NCT01307267
A study of PF-05082566, a 4-1BB agonist monoclonal antibody (mAb), in patients with solid tumors or b-cell lymphomas, and in combination with rituximab in patients with CD20 positive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).
NCT01239342
This randomized phase II trial studies the side effects and how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 or everolimus works in treating patients with kidney cancer that does not respond to treatment. Akt inhibitor MK2206 and everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Everolimus may also stop the growth of kidney cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether Akt inhibitor MK2206 or everolimus is more effective in treating kidney cancer.
NCT00614679
The primary objective is to investigate the ability of systemic intravenous antibiotic plus antibiotic/anti-biofilm (i.e. N-acetylcysteine) lock catheter technique in eradicating uncomplicated catheter associated bacteremia and salvaging the infected vascular catheter. Secondary objectives include duration to clearance of bacteremia, future recurrence of bacteremia, need for catheter removal and death.

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). The study is planned to randomize a total of 450 patients (150 patients per treatment arm)
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.
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.
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.
NCT03055598
This research study is for participants that have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). ESRD is the last stage of chronic kidney disease. Anemia is very common in ESRD patients and require erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) for treatment. Anemia happens when there are not enough red blood cells in your body. ESAs work by helping the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. There are two ESAs licensed for the treatment of anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in the Unites States: epoetin alfa and darbopoetin alfa. ESA therapy is considered safe. However, major adverse effects should be acknowledged, including an increased risk of death, thromboembolic complications, stroke, heart attack, aplastic anemia, tumor progression, and others. To minimize risks of these adverse events, careful monitoring of hemoglobin levels, along with adjustment of ESA dosing, to maintain the lowest hemoglobin level clinically needed is recommended. Ferric Citrate, also called Auryxia, is an iron-based phosphate binder that may decrease ESA usage while maintaining hemoglobin levels. Phosphate binders are medications used to reduce the body's absorption of phosphate. In a prior study, it was seen that some laboratory values, such as iron levels, changed positively in response to Auryxia. In this study we want to see if using Auryxia will cause a change in laboratory values and lower the use of ESAs in ESRD patients.
NCT01984242
This multicenter, randomized, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of atezolizumab as monotherapy or in combination with bevacizumab versus sunitinib in participants with histologically confirmed, inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma who have not received prior systemic therapy either in the adjuvant or metastatic setting.
NCT01030783
This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multi-national, multi-center, parallel-arm trial comparing tivozanib to sorafenib in subjects with advanced RCC. The study is designed to compare the PFS, OS, ORR, DR, safety and tolerability, and kidney specific symptoms/health outcome measurements of tivozanib and sorafenib.
NCT02341664
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
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.
NCT01519947
This comparative, open-label, multicenter, parallel-group study evaluated the effect of altitude on the dose requirements of Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) to achieve a target hemoglobin concentration of 11-12 grams per deciliter (g/dL) in participants with chronic renal anemia in pre-dialysis and dialysis. Four groups of participants, at sea level (below 50 meters) or an altitude above 1800 meters, and pre-dialysis or dialysis, received 50-250 micrograms (mcg) Mircera subcutaneously (SC), according to the local prescribing label.
NCT00106301
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of extended treatment with FK228 in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma or hormone refractory prostate cancer who have at least demonstrated stable disease on prior Fujisawa sponsored FK228 clinical trials.
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.
