About this Study

This study evaluates whether a new medication (MZE829) can help reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function in people with kidney disease related to the APOL1 gene.

Study Purpose

Chronic kidney disease related to APOL1 gene variants disproportionately affects people of African ancestry. When these gene variants are present, they can cause progressive kidney damage characterized by protein leakage into the urine. Currently, there are no treatments that target the underlying genetic cause. This study tests whether directly targeting the APOL1 pathway can reduce protein in the urine and potentially slow or prevent kidney function decline.

Duration

The study lasts approximately 16 weeks total: 12 weeks taking the study medication, followed by a 4-week follow-up period.

Location

The study is being conducted at Access Research Institute, located at 11373 Cortez Blvd Building C, Suite 200, Brooksville, FL 34613.
