NCT06661720
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding tivozanib to standard therapy pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone for the treatment of patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tivozanib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving pembrolizumab and tivozanib together may work better than pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with RCC.
NCT07194590
The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is significantly elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Notably, women with CKD commonly experience menstrual disturbances induced by CKD, which may contribute to impaired vascular function and elevated CVD risk. However, most of the literature in nephrology focuses on male patients, and studies on women's vascular health are limited. Establishing effective therapies for improving vascular function and reducing CVD risk in women with CKD is a high research priority of the NIH. Equol contributes to improvement in vascular function, mediated in part by its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. However, there is no information on the effect of equol on vascular function in women with CKD. The proposed project aims to determine the effect of 12 weeks of oral equol supplementation on vascular function in postmenopausal women with CKD.
NCT06422871
The goal of this observational study is to increase the understanding of the safety and performance of Merit Medical's HeRO Graft System (HeRO) and Super HeRO Adaptor and Support Seal System (Super HeRO) devices. This study includes adults that are being treated with one of these devices as part of their regular medical care for maintaining long-term dialysis access when all other dialysis access options have failed. If participants in the study are not seen for a standard of care clinic visit during the 4 visit timepoints over 2 years, the participant will be followed by phone to check their current health and dialysis status.
NCT05361434
The purpose of this study is to collect data to describe the safety and effectiveness of cabozantinib and nivolumab in combination as a first-line treatment in adults with aRCC with clear cell-component, according to real-world clinical practice. The decision to prescribe cabozantinib and nivolumab in combination will be made prior to, and independently from, the decision to enrol the participant in study.
NCT02984124
This multicenter RCT of 200 hospitalized patients and their family members evaluates an "informed assent" approach to discussing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, compared to usual care, in older seriously ill hospitalized patients with severe life-limiting illness or severe functional impairment.
NCT05725421
This study is designed to investigate a novel approach to offer more ESRD participants the benefits associated with renal transplantation by increasing the supply of available allografts
NCT07610252
There is a dearth of information comparing ultra-mini PNCL with ESWI in Pakistan for kidney stones smaller than 20 mm. Hence the current study was planned with the objective of comparing the outcome of ESWL and ultra-mini PCNL in renal stones less than 20 mm.
NCT02231749
The purpose of this study is to compare the objective response rate, progression free survival and the overall survival of Nivolumab combined with Ipilimumab to Sunitinib monotherapy in patients with previously untreated Renal Cell Cancer.
NCT03389932
Today, there are 25 million Americans with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 660,000 patients in full kidney failure, the final CKD stage, known as end stage renal disease (ESRD). Over half of ESRD patients are Black, Hispanic, or Asian. ESRD patients must either receive regular dialysis treatments, by which waste is filtered from the blood by a machine, or a kidney transplant from a deceased or living donor. Five-year survival on dialysis is only 40%, compared to 74% with a deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) and 87% with a living donor kidney transplant (LDKT). Despite the known health benefits of DDKT and LDKT, 70% of ESRD patients remain on dialysis, especially ethnic/racial minorities. An American Society of Transplantation (AST) Consensus Conference recently recommended that patients in all CKD stages should have the opportunity to learn about and decide which treatment option is right for them, particularly about LDKT. However, early education about LDKT and DDKT is inconsistent and often poor, with early stage CKD patients and ethnic/racial minorities even less likely to receive it. Through previous HRSA grants, Dr. Waterman designed the Explore Transplant@Home (ET@Home) video-guided education program, and found that it significantly increased LDKT knowledge and informed decision-making for Black and White dialysis patients in Missouri when delivered by mail and supported through bimonthly postcards and texting. Now based at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), she has partnered with Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC), an integrated learning healthcare system providing insurance coverage and comprehensive care to 65,000 patients in CKD Stages 3, 4 and 5 (ESRD) (24% Hispanic, 52% White, 15% Black, and 9% Asian; 10% Spanish-speaking).
NCT03172754
This is a Phase I/II, open-label, multi-center study of axitinib in combination with nivolumab in patients with previously treated and untreated advanced RCC. This clinical study will be composed of a dose finding phase (Phase I) and two parallel dose expansion phases (Phase II). The dose finding phase will assess the safety of the combination and establish a recommended phase II dose (RP2D, the highest tested dose that is declared safe and tolerable by the Investigators and the Sponsor Investigator) in patients with advanced RCC who have received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Phase II will evaluate the efficacy of the combination at the RP2D in two parallel expansion cohorts in both previously treated and treatment naïve patients.
NCT06369064
In patients requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the intensive care unit (ICU), continuous techniques are predominantly using due to better hemodynamic tolerance. The most employed techniques in ICU are continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) and continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD). To our knowledge, there are no prospective studies comparing the efficiency of these two techniques with the same dose of dialysis (and the same filter). In the CompEER study, we aim to compare the efficiency of CVVHD and CVVHDF on urea reduction rate in intensive care patients with acute kidney injury. The research hypothesis is that CVVHD citrate technique is as effective as CVVHDF heparin technique for urea reduction and provides prolonged and stable clearance, facilitating antibiotic management during RRT.
NCT05527574
One of the most common problems in people with diabetes (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the high frequency of other coinciding medical conditions such as osteoporosis and frailty. Frailty in particular is very common in adults with DM and CKD and it can result in significant muscle weakness which can result in increasing difficulties with performing activities of daily life (ADL). This can lead to an increase risk for falls, bone fractures and increasing hospitalization. The investigators have showed that adults with DM and CKD who have frailty use hospital services more frequently, have reduced quality of life and difficulties with performing their ADLs1. There is some evidence that early screening for frailty and lifestyle interventions that focus on healthier eating and physical activity can help prevent frailty from getting worse. The study purpose is to develop and test a home-based lifestyle intervention program focused on optimizing diet and the ability to perform your ADLs in adults with DM and CKD. The goal of this program is to ensure that adults with DM can live healthier lives within the community.
NCT05797506
The Sulforaphane Production System® in Avmacol Extra Strength (ES) supplies broccoli seed extract (glucoraphanin) and Myrosimax® (Active Myrosinase Enzyme) which helps promote sulforaphane production in your body. The investigators hypothesize that daily intake of Avmacol ES can decrease kidney disease progression rate and decrease markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. They will test this hypothesis in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 2 clinical trial. This proposed study has been funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), R01 DK128677.
NCT07593352
The NEPHRO-IBD study is a multicenter prospective observational study designed to evaluate the prevalence of renal dysfunction and renal complications in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with individuals from the general population. Although extraintestinal manifestations are common in IBD, renal involvement remains relatively underrecognized and insufficiently studied. The study will recruit approximately 6,000 participants, including 3,000 patients with confirmed IBD (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) and 3,000 individuals without IBD serving as a control group. Participants will undergo routine clinical assessment, including laboratory tests, urinalysis with measurement of the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), and imaging evaluation of the kidneys and urinary tract. Disease activity in patients with IBD will be assessed using validated clinical indices. The study will also evaluate the relationship between renal dysfunction and disease activity, medications used in IBD treatment, and comorbidities. The results of this study are expected to improve the understanding of renal complications in patients with IBD and support earlier identification and management of kidney disease in this population.
NCT04523727
This study will be conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of ferric citrate in pediatric participants with hyperphosphatemia related to chronic kidney disease (CKD).
NCT04963153
This phase Ib trial evaluates the best dose, potential benefits, and/or side effects of erdafitinib in combination with enfortumab vedotin in treating patients with bladder cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and possesses genetic alterations in FGFR2/3 genes. Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. It is a type of antibody-drug conjugate. Giving erdafitinib in combination with enfortumab vedotin may shrink or stabilize metastatic bladder cancer with alterations in FGFR 2/3 genes.
NCT07523867
This study evaluates the safety of finerenone compared with alternate-day spironolactone in patients with heart failure and diabetic kidney disease at increased risk of hyperkalemia. Patients with chronic kidney disease and heart failure often benefit from mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, but their use is frequently limited by elevated potassium levels. Finerenone has been associated with a lower risk of hyperkalemia in clinical trials, but direct comparisons with spironolactone in high-risk patients are limited. In this randomized study, eligible participants will be assigned to receive either finerenone once daily or spironolactone on alternate days, in addition to standard therapy. Patients will be closely monitored during hospitalization and followed for 4 weeks. The primary outcome is clinically relevant hyperkalemia, defined by elevated potassium levels or the need to adjust or discontinue treatment due to hyperkalemia. Secondary outcomes include changes in potassium levels, kidney function, and clinical events. This study aims to provide practical evidence to guide the safe use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients at high risk for hyperkalemia.
NCT07161037
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of VX-407 on height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV), safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of VX-407.
NCT02298959
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ziv-aflibercept when given together with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumors that that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Ziv-afibercept works by decreasing blood and nutrient supply to the tumor, which may result in shrinking the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ziv-aflibercept together with pembrolizumab may be a better treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors.
NCT06852638
This study aims to determine the value of cluster of differentiation (CD70)-targeted immuno-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (immunoPET/CT) imaging for diagnosing human malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma (particularly clear cell renal cell carcinoma), lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), among others.
