New hope for rare kidney patients: Long-Term drug trial shows promise
NCT ID NCT03955445
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of a drug called iptacopan for people with two rare kidney diseases: C3 glomerulopathy and IC-MPGN. About 225 adults who have already completed a previous iptacopan study will take the drug for an extended period. The goal is to see if iptacopan can help stabilize kidney function and reduce protein in the urine over time.
