Kidney hope: two-pill combo may slow damage in diabetic patients
NCT ID NCT07598864
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a two-drug combination (dapagliflozin plus finerenone) against dapagliflozin alone in 88 adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if the combo better reduces protein in urine, a key sign of kidney damage. Participants take pills daily for 8 weeks, and researchers monitor kidney function and safety. This is a Phase 3 trial, but it is not yet recruiting.
