First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether bempedoic acid, a drug already approved for high cholesterol, can safely slow the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). About 120 adults with rapidly progressing ADPKD will receive either the drug or a placebo for two years. The main goals are to check safety and tolerability, with early signs of effectiveness also measured.
