Upping Our Game: Advances in Clinical Trials for Pediatric Kidney Diseases

November 09, 2025 | 09:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Location: Room 360A, Convention Center

Session Description

Most kidney and glomerular diseases are rare conditions that require novel approaches and considerations to test for effectiveness and translate into clinical care. This session provides updates on how best to approach therapeutic targets and study design for pediatric kidney diseases. This session also explores opportunities to collaborate and increase the number of options that are safe and effective for children with kidney diseases.

Learning Objective(s)

• Describe the landscape for regulatory approval of novel drugs for use in children
• List novel approaches to study design in rare diseases
• Summarize collaborative research to enhance trials in children with kidney diseases

Learning Pathway(s)

• Pediatric Nephrology
• Glomerular Diseases
