PHASE 2A DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY CLINICAL TRIAL: CU01-1001-P2A (COMPLETED)
The Phase 2a clinical trial of CU01-1001 in Type 2 diabetic nephropathy patients was conducted under an MFDS approved Investigational New Drug (IND) application at 6 clinical sites in South Korea.
Further details on the Phase 2a trial can be found at https://cris.nih.go.kr, CRIS Registration Number: KCT0004233
The Phase 2a trial was designed to assess safety and tolerability, changes in GFR and ACR. We reported encouraging results from a Phase 2a clinical trial in DN patients in March 2021.
The results of this study provided important insights into the design of a late phase clinical trial in preparation.
