The Royal North Shore Hospital Renal Clinical Trial Unit has a strong research history, participating in Phase 2 to Phase 4 clinical research for more than 20 years.
The Renal Clinical Trial Unit is led by a clinician supported by two full time trial coordinators and a part time research associate.
At any given time, our team coordinates 15 to 25 investigator-initiated or industry sponsored clinical trials, while also working in a busy clinical environment caring for patients with kidney diseases.
Some examples of clinical trials currently taking place:
- TRACK: Treatment of cardiovascular disease with low dose rivaroxaban in advanced CKD
- CARSK: Screening for asymptomatic coronary artery disease in kidney transplant candidates populations
- REDUCCTION: Reducing the burden of dialysis catheter complications in patients with kidney disease
- CLARITY: Controlled evaluation of angiotensin receptor blockers for COVID-19 respiratory disease
