Tolerance Through Mixed Chimerism (Sip-Tego)
This is an open-label, single-institution study to assess the safety and the efficacy of the Sip-Tego regimen for the induction of donor-specific immunologic unresponsiveness to a renal allograft. The investigators propose to treat 6 adult subjects in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who do not demonstrate evidence of prior sensitization.
GI Oxalate Absorption
This study aims to learn more about how oxalate, a compound found in many foods, may affect a person's chances of forming kidney stones. Active participation in this study will last for around one week. For the first two days, subjects will be asked to eat a special diet at …
NSAIDs Stent Study
This is a pilot study to (1) evaluate the effect of Ketorolac on inflammatory response and its impact on stent related symptoms in patients undergoing stent placement procedure and (2) assess feasibility of recruitment, randomization, assessment procedures and implementation of the study intervention.
Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) Versus Static Cold Storage (SCS) in Human Kidney Transplantation
Due to organ shortage in kidney transplantation (KT) several strategies have been implemented in an attempt to increase donor pool utilization, including transplantation of extended criteria donor (ECD) allografts. While the transplantation of ECD organs saves patients from waiting-list dropout, these pre-damaged organs exhibit an increased susceptibility to further injury …
The Effect of Pyridoxamine Supplementation on Microvascular Function in Type 2 Diabetes
Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing vascular complications. Microvascular dysfunction might be caused by the increased production of methylglyoxal under hyperglycaemic conditions. Methylglyoxal is a by-product of glycolysis and forms advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on proteins and DNA, thereby disrupting their function. Preventing methylglyoxal accumulation …
Early Trial of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients Who Will Receive a Kidney Transplant From the Same Donor
This is a single center, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase 1b/2a trial of performing sequential αβdepleted-HSCT and KT in patients requiring KT to prevent kidney rejection post-KT, in the absence of any post-KT immunosuppression, to abrogate the need for lifelong immunosuppression, the risk of chronic rejection and, ultimately, the need for …
Amnioinfusion for Fetal Renal Failure
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if serial amnioinfusions can improve the chances of survival for fetuses with severe kidney problems that cause low amniotic fluid (anhydramnios). Low amniotic fluid can affect lung development and may lead to serious health issues for the fetus. The main questions …
Protocol Active Surveillance Small Renal Masses (SRMs)
Prospective study of active surveillance, non-randomized, multicentric, in asymptomatic patients over the age of 50 years, not affected by other tumors, with occasional diagnosis of single monolateral solid renal mass equal to or less than 2 cm of diameter. Diagnosis will be performed with chest CT abdomen with contrast and …
Investigation of Differential Biology of Benign and Malignant Renal Masses Using Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques
The aim of this study is to develop techniques for non-invasive imaging of biology in participants with benign or malignant renal masses based on the novel scanning MRI techniques, including recently invented Hyperpolarised MRI, deuterium metabolic imaging and sodium MRI. This imaging study will: 1) acquire imaging data from human …
Advanced Diffusion Imaging in Renal Cancer Patients
The objective of this study is to apply advanced diffusion imaging in a two-pronged assessment of renal mass patients: (1) characterization of lesion malignancy and subtype, and (2) prediction of renal function stability or decline following partial nephrectomy.
