DIABETIC KIDNEY DISEASE

This study tests whether montelukast, a common allergy medication, can lower protein levels in urine and improve kidney and blood vessel function in people with type 1 diabetes who have early signs of kidney disease. Inflammation is thought to play a role in diabetic kidney damag…

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called MTX-439, an antibody that blocks a protein linked to kidney scarring. It will be given to healthy volunteers and people with diabetic kidney disease to check for safety and how the body processes it. The study is small (88 participan…

This study tests whether a new drug called R3R01 can reduce the amount of protein leaking into the urine in adults with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. About 60 participants will take either R3R01 or a placebo for 3 months. Researchers will measure urine protein, kidney funct…

This study is testing whether semaglutide, a drug already used for type 2 diabetes, can reduce kidney damage in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. About 60 adults will receive either semaglutide or a placebo for 26 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in …

This study tests whether a supplement called NMN can improve kidney health in people with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. About 156 adults will take either NMN or a placebo twice daily for 6 months. The main goal is to see if NMN reduces protein in the urine, a key s…

This study tests whether specially trained community pharmacists can help people with type 2 diabetes and early kidney disease start and stick with medications that protect the kidneys and heart. The trial will include 120 adults in Nova Scotia who don't have a family doctor. Par…

This study tests whether formoterol, a drug already used for asthma, can help control diabetic kidney disease. About 120 adults with type 2 diabetes and kidney problems will be randomly assigned to add formoterol to their usual care or continue usual care alone. The main goal is …

This study tests whether taking activated bamboo charcoal and probiotics can reduce inflammation and slow kidney disease in people with diabetes. About 300 participants with different stages of chronic kidney disease will receive one or both treatments for 6 months. Researchers w…

This early-stage trial is testing a new oral drug called AP303 in 18 people with diabetic kidney disease. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and how the body processes it over two weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either AP303 or a placebo, and res…

This study looks at how an FDA-approved diabetes drug, Canagliflozin (Invokana), might protect the kidneys in people with type 2 diabetes. Twenty adults aged 18-80 with type 2 diabetes for at least 3 years will take the drug daily for 6 months. Researchers will use kidney biopsie…

This study aims to better understand acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease by analyzing kidney tissue from 1000 volunteers. Researchers will use advanced technology to identify different disease types and find new targets for therapies. The goal is to pave the way for pe…

This study explores whether advanced MRI scans can noninvasively diagnose and track diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Researchers will scan 150 people—including DKD patients and healthy volunteers—using multiple MRI techniques. The goal is to see if these scans can predict kidney fu…

This study is looking at 300 people with type 2 diabetes who have high levels of protein in their urine, a sign of kidney trouble. Researchers will take small samples of kidney tissue (biopsies) and analyze blood, urine, and stool to find patterns that could improve diagnosis and…
