- NCT02235857Recruiting
Device treatment study for children with focal segmental kidney scarring
This trial studies a medical device (the Liposorber LA-15) in children with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a kidney condition that can cause heavy protein loss in the urine. It may help by improving disease control when standard treatments have not worked, were hard to tolerate, or can’t be used.

Study of a blood-filter treatment for FSGS not responding to meds
This study looks at how well a specialized blood-filter device (the LIPOSORBER® LA-15) works for people with primary FSGS—especially when standard steroid and other medicines don’t work or can’t be tolerated. It may help reduce disease activity, particularly in people with kidney function that is still moderate or in those after kidney transplant.

Study for children with new kidney protein loss
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.

Study of praliciguat for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
This trial tests an investigational drug called praliciguat for people with FSGS, a kidney disease that causes scarring in the kidney filters. The goal is to see if praliciguat can help reduce protein in the urine and protect kidney function.

What taking part in a focal segmental glomerulosclerosis study involves
A screening visit first

Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
