New hope for rare kidney disease: experimental drug YOLT-203 enters phase 2 trial
NCT ID NCT07587021
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug, YOLT-203, in 36 children and adults with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), a rare genetic condition that causes painful kidney stones and kidney damage. The goal is to see if a single dose can safely lower oxalate levels in urine and blood over 6 months. Half the participants will get the drug first, while the other half will receive a placebo; after 6 months, everyone will receive the active drug.
