NCT ID NCT06435858

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This study looks at how Empagliflozin, a diabetes drug, affects calcium, phosphate, and magnesium levels in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). About 40 adults will take either the drug or a placebo for 2 weeks, then switch. The goal is to understand how the kidneys handle these minerals, not to treat the disease itself.
