New hope for kidney patients: diabetes drugs tested to fight nephrotic syndrome
NCT ID NCT07214818
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether two diabetes drugs (dapagliflozin and empagliflozin) can help adults with nephrotic syndrome, a kidney condition that causes protein leakage and swelling. About 75 participants will receive either one of these drugs plus standard care, or standard care alone, for 6 months. The goal is to see if these drugs reduce protein in urine, maintain remission, and prevent relapse, while monitoring kidney function and side effects.
