Prospective Multicenter Non-randomized Single Arm Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of e-PTFE Grafts Inner Surface-treated With Paclitaxel as an Access for Hemodialysis in Patients With End-stage Renal Disease.

This prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm Clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the use of paclitaxel-coated arteriovenous graft (AVG) on the inner wall of ePTFE graft, which is designed to reduce neointimal hyperplasia that causes stenosis and thrombosis after implantation of AVG.

Microbiota and Bone Fragility:Study of the Relation Between Gut Microbiota and Bone Microarchitecture

Gut microbiota regulate metabolism of their human host. Some diseases are associated with variations in gut microbiota diversity and higher fracture risk. Intestinal bacteria synthesize or influence synthesis of factors modulating bone metabolism. The link between gut microbiota and bone was assessed mainly in experimental animal studies. Clinical data, e.g. …

ZEUS A research study to see how Ziltivekimab works compared to placebo in patients with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and inflammation (ZEUS)  

The purpose of this study is to see if the new study drug, Ziltivekimab, can be used to treat people with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and inflammation. The ZEUS study will see if Ziltivekimab can reduce the risk of having cardiovascular events (for example, heart attack and stroke).

Everolimus Plus Mycophenolic Acid for Kidney Preservation in Liver Transplant Recipients With Impaired Kidney Function

Replacement of Tacrolimus by Everolimus may have a reduced incidence of renal dysfunction in liver transplant patients who already have chronic kidney disease or peri-operative acute kidney injury. Liver transplant patients receive potent induction immunosuppression in the form of rabbit anti thymocyte globulin.

Liberation From Acute Dialysis

The goal of the LIBERATE-D clinical trial is to improve outcomes for patients recovering from dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury (AKI-D). The impact of a conservative dialysis strategy compared to standard clinical practice of thrice-weekly dialysis will be examined to help generate knowledge for how to guide delivery of dialysis to …

Antibiotic Selection Using Next Generation Sequencing vs Urine Culture

This is a randomized controlled clinical study evaluating the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to improve antibiotic prescribing before ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Hyperpolarized 13C Pyruvate MRI Scan in Predicting Tumor Aggressiveness in Patients With Localized Renal Tumor

This feasibility study will evaluate how well hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan works in predicting tumor aggressiveness in patients with localized renal tumor. Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate is a non-radioactive substance with potential usage in the diagnostic imaging of tumors. Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate MRI may help doctors determine …
