NCT ID NCT07716618
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This clinical trial tests an experimental drug called SAL0120 in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study aims to see if different doses of SAL0120 can reduce protein in the urine, a key marker of kidney damage. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either SAL0120 or a placebo for 12 weeks. The trial includes adults aged 18 to 75 with moderate to severe CKD.
