This research study is being done to compare the effectiveness and safety of frexalimab, a medication given as an injection under the skin every 4 weeks, with tacrolimus, a commonly used anti-rejection medication taken by mouth. The study will include adults ages 18 to 70 who are receiving their first kidney transplant and have a low to moderate risk of rejecting the transplanted kidney. Participants who qualify may take part in the study for up to 5 years.
AKI is a condition where the kidneys are not able to make enough urine. Therefore, another way to remove waste from the body is needed. One way of removing waste from the body is called Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy (CKRT). There are different types of CKRT, but all allow waste to be removed from your body because the kidneys can not do this any longer. Acute kidney injury can also cause your immune system to not work correctly and this may be one of the reasons that AKI is such a deadly condition. White blood cells, which are key parts of the immune system, are overactive in AKI and may be the reason the immune system doesn't work the way it should. The experimental device is a Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD). It is a set of tubing and a cartridge that is connected in series to a CKRT circuit. The SCD binds and stops overactive white blood cells. The purpose of this study is to test if the SCD helps someone with AKI recover faster than without it.
Individuals with obesity and a history of heart failure (condition where heart does not effectively pump) with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (measure of the heart's pumping ability) will be eligible for participation. Study participants will have a 50:50 chance to be randomly assigned to either the treatment (NNC0487-0111) or control (placebo) group. NNC0487-011 and placebo will be delivered in an injectable pen device for a subcutaneous, once weekly injection. Placebo means there is no active study treatment) Study participation will last approximately three years and begin with a screening period to ensure correct patient selection. After the screening period, research clinic visits will occur every 4 weeks initially and then every 12 weeks. Some visits may be completed virtually through telehealth or by phone. Study procedures include but are not limited to: blood draws, questionnaires, self injection of study medication, medical history review, vital signs, and electrocardiogram (test that records the heart's electrical activity) The study's primary objective is to demonstrate that study drug vs. once weekly placebo, with standard of care, reduces the risk of a composite heart failure outcome consisting of cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visit in patients with heart failure with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction and obesity.
The Velocity Percutaneous Arterio-Venous System is a minimally invasive method of creating hemodialysis vascular access. The study aims to understand clinical efficacy and initial clinical safety data of the device.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with diagnosed with unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The study is testing investigational drugs called pumitamig."Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), of pumitamig administered in combination with ipilimumab or cabozantinib. The study drug is given by infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for about 4 years.
The purpose of this research study is to confirm the safety of the study drug (Prismocitrate 18) and the study device for patients with acute kidney injury receiving a type of dialysis treatment known as Continuous Renal replacement Therapy (CRRT). When a patient receives CRRT, a blood thinner (also known as an "anticoagulant") is frequently given. In the United States (U.S.), an anticoagulant called, Heparin, is commonly used for CRRT. Some patients have a high risk of bleeding and cannot be given heparin, because it can cause harm to them. For these patients, an anticoagulant, called citrate, can be used. The study drug being tested contains citrate. The study drug works as an anticoagulant and may also help cleanse your blood during the CRRT treatment.
The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan compared to placebo (both administered in combination with standard of care) in adult participants aged at least 18 years to ≤ 60 years and adolescents (12-17 years in non-EU countries and 16-17 years in EU countries) with idiopathic IC-MPGN. The study aims to demonstrate a reduction in proteinuria and stabilization in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in participants treated with iptacopan compared to placebo. Change in patient-reported fatigue will also be evaluated. Alternative complement pathway (AP) dysregulation is believed to underlie the clinical manifestations and progression of IC-MPGN. Serum complement (C3) and other complement pathway biomarkers will be assessed to demonstrate that iptacopan reduces AP activity and targets the underlying cause of disease.
The goal of this observational study is to collect long-term safety and performance data for the use of the EndoForce System for connecting a hemodialysis graft to a vein in patients with End Stage Renal Disease. This is not an experimental procedure or an experimental therapy. This means that the study device has been approved by the FDA.
This is a multi-center, prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, staged, pivotal clinical study to evaluate the safety and performance of the aXess graft in subjects aged 18 and above, diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease, and possessing an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 20 ml/min, who intend to undergo hemodialysis but are considered unsuitable candidates for fistula creation by the investigating surgeon. The alternative option is called an arterio-venous graft (AVG), where the doctor implants a synthetic/artificial tube under the patient's skin, where one end of the tube connects to a vein and the other to an artery. This tube is then used as the ‘access site' during hemodialysis. Participants with ESRD in need of vascular access, and who agree to be in this study, and also meet all the eligibility criteria for participation, will receive the Xeltis aXess graft, a type of AVG as previously described.
Subjects with stenosis or occlusion within the dialysis outflow circuit who meet the
inclusion and exclusion criteria are intended to participate in this study. The
eligibility criteria are kept to a minimum to better represent the subject profile treated
in actual clinical practice without selecting sub-groups of particular low/high risk or
excluding certain diseases or anatomies.
