Kidney health may change how body handles experimental drug ESK-001

NCT ID NCT06962774

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed phase 1 study looked at how different levels of kidney function affect the way the body processes a single dose of ESK-001, an experimental drug. Sixteen participants with healthy kidneys or mild, moderate, or severe kidney impairment each took one oral dose. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood and monitored for side effects to understand how the kidneys impact the drug's breakdown and removal.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ESK-001

What this could lead to

If successful, this study will help determine the right dose of ESK-001 for people with kidney problems, making future treatments safer and more effective.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small study (16 people) focused on drug levels, not on treating any disease. It only looks at a single dose, so long-term effects or benefits are unknown.
