Efficacy and Safety of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Adolescents With Early Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease
Testing kidney disease drug effects and safety in teens with early CKD
📍 Instituto de atención Integral de Enfermedades Renales del Estado de Aguascalientes · Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes · Get directions →
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Epidemiologic and histologic studies suggest that this burden is largely driven by reduced nephron endowment of prenatal origin, leading to compensatory glomerular hyperfiltration, adaptive podocytopathy, and persistent albuminuria at early stages of disease.

Randomised Evaluation of Sodium Dialysate Levels on Vascular Events
Testing whether two dialysate salt levels affect heart events and death
📍 Royal Adelaide Hospital · Adelaide, · Get directions →
This global study will assess the effect of randomising dialysis sites to one of two default dialysate sodium concentrations in current practice, 140mmol/l and 137mmol/l, on major cardiovascular events and death in patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis.

Mechanism of SGLT2 Inhibition in the Kidney
Testing how SGLT2 medicines affect kidney function in type 2 diabetes
📍 University of Michigan · Ann Arbor, MI · Get directions →
The goal of this open-label, non-randomized clinical trial is to determine what effects, if any, an FDA-approved drug class known as SGLT2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin or INVOKANA) has any protective effects on kidney function in Type 2 diabetes. We are looking for participants 18-80 years of age, who have had a clinical diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes for ≥ 3 years.

Feasibility Trial of Sodium-GLucose coTransporter 2 INhibitors in Pediatric Chronic KIDney DiSease
Testing whether a trial of SGLT2 inhibitors in youth with chronic kidney disease is feasible
📍 Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago · Chicago, IL · Get directions →
The goal of this study is to learn if a clinical trial of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is possible in youth with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The investigators also plan to explore whether treatment with SGLT2i (Empagliflozin) helps improve risk factors for worsening kidney and heart disease.

Subclinical Primary Aldosteronism in Diabetes At-Risk for Kidney Disease
Testing whether people with type 2 diabetes have early hormone-related kidney risk
📍 Brigham and Women's Hospital · Boston, MA · Get directions →
The aim of this protocol is to assess the presence and severity of primary aldosteronism pathophysiology in patients with type 2 diabetes who have, or are at-risk for developing, chronic kidney disease.

Glucagon-like-peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Patients Receiving Maintenance Dialysis
Testing whether a weekly diabetes medicine is safe for people on dialysis
📍 Unity Health Toronto · Toronto, Ontario · Get directions →
This study aims to determine if GLP1RA is safe and tolerable in maintenance dialysis population, adherence, and feasibility of a larger definitive cardiovascular outcome trial in this population. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either weekly subcutaneous semaglutide versus usual care and followed for 26 weeks.

Pioglitazone to Reduce Sympathetic Overactivity in CKD Patients
Testing whether pioglitazone can reduce overactive nerve activity in people with chronic kidney
📍 University of Texas at Arlington · Arlington, TX · +1 more US site · Get directions →
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. An overactive sympathetic nervous system in CKD patients is one of the major mechanisms increasing the cardiovascular risks in this patient population.
