Clinical Trials in Pediatric CKD: Trial with SGLT2 Inhibitors?

November 02, 2023 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 108, Pennsylvania Convention Center

Session Description

SGLT2 inhibitors are a class of drugs that have recently been shown to be effective in slowing the progression of kidney diseases in adults with and without diabetes. The majority of clinical trials have been conducted in adults. This session focuses on the outcomes of clinical trials in adults, as well as obstacles in designing a pediatric clinical trial and a conceptual model for a trial in children. A family's perspective on CKD is also shared.

ASN thanks the Kidney Health Initiative for assistance with this session.
