Test drug VX-147 for APOL1-related protein in urine kidney disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies whether VX-147 can improve kidney disease caused by an APOL1 gene change, which often leads to protein leaking into the urine. It includes both adults and children and focuses on safety and effectiveness over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have the APOL1 gene pattern G1/G1, G2/G2, or G1/G2
- You have kidney disease where urine protein is present (proteinuria)
- If you join Part B, you finished Part A and did not permanently stop the study drug
- You have not had a solid organ or bone marrow transplant
- Your blood pressure is controlled (not uncontrolled hypertension)
- You do not have diabetes and your kidney disease is not from another known cause (like sickle cell disease)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an experimental drug called MZE829 for people with kidney disease linked to the APOL1 gene. It aims to see if the drug can help protect kidney function.
This trial tests an experimental drug (AZD2373) for people with kidney disease caused by APOL1 gene changes. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose to slow kidney damage.
This trial tests a new study drug called AZD1613 for adults with a certain type of kidney disease (ADPKD). Researchers want to see if it is safe, how the body handles it, and what the right dose might be.
This trial tests a new drug, ABBV-CLS-628, for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The goal is to see if it slows kidney function decline and is safe to use.
This trial looks at whether certain gene changes (APOL1) affect how well people with a type of kidney disease called nephrotic syndrome respond to treatment. Researchers will review medical records to find patterns that predict remission.
This study checks if a new genetic test for the APOL1 gene works correctly. It uses samples from people who have already joined another drug trial.
