New drug aims to shrink cysts in genetic kidney disease
NCT ID NCT06902558
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an investigational drug called ABBV-CLS-628 in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a genetic condition that causes fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys. About 240 participants worldwide will receive either the drug or a placebo by IV every 4 weeks for 92 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug can slow the increase in total kidney volume and check for side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ABBV-CLS-628
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could slow kidney growth and preserve kidney function in people with ADPKD, potentially delaying the need for dialysis or transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 240 participants. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
