NAVIGATE-Kidney Program for Kidney Disease
(NAV-Kidney Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The overarching goal of this project is to refine and adapt previous work on the NAVIGATE-Kidney project for Latinx with CKD. The investigators hypothesize that the multilevel NAVIGATE-Kidney program intervention will reduce the rate of central venous catheter use at KRT start (primary outcome), increase the rate of optimal KRT starts (secondary outcome), increase patient activation, and reduce decisional conflict (patient-centered outcomes) for Latinx with advanced CKD. The project will have four (4) aims.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What safety data exists for the NAVIGATE-Kidney Program for Kidney Disease?
The available research highlights that chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at high risk for safety issues, such as medication errors and adverse events, due to impaired kidney function and frequent healthcare interactions. While specific safety data for the NAVIGATE-Kidney Program is not provided, the general safety concerns for CKD patients are well-documented, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and management to prevent harm.12345
How is the NAVIGATE-Kidney CHW treatment different from other kidney disease treatments?
The NAVIGATE-Kidney CHW treatment is unique because it involves patient navigators who help coordinate care, address system barriers, and educate patients, which is not a standard approach in kidney disease management. This program aims to improve outcomes by providing personalized support and education, similar to successful strategies used in cancer care.16789
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Navigate-Kidney CHW for kidney disease?
Research shows that patient navigator programs and enhanced personal health records can improve healthcare quality for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Additionally, adherence to a multidisciplinary renal health program has been effective in reducing the need for dialysis and lowering mortality rates in CKD patients.18101112

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
The NAVIGATE Kidney trial is for Latinx individuals with advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). It aims to improve kidney health outcomes by testing a program called NAVIGATE-Kidney. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants would need to meet certain health conditions related to CKD.Inclusion Criteria
