A Study to Evaluate the Nrf2 Response in Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with ADPKD present with abnormal levels of fumarate that correlates with disease severity and this increase in fumarate results in upregulation of Nrf2 signaling leading to increased cellular proliferation and contributing to cystogenesis.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
