NCT05797610
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of sefaxersen (RO7434656), a novel Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy in participants with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) who are at high risk of progressive kidney disease despite optimized supportive care.
NCT05894512
The aim of this observational study is to provide analysis of T and B lymphocyte subgroups in peripheral blood samples of patients with primary membranous nephropathy (MN). A search for disease-related circulating antibodies \[anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody (anti-PLA2R) and anti-thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A antibody (anti-THSD7A)\] in patients' sera is also planned. The main questions to answer are: 1. What is the relationship of these cell populations and their distribution during follow-up with treatment, treatment responses, and relapses? 2. What is the relationship of the cell populations with anti-PLA2R (or anti-THSD7A) antibody levels? Participants will provide peripheral venous blood samples at pre-designated regular intervals. The research team will compare results of the primary MN group with two control groups (IgA nephropathy and healthy volunteer groups) to see if the findings are specific for primary MN.

NCT03620773
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in youth is increasing in prevalence in parallel with the obesity epidemic. In the US, almost half of patients with renal failure have DKD, and ≥80% have T2D. Compared to adult-onset T2D, youth with T2D have a more aggressive phenotype with greater insulin resistance (IR), more rapid β-cell decline and higher prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), arguing for separate and dedicated studies in youth-onset T2D. Early DKD is characterized by changes in intrarenal hemodynamic function, including increased renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular pressure with resultant hyperfiltration, is common in Y-T2D, and predicts progressive DKD. Studies evaluating the two currently approved medications for treating T2D in youth (metformin and insulin) have shown these medications are not able to improve β-cell function over time in the youth. However, recent evidence suggests that bariatric surgery in adults is associated with improvements in diabetes outcomes, and even T2D remission in many patients. Limited data in youth also supports the benefits of bariatric surgery, regarding weight loss, glycemic control in T2D, and cardio-renal health. While weight loss is important, the acute effect of bariatric surgery on factors such as insulin resistance likely includes weight loss-independent mechanisms. A better understanding of the effects of bariatric surgery on pancreatic function, intrarenal hemodynamics, renal O2 and cardiovascular function in youth with obesity with or without diabetes is critical to help define mechanisms of surgical benefits, to help identify potential novel future non-surgical approaches to prevent pancreatic failure, DKD and cardiovascular disease. The investigators' overarching hypotheses are that: 1) Y-T2D is associated with IR, pancreatic dysfunction, intrarenal hemodynamic dysfunction, elevated renal O2 consumption and cardiovascular dysfunction which improve with bariatric surgery, 2) The early effect of bariatric surgery on intrarenal hemodynamics is mediated by improvement in IR and weight loss, 3) Some aspects of cardio-renal-metabolic complications of T2D are related to obesity and others to T2D independent of obesity. To address these hypotheses, the investigators will measure GFR, RPF, glomerular pressure and renal O2, in addition to aortic stiffness, β-cell function and insulin sensitivity in youth ages 12-21 with T2D (n=40) and in (n=up to 10) youth with similar BMI but without diabetes, before and after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). To further investigate the mechanisms of renal damage in youth with T2D, two optional procedures are included in the study prior to vertical sleeve gastrectomy: 1) kidney biopsy procedure and 2) induction of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to assess morphometrics and genetic expression of renal tissue.

Intervention: OBI 1000 mg on days 1 and 15, with two additional infusions after 6 months if anti-PLA2R antibody levels remain positive and proteinuria exceeds 2 g/24h. Follow-up: Patients were monitored at baseline, and at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 37, and 52.
NCT07266181
This study is a single-center, prospective, exploratory Phase I clinical trial initiated by the team led by Associate Professor He Lijie from the Department of Nephrology, Xijing Hospital. Prior to receiving CAR-T cell therapy, patients will undergo lymphodepletion chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide (fludarabine will be added if necessary). After prophylactic administration of antihistamines and acetaminophen, patients will be infused with CD19 CAR-T cells at a dose of 1×10⁶ cells/kg. In the subsequent 2 weeks, patients will be hospitalized for monitoring of vital signs and adverse reactions. The planned follow-up duration of this study is 1 years.

NCT05398653
This study was divided into two stages. In the first stage (Phase Ib), 30 subjects were randomly divided into MIL62 600mg, MIL62 1000mg and cyclosporine groups at a ratio of 1:1:1, with 10 subjects in each group. Tolerance to MIL62 was evaluated within 4 weeks after the first administration. If the overall safety is determined by the investigator and sponsor to be tolerable to MIL62, phase II enrollment will be initiated. The second stage(Phase II) was also randomly divided into MIL62 600mg, MIL62 1000mg and cyclosporine groups according to the ratio of 1:1:1, 20 subjects in each group, to evaluate the efficacy of MIL62 and cyclosporine in the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy. Eligible subjects in both phases received treatment and follow-up for a total of 104 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoints were the 12-week immune remission rate and the 24-week overall remission rate.
NCT03216967
BK virus nephropathy (BKVN), a consequence of the strong immunosuppressive therapy given after kidney transplantation, represents a growing problem in the kidney transplant (KT) setting. In recent cohorts, BKVN concerns up to 10% of kidney transplant recipients and early signs of BK virus (BKV) infection as development of asymptomatic viruria and viremia are even much more frequent (40% and 20% of patients, respectively). In this context, finding strategies to prevent BKV infection or treat patients before the occurrence of BKV nephropathy is challenging. For several years, detection of BKV replication by real-time PCR in urine and/or blood of kidney transplant recipients at early stages of infection allowed adaptation of their therapy. As BKV reactivates essentially in patients with over-immunosuppression, the first step of the treatment is the reduction of immunosuppression. However, reducing immunosuppression (IS) can lead to acute rejection and allograft loss. Other treatments have been proposed (cidofovir, quinolones) but their toxicity profile or their lack of clinical efficacy are now demonstrated. Hence, an efficient and safe strategy against uncontrolled BKV replication is urgently needed. MTor-inhibitors are well known immunosuppressive drugs used in organ transplantation to prevent graft-rejection. They have furthermore anti-viral effects that can be beneficial for prevention of viral infections after transplantation. Recent evidence that inhibition of mTor pathway had an impact on BK infected cells provides additional insight into the observed benefits associated with these drugs. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of the mTor inhibitor everolimus on the prevention of severe BKV infection (BKV nephropathy or loss of the allograft) after kidney transplantation compared to the reduction of immunosuppression alone in kidney recipients with BK viremia.
