NCT05991089
In Tunisia, high blood pressure (HTN) is a public health problem whose prevalence varies from 28.7% to 34.7%. Hypertension can be both, cause and consequence of chronic kidney disease, and its prevalence is quite high in this population. It is both a risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, but also a major cause of terminal chronic kidney disease becoming an additional public health concern. Detecting and diagnosing chronic kidney in all hypertensives at an early stage remains a global public health challenge. A well-conducted treatment makes it possible to reach the blood pressure objective but also to reduce the risk of occurrence of a cardiovascular event and to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. In Tunisia, few data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in hypertensive subjects, thus limiting the development and elaboration of preventive measures. A national survey will thus be conducted by the "Kidney and Metabolic Diseases" Working Group under the aegis of the Tunisian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation. The main objective is to estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in hypertensive tunisian patients.
NCT04736628
This study is open to adults who have kidney disease that is not caused by diabetes. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called avenciguat (BI 685509) improves kidney function. Three different doses of avenciguat are tested in this study. Participants get either one of the three doses of avenciguat or placebo. It is decided by chance who gets which avenciguat dose and who gets placebo. Participants take avenciguat or placebo as tablets 3 times a day. Placebo tablets look like avenciguat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants continue taking their usual medicine for kidney disease throughout the study. Participants are in the study for about 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 11 times. Where possible, about 6 of the 11 visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. The trial staff may also contact the participants by phone or video call. Kidney function is assessed based on the analysis of urine samples, which participants collect at home. At the end of the trial the results are compared between the different doses of avenciguat and placebo. During the study, the doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
