Why is this study being conducted?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a potential new treatment for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). FSGS is a progressive kidney disease where the filters (glomeruli) of the kidneys become inflamed and are damaged by scarring. This makes the filters ‘leaky’ over time and allows protein from the blood to collect in the urine (proteinuria).
Who is eligible to participate in this study?
You may be eligible if you:
- Are 12 years of age or older
- Weigh at least 40 kg
- Have primary FSGS confirmed through a kidney biopsy, or documentation of genetic FSGS
Applicants who express interest in participating in this study will be reviewed and contacted as other requirement criteria must also be met.
What happens during the study?
Trial duration will be about 2 years and you will have about 12 trial visits and 3 phone calls.
Trial site visits will occur at the Griffith University Clinical Trial Unit on the Gold Coast.
You will be assigned to receive either study drug or placebo (non-active medication), to be taken once a day by mouth.
Volunteer to participate
Participation in this study is completely voluntary, and participants can decide to withdraw at any time.
