New hope for kids with kidney disease: drug trial targets protein leak
NCT ID NCT07024563
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called ravulizumab in children aged 2 to 18 with a kidney disease called IgA nephropathy. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce protein in the urine, a sign of kidney damage. Participants will receive the drug through an IV and be monitored for safety and effectiveness over about 2 years.
