NCT ID NCT05715814

First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a daily 25 mg dose of empagliflozin, a drug usually used for diabetes, is safe and helps preserve the small amount of kidney function that some people on peritoneal dialysis still have. Researchers will measure changes in kidney function over time and check for any side effects. The study involves 20 adults who produce at least 250 ml of urine per day and are on a stable dialysis routine.
