Study on combating PKD

About the project What's PKD?

About the project

The STOP-PKD trial is investigating a new treatment option for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). 

What is STOP PKD about?

This study aims to investigate whether an already approved drug from the group of so-called SGLT2 inhibitors can positively influence the course of ADPKD. 

What is PKD?

ADPKD is a hereditary condition characterised by the formation of numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the kidneys. Over time, these cysts grow, causing the kidneys to gradually lose their function. Those affected often require dialysis or a kidney transplant by middle age.

Who is behind the project?

The STOP-PKD study is funded and financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
