Study summary

The purpose of this study is to find a protein (ex. Polycystin 1 or mucin and cadherin like protein) in the urine that is changed after treatment of hydralazine.

Inclusion criteria

  • Confirmed diagnosis of ADPKD
  • estimated (eGFR) > 60 ml/min/1.73m\^2

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of systemic lupus erythematous or other rheumatologic disorder
  • Baseline anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) >1:80 for females and >1:40 for males
  • Blood pressure \< 120/80 without anti-hypertensive
  • Angina pectoris or myocardial infarction in the last 6 months
  • Liver disease
  • Allergy to hydralazine
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 26, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
