Major trial tests new treatment to delay kidney failure

NCT ID NCT00500682

Completed Disease control Sponsor: Tanabe Pharma Corporation Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This large study tested whether adding AST-120 to standard care could slow the worsening of moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. Over 1,000 patients were randomly assigned to receive either AST-120 or a placebo pill, and researchers tracked whether they needed dialysis, a kidney transplant, or had significant worsening of kidney function. The goal was to see if this treatment could help patients stay off dialysis longer.
