New drug cocktail aims to slow kidney disease
NCT ID NCT06350123
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding balcinrenone to the standard drug dapagliflozin helps people with chronic kidney disease more than dapagliflozin alone. 324 adults with kidney disease and protein in their urine took either a combination pill or dapagliflozin alone for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in urine protein levels to see if the combo works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- balcinrenone combined with dapagliflozin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more effective treatment option for chronic kidney disease by reducing protein in urine better than current standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early dose-finding study (Phase IIb) with only 324 participants. The combination may not prove significantly better than dapagliflozin alone, and side effects or tolerability issues could emerge.
