NCT03849118
89Zr-TLX250 is under clinical development as a diagnostic agent targeting clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
NCT04044963
Pre-operative physical functioning has been acknowledged as a factor influencing post-operative complication risk, recovery progression and mortality risk. Current guidelines have yet to focus on the pre-operative period as a potential target to improve levels of physical functioning before renal transplantation. This project proposes the introduction of an exercise intervention pre-operatively to mitigate functional decline pre-operatively and improve post-operative outcomes following renal transplantation. We hypothesize that a home-based exercise prehabilitation program prior to kidney transplantation will result in improved functional outcomes including the 6-minute walk test, 60-second timed sit to stand, Fried Frailty Score, quality of life and fatigue. Further we hypothesize that prehabilitation will result in improved outcomes regarding post-operative recovery, complication rate, length of stay and mortality. Objectives A) Identify whether a prehabilitation program can mitigate functional decline pre-operatively regarding walking speed, strength, endurance, quality of life and fatigue B) To determine whether a tailored home-based exercise program prior to kidney transplantation is feasible with regards to adherence in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). C) To determine if a prehabilitation program results in improved clinical outcomes within one week following Kidney Transplantation (KT) as well as at 30 and 90 days including but not limited to time to first ambulation, time to first bowel movement, postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification), mortality and length of stay. D) Quantify the differences described above, if any exist.
NCT02976792
Postoperative acute renal failure is a frequent complication after a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). The current practice cannot predict Acute Kidney Injuries (AKI) early enough to prevent an organic dysfunction triggering, consequently, cortical tubular necrosis. Several recent studies in cardiac surgery have shown that sonographic criteria, the Renal Resistive Index (IRR), and a urinary biomarker, the NephroCheck™, could predict AKI promptly. These markers, sonographic and biologic, have both the advantage to be non-invasive and easy to perform. Each marker seems to have sensitivity and specificity to predict AKI promptly after cardiac surgery. Therefore, the IRR and the NephroCheck™ test could become essential tests to guide clinicians in determining rapidly whether a patient will develop AKI after a TAVI procedure. However, so far, no study has tested the NephroCheck™ in patients undergoing TAVI. Therefore, the aim of this prospective observational study will be first to determine the effectiveness of the NephroCheck™ to predict AKI at an early stage after a TAVI procedure. The secondary outcome will be to compare the NephroCheck™ with the RRI in predicting at an earlier stage than the traditional method an AKI.
NCT06416761

NCT03674307
The Canadian Australasian Randomized Trial of Screening Kidney Transplant Candidates for Coronary Artery Disease (CARSK) will test the hypothesis that eliminating the regular use of non-invasive screening tests for CAD AFTER waitlist activation is not inferior to regular (i.e., annual) screening for CAD during wait-listing for the prevention of Major Adverse Cardiac Events. Secondary analyses will assess the impact of screening on the rate of transplantation, and the relative cost-effectiveness of screening.
NCT03302546
The Hemodialysis Unit of the Hospital Ramon y Cajal is a pioneer in the implementation of a program of incremental hemodialysis, starting with two sessions a week in patients with residual renal function. The main objective is to compare whether the initiation of hemodialysis with two sessions a week over conventional pattern of initiation of three sessions a week better preserves residual renal function.
NCT04794517
This is a phase 2b, prospective, randomized, cross-over, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial primarily aimed at assessing whether the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin ameliorates hyperfiltration and reduces proteinuria as compared to placebo in patients with non-diabetic CKD, with particular focus on those at highest risk of progression to end stage kidney disease (ESKD) because of severe renal insufficiency (Stage IV CKD) and proteinuria (\>0.5 g/24 hours). The study will also evaluate renal and systemic mechanisms mediating treatment effects on GFR and will explore biochemical factors possibly mediating these effects.
NCT05356403
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral difelikefalin administered as a 1 mg tablet once daily compared to placebo in reducing the intensity of itch in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with moderate-to-severe pruritus. This study is comprised of an Efficacy Assessment Phase and a Long-term Extension Phase. The Efficacy Assessment Phase includes a double-blind 12-week Treatment Period (Treatment Period 1), and the Long-term Extension Phase includes a double-blind Treatment Period (Treatment Period 2) of up to 52 weeks.
NCT06401135
The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of different IMT protocols on respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, quadriceps femoris muscle strength (QMS), handgrip muscle strength (HGS), QoL, respiratory function, dyspnoea, fatigue, balance, and PA levels in patients with CKD that were not on dialysis.
NCT01398306
The primary objective of this study is to analyse the concentration dopamine and serotonin in thrombocytes of patients with renal cell carcinoma and neuro-endocrine tumours compared to the concentrations of these catecholamines in healthy volunteers. The concentration dopamine and serotonin in thrombocytes with and without medication will also be evaluated.
NCT03493802
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) present with abnormal endothelial function, increased levels of NOX4 activity and mitochondrial abnormalities, contributing to oxidative stress from early stages that correlate with disease severity.
NCT06394986
This is a single-arm cohort study aimed to evaluate change of arteriovenous fistula volume blood flow / cardiac output ratio in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA I-II classes) and with preserved ejection fraction as a result of a hemodialysis session after a "long" interdialysis interval.
NCT06398002
Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. High parathyroid hormone (PTH) from secondary hyperparathyroidism leads to increased efflux of phosphate and calcium from bone, which exacerbates vascular calcification and increases the risk of bone fractures. The main driving factor for secondary hyperparathyroidism is hypocalcaemia caused by low levels of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D and pharmacological supplementation with activated vitamin D and oral calcium-containing phosphate-binders are used to control secondary hyperparathyroidism. The amount of calcium used in this context is controversial, as higher calcium load in blood may theoretically increase vascular calcification. Conversely, by alleviating the efflux of phosphate and calcium from bone due to secondary hyperparathyroidism, increasing the load of calcium might actually prevent vascular calcification. To study this further, we wish to conduct a randomised double-blinded controlled clinical trial of increasing dialysate Ca from 1.25 mmol/L (standard dialysate concentration) to 1.50 mmol/L in patients with ESKD and secondary hyperparathyroidism on maintenance haemodialysis (HD). The overall effect of increased dialysate calcium will be gauged by its effect on serum calcification propensity (T50) and on markers of bone turnover.

NCT02902120
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients treated for chronic hepatitis C (HCV) with zepatier (grazoprevir/elbasvir) prior to kidney transplant will have a stronger immune response compared to patients treated after kidney transplant. 25 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and HCV will be treated with zepatier and 25 kidney transplant recipients with chronic kidney disease will be treated with zepatier. Blood markers of immune function will be monitored in both groups to determine their response to therapy.
