Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called GSK4771261 for safety and how the body processes it. Part A involves healthy volunteers, and Part B includes people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a genetic condition that causes kidney cysts and can lead to kidney failure. Neither participants nor doctors know who receives the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if the drug is safe enough to study further.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an experimental drug called GSK4771261
What this could lead to
If safe and effective, GSK4771261 could point toward a new treatment for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a condition that often leads to kidney failure.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small Phase 1 trial focused on safety, not on whether the drug works. Many drugs fail in early testing, and side effects are unknown.
