New injection shows promise for kidney disease in early trial
NCT ID NCT07289763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called SHR-2173 in 75 adults with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney condition that can lead to kidney failure. The drug is given as an injection over several doses. Researchers are checking if it is safe and can help control the disease by reducing protein in the urine and improving kidney function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SHR-2173 injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option that helps control primary membranous nephropathy and reduce kidney damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to improve outcomes.
