NCT06933472
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if AP301 could work in the patients receiving maintenance dialysis with elevated blood phosphate. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does AP301 lower blood phosphate levels? * Does AP301 works on serum calcium level, calcium times phosphate level, and intact parathyroid hormone level? * What discomfort or medical problem do the patients have when taking AP301? * Does AP301 improve quality of life in Chinese patients? The researchers will compare AP301 to an ineffective comparator (a look-alike substance that contains low dose AP301) to see if AP301 works to treat elevated blood phosphate. In the study, the patients will experience the following stages in a chronicle order: * Stop all using blood phosphate-lowering drugs, * Take AP301 or the comparator three times a day for 8 weeks, * Take AP301 three times a day for 24 weeks, and * Take AP301 or the comparator three times a day for 3 weeks. In the first 32 weeks, the dose of AP301 will be adjusted upwards or downwards based on the patient's blood phosphate level and the study doctor's judgment. If the participant has a blood phosphate level above or below a certain level, they may receive additional treatment to lower the blood phosphate level.
NCT07368946
The proposed pilot feeding study aims to explore novel pathways in phosphate metabolism and identify new biomarkers, as well as to develop a compound index for assessing phosphate overload with high validity and reliability. Investigators will address the following specific aims: 1). To explore novel pathways of phosphate metabolism and assess the influence of CKD status on these metabolic pathways. 2). To identify novel biomarkers for phosphate overload that reflect changes in dietary phosphorus intake. 3). To develop a compound phosphate overload index that measures dietary phosphorus intake with high validity and reliability. This study will provide novel insights into phosphate metabolism and the assessment of phosphate overload in CKD patients. This investigation aims to provide preliminary data to further studies for the development of reliable biomarkers in CKD patients, which could contribute significantly to early interventions and improve health outcomes.
NCT07374042
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) complicates many pathologies and the rapid increase in its prevalence constitutes a major public health concern. Whatever the cause of kidney failure, high protein consumption is a factor of progression to end-stage kidney disease. A low-protein (0.6 g/kg/d) or a very low-protein (0.3 g/kg/d) diet associated with supplementation with amino acids and/or keto acid analogues (KA) slows down renal function deterioration and prolongs the time before dialysis start. Difficulties in strict protein restriction implementation limit its use to a minority of CKD patients and are difficult to implement in real life. Recently KDOQI guidelines have recommended a dietary protein intake of 0.55 to 0.6 g/kg/d in CKD 3 to 5 non-diabetic patients "metabolically stable" and 0.6 to 0.8 g/kg/d in diabetic patients. However, the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism and the French guidelines about management of CKD propose to maintain a protein intake between 0.6 and 0.8 g/kg/d for all patients and as near as possible to 0.6 g/kg/d. This is because for a population, a mean value of 0.66 g/kg/d insures that 95% of patients are above 0.55 g/kg/d (the minimum requirement to avoid a negative nitrogen balance). Experimental studies and few clinical studies suggest a protective effect of KA supplementation on uremic sarcopenia. Interestingly this effect is also observed in patients with a protein intake of 0.6 to 0.8 g/kg/d and with a dose of KA reduced by half compared to the dose used with VLPD. Moreover, in a preliminary study, we found a nephroprotective effect of KA (1 tablet/5kg body weight) in patients with an average dietary protein intake of 0.7 g/kg/d suggesting a specific effect of KA beyond protein restriction. The hypothesis is therefore that KA treatment (1 tablet/10kg), together with a dietary protein intake between 0.6 and 0.8g/kg/d, prevent muscle mass loss in patients with stages 4 and 5 CKD. If these results were confirmed, this could expand the population that could benefit from KA supplementation.

NCT05190744
The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness and safety of the medication PB in slowing the frequent urination related to tolvaptan as long-term treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), or frequent urination related to inherited nephrogenic diabetes insipidus as an inherited condition or as an acquired condition from prior treatment with lithium.
NCT07358572
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the interaction between the eyes, brain, and kidneys in adult patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The main question it aims to answer is: Do changes in the brain's network connectivity and the retina's blood vessels correlate with cognitive decline and kidney function in CKD patients? Participants with CKD who are already undergoing clinical care will complete cognitive tests and questionnaires, have non-invasive MRI scans of their brain and kidneys, and undergo non-invasive eye imaging (OCT/OCTA) of their retinas.

The study was aimed to determine the effect of resistance exercises and relaxation therapy on physical function and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesized if there was significant effect of resistance exercises and relaxation therapy on physical function and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease. Group A: Relaxation therapy and Resistance exercises. Group B: Resistance exercises.
NCT07364292
International guidelines for kidney failure emphasize the importance of aligning renal replacement therapy (RRT) modality selection with individuals' preferences through high-quality, structured education. However, observational qualitative studies suggest that pre-dialysis education remains inconsistently delivered, with substantial centre-to-centre variation in the content and organization of Belgian pre-dialysis programs despite a shared healthcare policy. Multiple barriers to home-based therapies have been repeatedly reported at both the unit and patient levels, including nursing shortages, limited availability of trained staff, financial constraints, high rates of unplanned dialysis initiation, distress at treatment start, low health literacy, and an increasingly frail and comorbid patient population. Yet, a minority of dialysis units appear able to mitigate these barriers more effectively than others. This discrepancy raises concern that centre-oriented priorities (unit throughput, cost-effectiveness, technical performance) may still outweigh patient-centred goals (supporting life priorities and meaningful shared decision-making). This study aims to explore nephrologists' beliefs, knowledge, and attitudes regarding shared decision-making in dialysis modality selection and their potential influence on the adoption of alternative RRT modalities beyond in-centre hemodialysis. Q methodology will be used to capture and compare shared viewpoints and patterns of disagreement across participants.
NCT00582621
The purpose of this study is to better understand the genetic causes of Hodgkin's disease (a kind of lymphoma) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as multiple myeloma, leukemia, and related diseases. The doctors have identified the patient because 1) they have had a lymphoproliferative disorder such as lymphoma, leukemia, or multiple myeloma, and have a family member with one of these disorders or 2) they are a member of a family with a lymphoproliferative disorder, including Hodgkin's disease and/or, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or a second cancer after Hodgkin's disease.
NCT00625755
This study will look how using taken from your tumors and mixed with special immune stimulating cells from another person's blood in given back to you in a series "fusion cell" injections, will effect your body. The primary goal of the study is to see if giving the experimental fusion cell injections is safe. We will also be looking to see what effect the experimental treatment as on your immune system and whether it has an effect on your cancer.
NCT05443321
Sub-optimal transfer of clinical information during inter-hospital transfer (IHT, the transfer of patients between acute care hospitals) is common and can lead to patient harm. To address this problem, the investigators will use key stakeholder input to refine and implement an interoperable health information exchange platform that integrates with the electronic health record and improves the reliability of and access to necessary clinical information in three use cases involving transfer of patients between sending and receiving hospitals with varying levels of affiliation and health record integration. The investigators will assess the effect of this intervention on frequency of medical errors, evaluate the use and usability of this platform from the perspective of those that interact with it, and use these results to develop a dissemination plan to spread implementation and use of this platform across other similar institutions.
NCT03901521
This study will analyze the germline and somatic mutations underlying the development of ADPKD in order to better understand the genetic mechanism responsible for the cystic transformation. Once identified, these mutations could help us understand better the mechanism leading to the development of this disease and may explain at least in part the phenotypic variability.
NCT06818136

NCT07146854
The goal of this observational study is to collect long-term safety and performance data for the use of the EndoForce System for connecting a hemodialysis graft to a vein in patients with End Stage Renal Disease. This is not an experimental procedure or an experimental therapy. This means that the study device has been approved by the FDA.
NCT07354958
This observational study will collect clinical and laboratory information from hospitalized patients with chronic kidney disease to identify diabetes mellitus and selected metabolic findings during hospitalization
NCT07348874
Kidney transplantation remains the only definitive treatment for end-stage renal disease, yet the increasing use of extended criteria donor (ECD) kidneys heightens the risk of ischemia-reperfusion injury, particularly under static cold storage (SCS). Continuous hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has been introduced to improve preservation quality, but robust clinical evidence regarding its predictive value for post-transplant outcomes in ECD kidneys after donation after brain death (DBD) is limited. The PRE-MAP Kidney Study is a prospective, non-interventional, multicenter observational study conducted across all German transplant centers. The study systematically collects technical machine perfusion parameters (flow, resistance, perfusion duration) and correlates these with clinical outcomes following kidney transplantation. The primary endpoint is 12-month kidney function (eGFR). Secondary endpoints include surgical complications, length of stay, and transplant-specific events (acute rejection, primary non-function, delayed graft function). This national cohort aims to determine the prognostic significance of HMP parameters in marginal donor kidneys and to generate evidence supporting future recommendations for organ preservation and allocation practices.
NCT06234605
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, safety, tolerability and efficacy study of HC-7366 in combination with belzutifan (WELIREG™). This is a multipart study that consists of a HC-7366 monotherapy cohort, a combination dose escalation, and a combination dose expansion. Approximately 80 patients will be enrolled in this study (up to 20 patients will be enrolled into the HC-7366 monotherapy cohort, up to 30 patients into the combination dose escalation, and up to 30 patients into the combination dose expansion). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of HC-7366 in combination with belzutifan in patients with locally advanced (inoperable) or metastatic RCC with predominantly clear cell histology, irrespective of VHL gene mutation status.
NCT06835972

The researchers will test different doses of the study drugs to find the highest doses that cause few or mild side effects in participants.
NCT07339098
This study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, non-randomized exploratory clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of an ultrasound stimulation device (NEFRONIX G-01) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Baseline functional assessments will be performed prior to intervention. Participants will receive ultrasound stimulation applied to the kidneys three times per week for four weeks according to the study protocol. Clinical evaluations will be conducted at baseline, at the end of treatment, and 12 weeks after completion of treatment. Renal function will be assessed using changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate based on serum creatinine (CKD-EPI eGFR Cr) and cystatin C (CKD-EPI eGFR CysC). Additional assessments will include imaging studies (Tc-99m DTPA renal scintigraphy and renal ultrasonography), urinalysis for proteinuria, inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), and renal injury biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin).
