help lessen fatigue in hemodialysis patients. In this study, hemodialysis participants will receive bupropion tablet orally three times a week during routine dialysis procedure for consecutive 8 weeks. Study participants will complete a battery of questionnaires to self-report fatigue, cognition, and quality of life. The study team will collect biological specimens. All these procedures will be performed at the dialysis clinic during routine dialysis procedure.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of avacopan and metabolite (M1) after a single dose of avacopan in participants with normal renal function and participants with ESRD requiring hemodialysis (HD).
The purpose of this study is to determine if multiple doses of INZ-701, given once per week over 4 weeks are safe and increase pyrophosphate (PPi) levels in hemodialysis-dependent (HD) end stage kidney disease (ESKD) study participants who have low PPi levels. In addition, the effect of hemodialysis on the pharmacokinetics of INZ-701 and PPi levels will be evaluated.
Home palliative care needs are often under-recognized in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). This pilot study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of referrals to home palliative care services in improving patient outcomes compared with usual care among patients with ESRD admitted to a Penn hospital. Evaluating the effectiveness of home palliative care services is critical to determine whether increasing access to these services would improve patient-centered outcomes for these high-need patients
Investigator-initiated, interventional, prospective study to assess the clinical and operational effectiveness of daprodustat in adult patients receiving in center hemodialysis or peritoneal home dialysis who are transitioning from Mircera to daprodustat.
This is a human subject research study conducted in patients undergoing dialysis treatment with darbepoetin alfa at Intermountain Utah Dialysis and Intermountain Medical Center Dialysis Services. The purpose is to test a dose recommendation algorithm that may reduce hemoglobin variability and drug cost.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the number of catheter-free days (CFD) and the rate and severity of any dialysis access-related infections between the ATEV and AVF groups over 12 months in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) needing hemodialysis (HD). Participants will be stratified by location of the vascular access (forearm versus upper arm) and by type of AVF creation procedure planned by the surgeon at randomization (1-stage AVF versus 2-stage AVF). The comparator is an upper extremity arterio-venous fistula (AVF) for HD access surgically created per the institution's Standard of Care (SoC).
Twenty participants with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) and burnt-out diabetes, and 20 non-diabetic participants with ESKD will wear a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device for 10 days to see if the use of CGM is a better tool to assess glycemic control than glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with ESKD on dialysis.
The study will test and compare the efficacy of a single essential amino acid valine with a combination of essential amino acids (EAA) supplement on fatigue, frailty, and cognitive function in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) treatment.
The main purpose of the study is to determine if empagliflozin can reduce peritoneal glucose absorption in patients with end stage renal diease (ESRD) on peritoneal dialysis. This is a randomized, placebo controlled, acute crossover study of empagliflozin in an anticipated 30 chronic PD patients, with an 8 week "pre post" open label extension in all 30 patients where they will receive empagliflozin daily.
This is a three-part study of MK-2060 in participants with chronic and/or end-stage kidney disease. The purpose of the 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) or stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5) participants in Part 1, of multiple subcutaneous doses in CKD4 or CKD5 participants in Part 2, and of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in participants with end-stage kidney disease in Part 3. The primary hypothesis is that, in Part 1, 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 or CKD5 participants is at least 11300 nM\*hr.
16 individuals with hemodialysis-dependent end stage kidney disease will receive 16 days of a potassium-containing salt-substitute and 16 days of standard table salt in random order. There will be a 19 day wash out period between the salt-substitute and table salt periods. Potassium concentration will be measured bi-weekly prior to HD each week during intervention. The primary endpoint will be the change in potassium from baseline. Additional measurements will include assessment of dietary intake, ambulatory blood pressure, occurrence of peri-dialytic symptoms, and per-dialytic vital signs.
This study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study with subjects acting as their own control designed to confirm the safety, performance, and usability of the V Needle, a new safety needle for use during in-clinic hemodialysis that is designed to automatically generate a partial occlusion of the internal fluid path and trigger the hemodialysis machine to alarm and shut off if a complete dislodgement of the venous needle from the arm inadvertently occurs.
Home palliative care needs are often under-recognized in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). This pilot study is designed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an initiative to enhance referrals to Penn Home Palliative Care compared with usual care among hemodialysis-dependent ESRD patients admitted to a Penn hospital. Results will inform a future pragmatic trial comparing the effectiveness of home palliative care compared with usual care among ESRD patients. Evaluating the effectiveness of home palliative care services is critical to determine whether increasing access to these services would improve patient-centered outcomes for these high-need patients.
The mismatch between organ supply and demand results in the deaths of thousands of Americans each year. Our research group aims to solve this unmitigated health care crisis by translating advances in xenotransplantation to humans and expanding organ supply in a sustainable fashion using genetically modified pigs as a source of organs. We propose here a phase I clinical trial of porcine kidney xenotransplantation into 20 people with end-stage kidney disease. Source donor animals are pigs with 10 gene edits (10-GE) which attenuate immunologic harm to the kidney xenograft. 10-GE pigs are housed in a designated pathogen-free facility within 30 minutes of the transplantation center. Xenotransplantation procedures follow conventional practices currently employed in allotransplantation and comply with multiple regulatory standards to ensure ethical treatment of research subjects and source animals. Recruitment and xenotransplantation will occur over 5 years with study follow-up extending 1 year after xenotransplantation. Primary outcome variables surround patient safety, such as patient survival and the rate of zoonotic disease transmission. Secondary outcome variables include commonly used metrics of graft survival and function.
MK-2060 is being developed for prevention of thrombotic complications in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The purpose of this study is to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the safety and tolerability of MK-2060 treatment in combination with a commonly used P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, clopidogrel, in ESRD patients.
Bradykinin is a potent vasodilator that is formed by the activation of the kallikrein-kinin system. We and others have shown that bradykinin increased during hemodialysis; however, the role of bradykinin in dialysis-induced hypotension (DIH) has not been evaluated. Preliminary results from a pilot clinical trial showed that bradykinin B2 receptor blockade with icatibant prevents excessive blood pressure during hemodialysis. Thus, in this study, we will test the overarching hypothesis that blockade plasma kallikrein with lanadelumab would ameliorate the reduction of blood pressure during hemodialysis in patients who are prone to DIH. For this purpose, we will conduct a parallel arm, double-blind placebo-controlled trial, using lanadelumab to evaluate the occurrence of
Patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) are prone to early and accelerated vascular calcification. Both the prevalence and extent of the vascular calcification are predictive for cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality in this population. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that dialysis patients have a primary, functional deficiency of Vitamin K2 as evidenced by reduced levels of circulating biomarkers including carboxylated forms of Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), Osteocalcin, and Fetuin-A, which are important inhibitors of vascular calcification. Decreased levels of Vitamin K2 are known to lead to microvascular calcification and are associated with dermatological and cardiovascular conditions such as calciphylaxis and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to examine the safety and pharmacokinetics of EPN-701 (menaquinone-7; MK-7) and to assess the effects on certain circulating biomarkers when MK-7 is orally administered once daily for 14 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of MK-2060 (a monoclonal antibody against Factor XI) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) participants receiving hemodialysis via an arteriovenous graft (AVG). Data from this study will be used to aid dose selection of MK-2060 in future studies. The primary hypothesis is that at least one of the MK-2060 doses is superior to placebo in increasing the time to first occurrence of AVG event.
Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are at significantly increased risk of thrombosis and bleeding relative to those with normal renal function which makes anticoagulation particularly challenging. Further, ESRD patients undergoing initiation of anticoagulation for acute VTE are often kept in the hospital for heparin "bridging" which may lead to a protracted length-of-stay (LOS) and may place patients at risk for hospital-associated complications. The advent of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has offered physicians choices in the management of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, evidence suggests that rivaroxaban and dabigatran are associated with a higher risk of bleeding in ESRD patients. In contrast, research suggests that apixaban may be safer in patients with ESRD, and recent evidence suggests lower bleeding rates in ESRD patients treated for atrial fibrillation with apixaban compared to those treated with warfarin. However, to date, no large national cohort studies have examined the safety, effectiveness, and healthcare utilization of apixaban in patients with ESRD who have acute VTE. The investigators propose to use the Standard Analytic Files from the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) for years 2014 through 2018 to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and healthcare utilization of ESRD patients initiated on apixaban compared to those initiated on warfarin (following heparin) to treat acute VTE.
The goal of the CSP-2002 clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InnAVasc Arteriovenous Graft (IG) for hemodialysis (HD) access in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The primary study endpoints are: Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: The proportion of subjects with secondary patency at 6 months. Primary Safety Endpoint: The incidence of device-related adverse events of special interest (AESIs) through 6 months. Participants will be asked to sign an informed consent form. Once enrolled, they will be assessed to receive the study graft implant and asked to participate in periodic follow-up visits and assessments through 2 years following implant.
The purpose of this study is to collect genomic and clinical data among a cohort of hemodialysis patients and analyze the association between genetic markers and the development and severity of illness in response to SARS-CoV-2.
A cross-sectional, non-interventional study to assess walking performance, vascular function, and lower limb calcification in subjects with peripheral artery disease and end-stage kidney disease (PAD-ESKD) receiving hemodialysis.
BAY1817080 is currently under clinical development to treat pain related to unexplained chronic cough or chronic cough not affected by a treatment (refractory and/or unexplained chronic cough, RUCC), or a condition where the bladder is unable to hold urine normally (overactive bladder, OAB) or a condition in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of the womb grows outside the womb (endometriosis). Especially in elderly patients with OAB or RUCC, renal impairment is frequent. Renal impairment which co-occurs in especially in elderly patients with OAB or RUCC is a common condition in which the kidneys are not filtering the blood as well as they should. End stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis is a condition in which patients kidneys are no longer able to work as they should and require treatment to filter wastes from the blood. The goal of the study is to learn more about the safety of BAY1817080, how it is tolerated and the way the body absorbs, distributes and excretes the study drug given in men and women with moderate renal impairment and with those who have end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis compared with matched participants with normal kidney function.
Hemodialysis represents a life line of patients with end stage renal disease, who are commonly maintained on hemodialysis through catheters. Prolonged exposure to these catheters eventually damages the walls of veins, which results in stenosis at the local site. This condition is called central venous stenosis (CVS) and affects number of patients on hemodialysis in the United States and can compromise the dialysis efficacy. The current diagnostic modality for CVS is venography, which has several limitations. This study proposes to examine intravenous ultrasound (IVUS) as a potentially superior modality, which will provide additional information.
The overall objective of this study is to reduce the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its consequences for an aging U.S. population. To accomplish this, the investigators propose to conduct a multi-center randomized trial of an advance care planning (ACP) video intervention (vs. usual care) among older patients with CKD.
The main purpose is to determine the safety of Triferic iron administered via dialysate and intravenously in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease on chronic hemodialysis (CKD-5HD). It is a global, multi- center, open-label study.
