  • The Role of Genetics and Socioeconomic Factors in Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The objectives of this study are to retrospectively assess detailed post-transplant outcomes in a large cohort of patients across 3 sites with a specific emphasis on the outcomes of Hispanics and American Indians compared to non-white Hispanics, to develop and implement a questionnaire to assess socioeconomic risk factors in transplant patients (including a cohort of Hispanics and American Indians), and to perform genetic studies (high-resolution HLA typing and whole genome sequencing studies) to identify genes associated with transplant outcomes (diabetes, rejection and graft loss) in Hispanics and American Indians.  

  • Treatment of Drug-resistant Adult and Pediatric Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Using the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System (LDL Apheresis) Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the probable benefit and safety of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, when the standard treatment options, including corticosteroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors treatments, have been unsuccessful or not well tolerated, and the patient has a GFR ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73m2, or the patient is post renal transplantation. Treatment for FSGS is considered unsuccessful if the patient is unresponsive to standard therapy (e.g., at least 8 weeks of corticosteroids) and fails to achieve complete or partial remission. A standard treatment is considered not well tolerated if the patient experiences severe side effects without providing an acceptable level of clinical benefit.

     

  • Variation in Quality of Life in End-Stage Kidney Disease and Transplantation in the Elderly Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to understand differences in quality of life across multiple domains in three distinct older populations: those on dialysis in the community setting, those wait-listed for kidney transplantation, and those who have successfully undergone kidney transplantation.
