NCT00920764
The study objective is to investigate the effects of three low doses of atrasentan on urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) levels in subjects with Type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Patients with Type 2 diabetes with nephropathy must be receiving a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor, such as an Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) for participation in this study. ACEi and ARB treatment are the standard of care for the management of proteinuria in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients.
NCT01762592
Study WX-20-002 will confirm diagnostic efficacy and safety of a PET/CT scan using Iodine (124I) Girentuximab performed during the diagnostic work-up in patients with indeterminate cT1-renal masses.
NCT00089570
The purpose of this study is to determine whether terlipressin is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) type 1 when compared to placebo.
NCT00064753
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if lowering homocysteine levels in renal transplant recipients with a multivitamin will reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease outcomes.
NCT02490202
Safety and efficacy study of SANGUINATE on reduction of delayed graft function (DGF) in patients who will be recipients of a donation after brain death (DBD) donor kidney.
NCT01155258
RATIONALE: Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine ditartrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving temsirolimus together with vinorelbine ditartrate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving temsirolimus and vinorelbine ditartrate together in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors.
NCT02370290
This pilot research trial studies quantitative imaging metrics derived from contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in enhancing assessment of disease status in patients with kidney cancer. Quantitative imaging is the extraction of quantifiable features from radiological images for the assessment of disease status. Collecting quantitative imaging metrics from CECT imaging may help doctors predict tumor aggressiveness and nuclear grade (tumor stage) and assess treatment response and prognosis in cancer imaging.
NCT00604565
In maintenance hemodialysis patients, regular administration of parenteral iron by addition of soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP) to the dialysate, when compared to conventional dialysate, is effective in preventing the development of iron deficiency, thereby maintaining hemoglobin level; is clinically safe and does not lead to oxidative stress or inflammation.
NCT00324571
This is a randomized, open-label, parallel-design study to be conducted at 75 centers within the United States. The study will be described to hemodialysis patients. Informed consent will be obtained and the inclusion/exclusion criteria reviewed. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either Renagel or a calcium-based binder. Starting from the randomization date, mortality data including survival, death date and cause of death (vital status information) and morbidity data including hospitalization date will be recorded for all patients. These data will be collected until the end of the study (December 31, 2004, ± 2 weeks). Patients completing or terminating from the study will return to the phosphate binder prescribed by their usual healthcare provider.
NCT00312117
Contrast nephropathy (CN) is a common cause of renal failure associated with prolonged hospitalization, significant morbidity/mortality, and cost. In addition, these patients may require temporary or permanent hemodialysis which, in turn, is associated with further morbidity, mortality, and cost. CN has been reported to account for 10% of hospital acquired renal failure. In recent years, studies have investigated preventive therapies with mixed results. Fenoldopam was found to be ineffective in a large randomized trial. Dopamine has been shown to be ineffective as a preventive strategy. Hemofiltration has been shown to be beneficial (New England Journal of Medicine \[NEJM\] 2003) but is costly and not practical. Mucomyst has shown mixed results. The single strategy which most would agree as being beneficial remains hydration, most commonly with intravenous 0.9% normal saline. Most recently, sodium bicarbonate has been shown to be beneficial in a small randomized trial (n=119). It is clear that the most cost effective strategies for treatment of CN should be aimed at prevention. The general question is: "Is a sodium bicarbonate solution more efficacious in preventing contrast nephropathy compared to normal saline?" The general hypothesis is that sodium bicarbonate will be more efficacious.
NCT00363883
Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic cancer of the urothelium.
NCT00861029
This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study to estimate the effects of daily oral dosing of 800 mg pazopanib on electrocardiographic parameters (QTc interval duration) as compared with placebo in subjects with solid tumors. Moxifloxacin, will serve as a positive control.
NCT00561093
Study of efficiency and safety of oral nutritional supplements with anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties combined with an appetite stimulant with anti-inflammatory properties (pentoxiphylline) in treatment of malnutrition-inflammation-cachexia syndrome in maintenance hemodialysis patients
NCT01281488
RATIONALE: Using fluorescence imaging may determine the extent of kidney tumors and help in planning surgery. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the best way to give indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in finding tumors in patients with kidney tumors
NCT01503021
The purpose of the parent study is to assess the short-term safety and tolerability of soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP) in dialysate administered to a large number of representative adult chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis (CKD-HD). The purpose of the extension study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of SFP.
NCT01460134
This is a study of CDX-1127, a therapy that targets the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects. The study enrolls patients with hematologic cancers (certain leukemias and lymphomas), as well as patients with select types of solid tumors.
NCT00726323
This clinical study is being conducted at multiple sites to determine the best confirmed response rate, safety, and tolerability of GSK1363089 treatment in papillary renal cell carcinoma. Papillary renal cell carcinoma may be classified into hereditary and sporadic forms; subjects with either classification will be accepted into this study.
NCT02577562

NCT00875563
The Zenith(R) Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft Clinical Study is a clinical investigation approved by the US FDA to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith(R) Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic and aorto-iliac aneurysms.
NCT00731211
This is a Phase II, non-randomized, open-label, single-arm study in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who have received one prior targeted therapy with either sunitinib or bevacizumab. The planned enrollment for this study is 60 patients.
