NCT06350123
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin compared with dapagliflozin alone on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and albuminuria. This study will evaluate the effect of the balcinrenone/dapagliflozin on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), compared with dapagliflozin in patients with CKD. This is a dose-finding study aiming to identify an optimal dose of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin for a future Phase III study in patients with CKD.
NCT06976762
Participants were selected based on three groups: healthy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic renal disease. NIRS was used to measure tissue oxygenation on the thenar region of the right hand. A pressure cuff was used to temporarily occlude arterial inflow, thus allowing the response to this to be assessed. The StO2 was plotted against time, and the following variables were calculated, the downslope, upslope, area under curve.
NCT04185844
Despite many advances in our understanding of the natural history and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardio vascular disease (CVD) in the parent CRIC study over the past 15 years, important questions about key risk factors for these diseases remain unanswered in the AI population. To address this burden of CKD in AI communities Investigators formed a consortium of investigators with extensive experience in conducting research of chronic diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular and kidney disease in AIs of Southwestern US. The proposed CRIC ancillary cohort study of 500 AIs (AI-CRIC) will rapidly improve our understanding of both potential risk factors for CKD progression, as well as the scope of this disease among AIs. This study leverages the current CRIC study and incorporates the planned activities of the next phase of the study - "CRIC 2018" - by implementing contemporary CRIC protocols for kidney and cardiovascular measurement and outcomes.
NCT05349955
The Effects and Safety of Diabetic GUideline Algorithm Implementation in the Community (GUARD-Community) study is a 2-arm, cluster-randomized control trial to evaluate the effect and safety of guideline algorithm intervention performed by primary care physicians on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in elderly patients with high risk in community.
NCT05497518
For chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is a lack of unique and powerful platform for patient engagement, research studies and public health advocacy work. The National kidney Foundation (NKF) launched the first nationwide registry for people at all stages and types of CKD, including people on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients, called the KidneyCARE Study (kidneycarestudy.org). The KidneyCARE Study is a non-interventional research study which means participants will not have to take medications or do any additional tests to participate. They are simply asked to share some personal and health information, and their experiences with their disease through a secure portal. The Study also collaborates with health systems to obtain additional electronic health records (EHR) data. This unique combination of data collected will address the gap of individualized educational resources and will enhance clinical research, clinical care, and health policy decisions to be centered on the patient. The Study is all online and can be accessed any time of day at kidneycarestudy.org. Participation is voluntary and free.
NCT06968130
Purpose: This study aims to examine the effects of virtual reality glasses and breathing exercises on symptoms and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Design: This randomized controlled cross-sectional study will be conducted in the hemodialysis units of 3 state and 2 private hospitals. Individuals over 18 years old, diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), on hemodialysis for at least 3 months, without communication barriers, and volunteering to participate will be included. A power analysis using G\*Power (v3.1.7) determined a sample size of 53 individuals per group for 80% power at α=0.05. Data will be collected through a demographic questionnaire, Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI), and WHOQOL-Bref-TR, with permission obtained from scale developers. Participants will be randomized into three groups: Experiment 1 (Virtual Reality Group): After completing the initial scales, patients will watch a 20-minute nature simulation via virtual reality glasses before and after hemodialysis. This will be repeated in two follow-up sessions one week apart, followed by scale administration. Experiment 2 (Breathing Exercise Group): Patients will perform deep breathing exercises guided by the researcher: 1 minute normal breathing, 3 minutes chest breathing, 3 minutes diaphragmatic breathing, 2 minutes pursed-lip breathing, and 1 minute normal breathing. Exercises will be conducted for 10 minutes before and after hemodialysis, repeated in two follow-up sessions one week apart, with post-session scale completion. Control Group: Patients will receive routine hemodialysis without any additional intervention. The same scales will be administered at baseline and during two follow-ups one week apart. Statistics: Data analysis will be performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Software. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, frequency, ratio) will be used. The Shapiro-Wilk test and box plot graphics will assess normality. For comparisons: ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Tukey's post-hoc test, Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact chi-square test, Bonferroni test, and multiple regression model analyses. Significance will be set at p\<0.05.
NCT03645681
The CSP-1001 study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InnAVasc arteriovenous graft (AVG) when implanted in and used for hemodialysis in participants suffering from end stage renal failure (ESRD). The InnAVasc AVG is implanted and used similar to other standard of care dialysis grafts currently on the market. However, the InnAVasc AVG has been uniquely designed to potentially allow for immediate needle access (same day as implant surgery as opposed to 2-4 weeks of waiting), to potentially reduce excessive bleeding from the graft after dialysis, and it may provide protection from improper or missed needle cannulation attempts.
NCT06963372
This exploratory study investigates the impact of indoor air quality improvement via air purifiers on the health of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. A randomized, single-blind, crossover study with 24 CKD patients and 24 healthy controls was conducted at two hospitals. Participants used either a true filter or a sham filter in air purifiers for four weeks each, with a two-week washout period. True filters significantly reduced indoor PM2.5 levels compared to sham filters. Higher indoor PM2.5 levels were associated with increased cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8/CXCL8) and decreased hemoglobin, with ESR and PWV showing an increasing trend, particularly in CKD patients. True filters significantly reduced IL-1beta and IL-8/CXCL8 levels, with a borderline significant reduction in ABI. The study confirmed limited but notable effects of air purifiers on reducing PM2.5 and improving some health markers in CKD patients.
NCT06707038
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the African American Transplant Access Program can be successfully replicated at another large kidney transplant program. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the AATAP intervention increase the number of Black patients who are listed for kidney transplant? Does the AATAP intervention have an effect on Black patient self-efficacy and trust in care team? Researchers will compare kidney transplant listing status after 12 months of patients in the AATAP intervention to usual care patients to see if the AATAP program increases the number of patients listed for transplant.
NCT05043090
A clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of savolitinib plus durvalumab versus sunitinib in MET-driven (hepatocyte growth factor receptor), unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC (Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma).
NCT06961162
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the role of ultrasonic viscoelastic parameters in the assessing the severity of chronic kidney disease. The main question it aims to answer is: The accuracy of ultrasonic viscoelastic parameters in evaluating the degree of renal fibrosis and inflammation.
NCT02132741
Patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic kidney disease are at an increased risk of developing heart disease and strokes. Part of this risk is due to changes in the structure and function of the blood vessels throughout the body. It is thought that reducing high blood pressure and treating chronic kidney disease improves the structure and function of blood vessels but information on this is limited. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a method of looking at the blood vessels at the back of the eye. It is a simple, quick and non-invasive test that you may have previously had during a visit to the optician. The purpose of the study is to ascertain whether OCT is able to detect changes in the eye's blood vessels in patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease compared to healthy individuals and also to see if any differences seen improve with treatment.
NCT06960304
For patients living with Chronic Kidney Disease who are preparing to start hemodialysis, having a well-functioning arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is essential. Although the AVF is considered the best type of vascular access, its maturation process does not always go as expected-studies show that in 28% to 53% of cases, the fistula does not mature properly, making effective dialysis more difficult. There is growing interest in using physical exercise as a way to support AVF maturation. International guidelines even recommend arm exercises for this purpose. However, there is still no clear agreement on what type of exercise, how often, or how intense it should be. This study aims to evaluate whether a structured exercise program focused on the AVF arm can help improve the fistula's development and overall function.
NCT05127824
The purpose of this study is to estimate the probability of immune response for the combination treatment of dendritic cell vaccine with oral cabozantinib and characterize the safety profile of interventional therapy.
NCT06956872
This study is a 6-month, pragmatic, multi-center, sequentially recruited, stratified, open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in Malaysia. It aims to determine the clinical effectiveness of a culturally adapted, gamified mobile health app (MyNutriKidney®) supplementing standard care, compared to standard care alone, for improving dietary self-management among 200 adults with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stages 3-5. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1, stratified by age and education) into either (i) the intervention group (MyNutriKidney® app + standard care) or (ii) the control group (standard care, including routine dietary counseling and printed materials). The co-primary outcomes are changes in Dietary Adherence (measured by CKD Diet Score) and Nutrition Literacy (measured by NLS score) from baseline to 6 months.
NCT02440334
The purpose of the proposed trial is to determine whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to assess the recurrence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after cryoablation compared to contrast enhanced CT or MR (the standard evaluation). This study involves the off-label use of an FDA-approved ultrasound contrast agent, Optison that flows in the vascularity. CEUS will be performed by both two and three dimensional ultrasound to examine post-cryoablation vascularity changes to screen for recurrent disease.
NCT04741646
We will conduct a 12-month, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the effects of therapy with ferric citrate (FC) on changes in intact FGF23 levels (iFGF23, primary endpoint) in 160 pediatric patients (80 in each of the two arms) aged 6-18 years of either sex with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-4 and age-appropriate normal serum phosphate levels. Participants will be randomized to one of the two groups: 1) FC or 2) FC placebo. Participants will be recruited from 20 core clinical sites.
NCT06226649
This is a randomized controlled feasibility trial conducted on patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and their significant other
NCT01644903
This study is being done to test blood, urine and tissue samples to see if this can help decide if CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), AR (Acute Rejection) and HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) can be identified in its early stages. CKD damage to the kidneys, AR and HCV all lower the body's ability to function properly. Early detection of these conditions could assist with successful treatment and possibly lead to less repeat organ transplants.
NCT02671552
This pilot clinical trial compares the imaging results of contrast-enhanced ultrasound to contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT), the current clinical standard, in predicting treatment response in patients with kidney cancer undergoing cryosurgery (a procedure in which an extremely cold liquid or an instrument called a cryoprobe is used to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue). Using contrast-enhanced ultrasound that does not involve a dye may help patients avoid side effects from a dye that is usually used in MRI or CT and may help doctors measure blood flow and determine whether the cryosurgery procedure treated the kidney tumor.
