Diseases of the Kidney & Urinary Tract, Phase II-III

Treating Kidney Disease in Patients with APOL1

What is the purpose of this trial?

If you are 18-65 years old, diagnosed with kidney disease, and not diabetic, you may be eligible for a clinical trial that is testing an investigational medication to treat APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD). AMKD is caused by genetic variations, which occur commonly in people with African ancestry, and can increase your risk of reaching end-stage kidney disease. Interested participants will receive investigational genetic testing to see if they carry the disease-causing APOL1 genes. Qualified participants will be compensated for study-related time and reimbursement for travel.
