New pill aims to plug protein leak in kidney patients
NCT ID NCT07614477
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called EVER001 in 45 adults with three types of kidney disease (FSGS, MCD, or IgA nephropathy) that cause protein to leak into urine. Participants take the drug twice daily for a year. The main goal is to see if it safely reduces protein levels and helps control the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EVER001 (oral capsule, 200 mg twice daily)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, EVER001 could offer a new treatment option for people with certain kidney diseases, potentially reducing protein leakage and preserving kidney function.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to improve kidney health.
