Retrospective, multicenter, comparative, post-market study of the Tablo Hemodialysis System in hospitalized participants with End-Stage Renal Disease or Acute Kidney Injury.
NCT05295368
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health threat associated with significant morbidity, high mortality, and reduced quality of life. However, empirical evidence is limited on strategies to enhance the effectiveness of care for CKD. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of multicomponent primary care strategies in preserving kidney function among patients with CKD at primary care clinics in Singapore. Methods: A pragmatic, randomized controlled trial, in 4 socioeconomically diverse primary care clinics (polyclinics) in Singapore over 3 years. A total of 896 participants with CKD Stage 3 or worse aged ≥40 and \<80 years will be enrolled, with 224 from each polyclinic. Participants enrolled in each polyclinic will be randomly allocated to the intervention or usual care group in a 1:1 ratio. Intervention includes four components 1) training nurses as health coaches for motivational conversation and CKD specific lifestyle counseling on diet and exercise, using hybrid follow-up approach of in-person, telephone, and secure WhatsApp video meetings; 2)Training physicians in algorithm-based standardized management of CKD and hybrid care delivery;3) subsidy on sodium-glucose transport protein-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) for CKD; and 4) regular CKD case review meetings. Patients in the usual care arm will be treated by physicians and nurses who and are not trained in SKOPE treatment algorithms. Study outcomes: The primary outcome will be the eGFR total slope from randomization to final follow-up at 36 months. secondary effectiveness outcomes will be 1) Change in CVD risk score as measured by The Million Hearts Longitudinal ASCVD Risk Assessment score 2) Change in CKD quality of life measured by KDQOL-36TM
NCT02358967
Patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, attributed in part to increased oxidative stress, inflammation and dyslipidemia. Intervention with a naturally occurring dietary supplement may improve certain biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress and improve the lipid profile.
NCT03199924

NCT01668784
The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by duration of overall survival, of Nivolumab vs. Everolimus in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy
NCT02781506
Nivolumab (brand name Opdivo): IV, administered per standard of care according to institutional guidelines at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; SABR, dose variable, in 1-3 fractions.
NCT04646889
This is a 2-segment, multi-center, phase 1, open-label, study evaluating the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AR882 in subjects with various degrees of renal impairment.
NCT04944433
It is unknown whether Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines confer the same high level of protection in patients with kidney disease as reported for participants in recent trials, who were generally healthy. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines in hemodialysis patients.
NCT05488899
The objectives of this study are: Evaluation of ultra-low iodine load CTA protocols of the aorta and lower extremities. To investigate whether dual-layer in combination with with virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) allows for reduction of contrast medium (CM) in CTA of the aorta and lower limbs i with sustained objective and subjective image quality parameters.
NCT01061411
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dalteparin when given together with sunitinib malate in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, help prevent blood clots and have been shown to increase survival in patients with cancer. Anticoagulants may also prevent the formation of new blood vessels. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by inhibiting new blood vessels and blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving dalteparin together with sunitinib malate may starve tumors and kill more tumor cells.
NCT04896567
Endothelial progenitor cells that reside in renal vasculature may be stimulated to initiate differentiation programs during episodes of injury. It is hypothesized that endothelial progenitor cells resident in the kidney can transition to a post-injury phenotype that promotes endothelial repair.
NCT05424809
Background: Shared decision-making is a process where health professionals and patients work together through conversation and using tools to make the best possible decision for the person. Patient decision aids provide information based on the best available evidence, support the deliberative process, and further help clarifies individual patient values and preferences. Incorporating shared decision-making in clinical practice is challenging. Hypothesis: A proposed shared decision-making implementation model is feasible and improves patients' knowledge of possible treatment options, as well as patients' perception and degree of satisfaction with the decision-making process. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of implementing a shared decision-making model in a tertiary university hospital. Methods: It is proposed to carry out a pilot randomized clinical study (ratio 1:1), with two arms, in parallel, open, single center. Adult patients from two clinical processes will be included: a) Obesity (treatment options: bariatric surgery or medical management (healthy habits +/- pharmacological treatment), and b) Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD) (treatment options: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or conservative treatment). Since it is a pilot study, the investigators estimated a random sample of between 20 to 40 participants per intervention group and control group (total sample 40 to 80 per pathology) would be needed. The intervention group will carry out the shared decision-making model, and the control group will receive the usual clinical practice with detailed information from a health professional. The primary outcomes of interest to be evaluated are a) feasibility; b) quality of the decision and the decision-making process.
NCT02849899
Post-transplant diabetes affects 15 to 20% of renal transplant patients and contributes to increased morbidity and reduced survival of transplants and patients. Corticosteroids, anti-calcineurin and mammilian Target OF Rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors have a major diabetogenic impact and greatly contribute to the increase in diabetes prevalence after transplantation. There are to date few studies concerning the pharmacological prevention of post-transplant diabetes. Hecking et al. have recently reported that a short treatment with insulin, administered immediately after transplantation, reduce the incidence of de novo diabetes one-year post-transplant. This study included 50 renal transplant patients and showed that a three months treatment of (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) NPH insulin decreased HbA1c. The occurrence of diabetes, a secondary end-point, was reduced by 73% in the treated group. No further pharmacological strategy has been developed to date. Relevant experimental evidences suggest that gliptins could be used in the pharmacological prevention of post-transplant diabetes. These drugs are inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which inactivates the incretins, the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and the gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP). DPP-4 inhibition causes an increase in the GLP-1 and GIP concentrations which induce insulin secretion and inhibition of glucagon secretion. The gliptins are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Beyond the effects on blood glucose, gliptins have pleiotropic effects including a protective effect on β cells and anti-inflammatory effect. The additional cost associated with new-onset diabetes after transplantation could be also significantly reduced by efficient prevention. A US study found that, for the period between 1994 and 1998, a newly diagnosed diabetic patient has cost $21,500 of medical expenses 2 years after transplantation. Moreover, transplantation resulting in one of the best increases of patients' quality of life, its estimate is essential in the treatment evaluation of this population.
