What is the purpose of the Moon clinical research study?
If you were diagnosed with CKD, please know that you are not alone in your medical journey. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive, long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose function over time, often remaining undetected until advanced stages.
Currently, we are working on developing potential treatments for CKD. Moon is a clinical research study that aims to see if an investigational treatment may be effective and well-tolerated in adults and adolescents with CKD.
Am I eligible?
You can see if you meet some of the requirements by completing the pre-screening questionnaire.
What are the study treatments?
Investigational treatment:
This treatment is a drug that targets [include 1-3 sentences on how the treatment is believed to work].
Comparator treatment:
Sodium-Glucose Co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors
Placebo:
A placebo looks like a treatment but does not contain any real medicine. Researchers can tell whether an investigational treatment is effective by understanding if it works better than a placebo.
Once the study doctor confirms that you qualify, you will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups. You will have an equal chance of receiving any one of these, similar to flipping a coin.
What can I expect if I participate?
Study participation is 100% voluntary (your choice). You will receive information on what to expect, as well as your roles and responsibilities if you join the Moon study. You may leave the study at any time without it affecting your regular health care.
If you join the study, there are certain things you will be expected to do. This includes attending study visits and undergoing certain assessments and procedures. Your participation may last up to 3 months with 15 study visits.
3 months + 2 months follow-up
15 study visits
Qualified participants may be reimbursed for travel to and from study visits, and medical care related to their participation, including the study treatment, may be provided at no cost. The study team will discuss all of this with you.
