What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study collects kidney tissue from 100 adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who are already scheduled for kidney removal. Researchers will analyze the tissue for additional genetic mutations that may drive cyst formation. The goal is to better understand why the disease affects people so differently and to uncover clues for future treatments.

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 research could reveal why some people with ADPKD get worse faster than others, pointing toward new targets for future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational tissue-collection study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and findings may take years to translate into clinical use.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Inclusion criteria include patients with a diagnosis of end-stage renal disease caused by ADPKD who are scheduled for native nephrectomy. The clinical indications for native nephrectomy will be determined by the surgeon prior to enrollment of the subject. These patients will be identified during the pre-operative evaluation that occurs prior to the surgery. At the time of this evaluation, subject eligibility will be assessed by a co-investigator and their willingness to participate will be evaluated. Subjects who agree to participate will provide informed consent, and blood samples (30 mL) will be obtained for extraction of nucleic acids, in addition to the routine preoperative blood tests.

Ages

18 to 100 years

Sex

Anyone

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females * 18 years of age or older * Confirmed diagnosis of ADPKD * Undergoing a native nephrectomy * Willing and able to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Unable or unwilling to provide informed consent
