NCT ID NCT04174066

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is collecting blood, urine, and kidney tissue samples from 144 children and adults with a kidney condition called nephrotic syndrome. The goal is to build a large database and sample collection to study how the immune system and kidney cells interact. Researchers hope this will help find new treatment targets and reduce reliance on steroids and other drugs with many side effects.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could identify new drug targets for nephrotic syndrome, potentially leading to more effective treatments with fewer side effects.

What could go wrong

This is an observational biobank study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and results may take years to translate into clinical use.
