NCT02547935
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether dapagliflozin alone or in combination with saxagliptin can decrease albuminuria and improve glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes, albuminuria and renal impairment (CKD).

NCT01896232
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with etelcalcetide (AMG 416) is not inferior to treatment with cinacalcet for lowering serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels by \> 30% from baseline among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) who require management with hemodialysis.
NCT01026337
Rationale: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. Purpose: This clinical trial is studying MRI in predicting response to sunitinib malate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.
NCT01370109
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sunitinib are used in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and have significant off-target effects with cardiac toxicity and resultant ventricular cardiac dysfunction being a major concern. However, the mechanisms of these effects in humans remains poorly defined, as are the clinical methods to risk stratify and identify patients who will ultimately suffer from cardiac dysfunction. The goal of this multi-center study is to characterize the cardiovascular measures of cardiac function; 2) comprehensive measures of arterial function and left ventricular afterload; 3) biomarkers reflective of the pathophysiologic alterations. Through this work, the investigators will translate our basic understanding of sunitinib cardiotoxicity to humans and identify early predictors of sunitinib cardiotoxicity.
NCT01473407
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate therapeutic equivalence of IV Epoetin Hospira compared to IV Epogen (Amgen), based on maintenance of Hb levels and study drug dose requirements in patients treated for anemia associated with chronic renal failure and on hemodialysis.
NCT02364648
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of mitochondria derived oxidative stress on vascular function in patients with moderate to severe Chronic Kidney Disease.
NCT01252810
To evaluate cardio-renal and overall safety profile of GE 145 320 mg I/ml Injection when compared to iopamidol 370 mg I/mL. The study will focus on elderly subjects with either chronic renal insufficiency, or diabetes mellitus (DM) requiring drug therapy, or congestive heart failure (CHF) NYHA Class III or greater, who are referred for a coronary catheterization procedure with or without PCI.
NCT01415167
The purpose of this registry is to collect information on patients who are receiving treatment with Proleukin in an organized way, and to learn more about patient care during and after treatment.
NCT00975000
Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is common in people with a kidney transplant. Patients with HPT often have high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and may have large parathyroid glands in the neck. Patients with HPT can develop bone disease (osteodystrophy). This bone disease can cause bone pain, fractures, and poor formation of red blood cells. Other problems from HPT may include increases in blood levels of calcium (hypercalcemia) and low blood levels of phosphorus (hypophosphatemia). The high calcium levels may cause calcium to deposit in body tissues. Calcium deposits can cause arthritis (joint pain and swelling), muscle inflammation, itching, gangrene (death of soft tissue), heart and lung problems or kidney transplant dysfunction (worsening of kidney transplant function). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of cinacalcet (Sensipar/Mimpara) on high calcium levels in the blood in patients with HPT after a kidney transplant.
NCT02414841
This research study is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug called vonapanitase (PRT-201) in patients both receiving or expecting to receive hemodialysis who have chronic kidney disease and who are undergoing surgery to create a new access point to their bloodstream for hemodialysis. Vonapanitase is a protein that has been shown in previous research studies to help keep vessels patent when applied to the outside surface of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) in patients who undergo surgery to create an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The purpose of this study is to determine whether vonapanitase when applied to a limited segment of your blood vessel (about 2 inches) immediately after surgery is safe and improves the patency of your AVF.
NCT01473420
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate therapeutic equivalence of subcutaneous (SC) Epoetin Hospira compared to SC Epogen (Amgen), based on maintenance of hemoglobin (Hb) levels and study drug dose requirements in patients treated for anemia associated with chronic renal failure and on hemodialysis.
NCT01907802
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dabrafenib in treating patients with solid tumors and kidney or liver dysfunction. Dabrafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT02285920
The SPin-D Trial is a phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study of spironolactone (SPL) for patients with hemodialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease.
NCT02064426
Evaluate efficacy and safety up to 36 months of titrated dose treatment with BAY85-3934 versus epoetin alfa/beta. Titration will be based on the subject's hemoglobin (Hb) response and tolerability of the prior dose. Planned doses include 15, 25, 50, 75, 100,and 150 mg once daily.
NCT01544491
The purpose of this study is to determine if everolimus combined with reduced exposure CNI (TAC) is efficacious and safe and will support corticosteroid elimination compared to a standard exposure CNI (TAC) + MMF + steroid regimen after paediatric kidney transplantation. An additional purpose of the study is to assess the effect of the combination of EVR and reduced exposure CNI (TAC) on renal function. This study is part of the requirements of the Paediatric Investigational Plan approved by Paediatric Committee at the European Medicines Agency (PDCO/EMA) on September 10, 2010, and is intended to support the indication of everolimus in the prevention of acute rejection in paediatric recipients of a renal transplant.
NCT03506854
This is a Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-Label, Parallel Group Adaptive Pharmacokinetic Single Dose Study of ISIS 681257 Subcutaneous Injections in Male And Female Subjects with Normal and Impaired Renal Function
NCT02833857
This is a study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics in pediatric patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism receiving a single dose of etelcalcetide at the end of hemodialysis.
NCT00005799
This clinical trial studies fludarabine phosphate, low-dose total body irradiation, and donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies or kidney cancer. Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate, and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine before the transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
NCT00773513
This 2 arm safety study will compare the outcome with respect to a composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke) in CKD participants either on dialysis or not receiving renal replacement therapy under treatment with methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta or reference ESAs. Participants will be randomized to receive intravenous (iv) or subcutaneous (sc) methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta at the following doses: for participants not already receiving ESA treatment, methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta will be administered at a starting dose of 0.6 micrograms per kilograms every 2 weeks (mcg/kg/2wks) iv or sc; for participants receiving maintenance ESA treatment, iv or sc methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta will be administered at an initial monthly dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms (mcg) depending on the weekly dose of ESA received prior to first methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta administration. Participants randomized to reference ESA treatment will receive iv or sc ESAs in accordance with their prescribed dosing information.
