New pill shows promise for kidney disease patients
NCT ID NCT06670352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new drug called HSK39297 in 87 adults with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease. The goal was to see if the drug could lower protein levels in urine, a sign of kidney damage, compared to a placebo. Participants took the drug or placebo for up to 24 weeks, and researchers measured changes in urine protein.

Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of other investigational drugs at the time of enrollment, or within 5 half-lives of enrollment, or within 90 days, whichever is longer. 2. All transplanted patients (any organ, including bone marrow). 3. History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in-situ cervical cancer), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases. 4. Any surgical or medical condition which might significantly alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, or which may jeopardize the subject in case of participation in the study. 5.
