This research is being done to find out the best ways to help people with end stage kidney disease take care of their daily lives and improve their social functioning. Investigators want to learn whether services in the Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE) study such as help with medications, muscle strengthening, balance training, pain management, changes to houses and improved social support can be tailored to fit the needs of older adults with kidney disease to help improve their ability to balance, walk, and take care of themselves. People aged 60 years and older who have end stage kidney disease and have been receiving dialyses for at least 6 months, may join.
The primary objective is to assess the effect of 2 dose levels of SNF472 (300 mg and 600 mg) compared to placebo on the progression of coronary artery calcium volume score over a 12-month (52 weeks) period in ESRD patients on HD
The proposed study will evaluate the response and remission rates for major depressive disorder (MDD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) treated with bupropion or fluoxetine for 12 weeks. In addition, the study will document the relative tolerability and safety, and longitudinally contrast the effects of bupropion and fluoxetine on measures of cognitive function, fatigue, inflammation, and tryptophan (TRP) and TRP catabolites in blood. It is hypothesized that both drugs will significantly reduce MDD symptoms from baseline, and be tolerable and safe, but bupropion will be associated with greater reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines, cognitive impairment, and fatigue compared with fluoxetine. The Specific Aims of this study are: Aim 1: Determine the efficacy of bupropion and fluoxetine in treatment of MDD in ESRD/HD patients. Aim 2: Determine whether longitudinal change in MDD symptoms, cognitive dysfunction, and fatigue differ between bupropion and fluoxetine. Aim 3: Determine whether longitudinal change in MDD symptoms, cognitive dysfunction, and fatigue correlate with change in inflammation, measures of TRP availability to brain, or neurotoxic TRP metabolites. Hypotheses: 1. Bupropion and fluoxetine will both show efficacy in treating MDD; 2. Bupropion will lead to greater improvement in cognitive dysfunction and fatigue than fluoxetine; and 3. Change in cognition and fatigue over time will correlate with change in c-reactive protein (CRP) and quinolinic acid and change in overall depression score will correlate with measures of TRP availability.
This study is a pilot study designed to compare the safety and cardiovascular effects of 26 weeks of combination hydralazine/isorsorbide dinitrate therapy with placebo therapy in patients receiving chronic hemodialysis. The investigators hypothesize that treatment of chronic hemodialysis (ESRD) patients with a combination of hydralazine/isosorbide dinitrate compared with placebo is safe and that it will improve heart function as well blood flow/blood vessel supply.
This is a pilot study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and effectiveness of PINTA 745 or placebo in treating protein energy wasting (PEW) in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). New research suggests that the high risk of death may be partly due to high levels of fibrosis and a loss of small blood vessels in the heart of patients with dialysis-dependent ESRD. This study is designed to compare the effects of two different drugs, spironolactone and L-arginine, with placebo on structure and function of the heart in individuals with dialysis-dependent ESRD.
1. A maximally tolerated dose of ribavirin can be defined in each patient with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis. 2. Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)undergoing hemodialysis will be able to tolerate and remain on treatment with peginterferon alfa-2b, the maximally tolerated dose of ribavirin and boceprevir. 3. A significant percentage of patients with chronic HCV and ESRD undergoing hemodialysis can achieve rapid virologic response (RVR), extended virologic response (eRVR) and sustained virologic response (SVR) when treated with peginterferon alfa-2b, the maximally tolerated dose of ribavirin and boceprevir.
A long-term safety study of ferric citrate (KRX-0502) in renal failure patients who have completed study KRX-0502-304. Only patients who participated in the KRX-0502-304 trial may participate in this trial.
This is up to a 58 week study comparing ferric citrate to active control for 52 weeks in ESRD dialysis patients, and subsequently comparing ferric citrate to placebo for 4 weeks.
The investigators hypothesize that the post-hospitalized patient status is characterized by subacute and reversible metabolic and hematological changes that, if addressed and treated in a timely manner, would result in a reduced risk for repeat hospitalization. Consequently, a structured quality improvement program, focused on increasing adherence to company wide anemia management policies (ie hemoglobin monitoring within the first 3-5 days post-hospitalization, followed by an appropriate EPO dose modification within the 7 days post-hospitalization), will significantly decrease the risk of hospital re-admission in the 30 days after discharge.
This study is to evaluates the safety and tolerability of Zerenex™ (ferric citrate) as a treatment for hyperphosphatemia in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease.
This study will address a true clinical problem by developing a risk/benefit analysis for rapid surgical weight loss in the ESRD population. The risks of surgical intervention, as well as, potential nutritional concerns, balanced with that of the potential medical benefits associated with significant weight loss.
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.
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.
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.
There will be two phases of this study. The phases of this study may occur simultaneously. In Phase I, eligible subjects will be asked to acutely wear the Alio Medical RMS SmartPatch during regularly scheduled dialysis sessions. Subjects will have a pre- and post-dialysis blood draw(s), vitals collected, and monitoring throughout the dialysis sessions. The SmartPatch will be removed from the location(s) where it is placed following the post-dialysis blood draw. In Phase II, subjects will be asked to wear a SmartPatch for up to 90 days. Subjects will be trained on the use of the Alio Medical RMS and be provided a system for them to utilize at home. Patches will be changed at a minimum of once every 7 days.
The investigators plan to analyze the first year of a nationwide randomized-controlled trial of end stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment choice model (ETC). This mandatory-participation program was designed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and randomization was conducted at the hospital referral region (HRR) level. 95 HRRs were assigned to the treatment group beginning in January 2021. The investigators will study the impact of this program in the first year on treatment modality choice for ESRD and explore heterogeneity in impact across patients and providers.
This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the AKST1210 column at blood-flow rates greater than 250 mL/min in subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and impact on HD parameters when the AKST1210 column is used at a blood-flow of up to 450 mL/min.
This study is being conducted to directly characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of plazomicin following administration of a single oral dose before and after IHD in subjects with ESRD. This PK assessment will be used to provide appropriate plazomicin dosing recommendations for patients with ESRD receiving IHD.
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.
Recent advances in continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and availability of commercial CGM products to patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes has made the use of CGM more widespread. CGMs work by placing a probe underneath the skin of a patient, into the interstitial space. Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on intermittent hemodialysis (iHD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) undergo fluid shifts between the interstitial fluid and intravascular space during dialysis treatments.These fluid shifts, uremia, acidosis, and volume overload (increase in interstitial fluid volume due to ESRD) have the potential to impact the performance of the most advanced and commercially available CGMs; however, use of CGM in these patients has not yet been studied.Use of CGM, and potentially hybrid closed loop insulin delivery systems that are dependent on accurate continuous glucose monitoring, has the potential to improve glucose control and quality of life in these patients (7). This study team feels that this study will be valuable in collecting preliminary data needed with the goal of validating the use of CGM in this patient population. The specific aim is to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the accuracy of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients on intermittent hemodialysis (iHD).
This prospective multi-center, open-label, single-arm study intends to gather and evaluate safety data for the nocturnal use of the HemoCare™ Hemodialysis System.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a well-established treatment for renal failure including long-term management of end stage renal disease (ESRD) by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). Complementary therapies offer longer term survival for patients with ESRD. However, none of them are devoid of side effects and today their limitations are better understood by the nephrologist. The AMIA APD Solution Generation System combines an updated AMIA APD Cycler with Sharesource Platform (previously cleared) with an in-home water system technology and leverages newly developed AMIA APD Concentrates. The AMIA APD Concentrates, after dilution by the AMIA APD Solution Generation System, are indicated for adult patients in acute or chronic renal failure when non-dialytic medical therapy is judged to be inadequate.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of two different doses of a drug called BAY1213790 and how well it is tolerated in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Approximately 40, with up to 60 study patients will take part in the study.
This study is for people with diabetes who have either healthy kidneys or who have end stage renal disease (ESRD) and are on hemodialysis that are having surgery. This research will help increase our knowledge about how having diseased kidneys and being on hemodialysis changes how the body responds to insulin. In the time period directly before, during, and after surgery, maintenance of blood sugar within normal physiological range is essential. When patients come for surgery and have an elevated blood sugar, it is up to each individual physician to decide on the right amount of insulin to treat them. Currently, there are many different protocols across the country to treat elevated blood sugar; however, there is no one specific protocol to treat elevated blood sugar at SUNY Downstate Medical Center at this time. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the change in blood sugar following insulin administration to determine whether there is a significantly different response between ESRD and non-ESRD patients. The results of the study will help develop safer practice guidelines to patients with ESRD with an elevated blood sugar while they are having surgery.
