Summary

This study looks at whether canagliflozin, a drug used for diabetes, can safely reduce kidney damage in people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those on dialysis. About 35 adults with stage 4 or 5 CKD will take the drug for up to 26 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in urine protein levels and drug exposure to see if it works and is safe.
