Cholesterol pill could be new hope for slowing inherited kidney disease
NCT ID NCT07282821
Summary
This study is testing if 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 ADPKD will take either the drug or a placebo pill for two years to see if it reduces kidney cyst growth and preserves function. The main goals are to check the drug's safety and see if it shows early signs of helping control this serious inherited disease.
