New registry aims to speed up PKD research
NCT ID NCT01873235
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a registry and biobank of 350 adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in the Mid-Atlantic region. Participants will provide medical information, have kidney volume measured by MRI, and donate blood, urine, and DNA samples. The goal is to build a resource that helps researchers design and conduct future clinical trials to slow or prevent disease progression.
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 registry will provide a valuable resource for researchers to design future studies and trials for polycystic kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It builds infrastructure for future research, so it does not directly test any new therapy.
