New combo pill aims to protect kidneys in High-Risk patients
NCT ID NCT07222917
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding dapagliflozin to baxdrostat reduces protein in the urine (a sign of kidney damage) better than baxdrostat alone. About 218 adults with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure will take either the combo or baxdrostat plus a placebo. The goal is to see if the combination offers extra kidney protection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- baxdrostat and dapagliflozin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new way to reduce kidney damage in people with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase IIb trial with only 218 participants, so results are preliminary. The added benefit of dapagliflozin over baxdrostat alone may be small or absent.
