NCT ID NCT04929379

Summary

This study is testing if fenofibrate, a generic drug used to lower blood fats, can help protect the kidneys in people with type 1 diabetes who have early signs of kidney damage. It will enroll 40 participants who will take either fenofibrate or a placebo for 18 months to see if the drug can slow the loss of kidney function. The goal is to gather information to design a larger future trial that could confirm if this affordable drug is a new treatment option.
