Ancient herbs meet AI: could a TCM formula slow kidney failure in diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07459946
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formula, Jiajian Yishen Xiaozheng Qufeng Granules, combined with AI-driven diagnostics to treat diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease from type 2 diabetes). About 198 adults with mild-to-moderate kidney damage will receive the formula or a placebo in a double-blind trial. The goal is to see if the treatment can reduce protein in urine and slow kidney decline, potentially improving patients' quality of life.
