Interactive Computer-adaptive Chronic Kidney Disease Education Program
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate a culturally tailored computerized education program in hospitalized African-American patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main question it aims to answer are: does computerized adaptive education (CAE) increase patients' knowledge about CKD self-care and renal replacement therapy (RRT) …
Effects of an ACT-based Psychological Treatment in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
Investigation of the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for the psychological treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease.
Nephrospec Switzerland
This is a randomized, double-blind sham-controlled monocentric trial. 30 patients that are diagnosed with hypertension and with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease are included in this trial. 20 of them are randomized into the active treatment arm, 10 into the sham arm. Low-intensity extracorporal shock wave (Li-ESWT) sessions (arm1) …
Potassium Correction for RAAS Optimization in Chronic Kidney Disease
The goal of this placebo-controlled, double-blinded cross-over trial is to test whether patiromer, compared with placebo, better enables up-titration of RAAS-blocker treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3b/4. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does patiromer allow uptitration of irbesartan, resulting in a significant reduction in …
A Clinical Trial to Define the Best Strategy for the Management of Heart Failure in Elderly Patients
Heart failure (HF) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients are frequently not administered renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapies at recommended doses due to hyperkalaemia, despite proven mortality and morbidity benefits. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) is a nonabsorbed potassium binder proven to lower serum potassium (S-K) and maintain normokalaemia. The …
Remimazolam Infusion in Kidney Transplant Patients: A Multicenter Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of remimazolam (CNS 70754) in healthy adult participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the key pharmacokinetic parameters of remimazolam, including peak concentration (Cmax), time to peak concentration (Tmax), area under …
Diuretic Tuner Clinical Decision Support
This purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a mobile phone application in helping to control body swelling in patients with kidney problems. The application will help in the day to day adjustments in diuretic medication dosing. Participants in this study will have an application loaded on …
Diuretics Alone vs. Aortix Endovascular Device for Acute Heart Failure
Aortix is a circulatory support device for chronic heart failure patients on medical management who have been hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and have persistent congestion despite usual medical therapy. Eligible ADHF patients with diuretic resistance (irrespective of ejection fraction) will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to either …
Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training in Chronic Kidney Disease
More than 80% of individuals with chronic kidney disease have concomitant hypertension and the majority fail to achieve blood pressure control <130/80 mmHg, leading to high risk of cardiovascular diseases and end-stage kidney disease. A stepwise combination of lifestyle modifications and drug therapy is recommended to lower blood pressure; however, …
The Potential Protective Effect of Using Muscle Relaxants During Electroporation Ablation (PFA)
The study aims to improve the safety of the electroporation ablation (PFA) procedure by using muscle relaxants to reduce skeletal muscle damage during the procedure. It will also assess myocardial damage to improve the procedure's quality and speed up recovery after the procedure.
