Could a diabetes drug shield Kids' kidneys?
NCT ID NCT07204743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug used in adults for diabetes and kidney protection, can reduce protein leakage in the urine of children with chronic kidney disease. Ten children aged 4 to 18 with persistent proteinuria despite standard therapy will take the drug, and researchers will measure changes in urine protein and kidney function. The goal is to see if the drug can help control the disease and slow kidney damage.
